Question

While accessing localhost gives an error unable to read the security policy file for trust level 'wss_custom'

Answer 1

Looks like SharePoint is unable to read the wss_custom security policy. You have to check the Web.config files on all web front end make sure that the trust level is set properly.

i.e. something like this

<securityPolicy>
......
<trustLevel name="WSS_Custom" policyFile="C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\config\wss_custom.config" />
</securityPolicy>

On this path, make sure you have correct wss_custom.config file and lastly it is properly registered.
