Understanding the Configuration File Hierarchy
IIS starts out with basic settings. These settings don??™t appear in any of the standard folders for the
Web site. You??™ll find them in the \Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\
folder on your system, which is the starting point for all of the Web.CONFIG settings. When you need
to make a server-level setting change, you must open the server-level Web.CONFIG file to do it. Any
settings you make in this Web.CONFIG file affect every other level unless you provide a specific
override at that level.
TIP If you ever make a mistake in the Web.CONFIG file for the Web server that completely disables
the Web server (or, at least, damages it in such a way that fixes are difficult), you??™ll find a
Web.CONFIG.Default file in the \Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727
\CONFIG\ folder on your system. Copy this file to the Web.
