How can I create new applicationhost.config file in IIS Express Server?

问题

I had to delete my applicationhost.config, because VS 1012 didn't deal with it. How can I create it? thank you.

回答1:

Just run IISExpress and it will recreate the file for you. The exe is located at: "c:\Program Files\IIS Express\iisexpress.exe".

Hope this helps.

After you deleted applicationhost.config you do not need to run iisexpress.exe manually, you can simply load your project in Visual Studio and run it. Visual Studio will take care of that plus it will change applicationhost.config with settings for that project specified in project Properties window (not mouse menu properties).

It will add corresponding override section at the bottom of applicationhost.config

<location path="...WebServices">
    <system.webServer>
        <security>
            <authentication>
                <anonymousAuthentication enabled="false" />
                <windowsAuthentication enabled="true" />
            </authentication>
        </security>
    </system.webServer>
</location>
