Applicationhost.config not showing changes

Question

We have a webserver hosted in Microsoft Azure. It\'s a Windows Server 2008 R2 Datacenter edition, 64 bit.

For a website hosted on this machine, I need to make change

Answer 1

The solution was to restart IIS as @RickStrahl mentioned, but even though it seems you can properly open and edit the applicationHost.config with Notepad++ or the Visual Studio installed on the server and configured to open .config files, it's not actually showing you the correct content!.

I installed Notepad2 x64 and then I could see the application pool I was looking for.

Bloody brilliant Microsoft... :[
