IIS 7.5 saving configuration settings to web.config with IIS Manager
- by Caroline Beltran
I installed IIS 7.5 (Windows 7) on two different PCs, one PC saves configuration to applicationHost.config and the other to web.config! Screenshot:
As you can see, the PC on the left does not contain the settings (they are stored in applicationHost.config) and the PC to the right does in fact store the settings in web.config.
I have not and hope not to modify the configuration files by hand and would like to do it using IIS Manager only.
Does anyone know why this happens or if there is some setting to force configuration to the web.config file? Thank you.
Edit: I am adding a screenshot of the applicationHost.config file (PC on the left) demonstrating how the configuration is stored in it instead of inside the web.config file.
