If the web.config file is removed while the asp.net application is running, will it still continue or will it not allow config file to delete?
By default .NET monitors a few of the standard files/directories such as ~/web.config and ~/App_Code/. Once a change has been made, the application pool is reset. When the application pool starts back up, if there is no web.config file, the application will immediately crash.

I got some information form restart website in IIS when changing values in the appSettings of the web.config so now I know IIS will restart the application poll not website.
As I know when I update the web.config the IIS would restart the application pool but sometimes I didn't update the web.config but after my deploy the website seems like be restarted. Why? because I update the website.dll or some other reason and how does IIS works to know the dll was updated and it should use the new dll to serve the user?
Create/Update/Delete files under below folders will cause IIS recycle the app pool:
Bin
App_GlobalResources
Global.asax
App_Code
App_WebReferences
Web.config

ASP.net C# requires IIS restart when new DLL copied to BIN directory
I created a set of ASP pages which receive HTTP requests. Some of these requests pull data from a database, and few of them open text files to get info. My path to these text files are pretty straight-forward on my web server, and I refer to these in my web.config as below in the appSettings node.
<add key="MasterPath" value="C:\inetpub\wwwroot\VecoXtra\" />
However, my client (who is going to use this) has set up my scripts on their server but wants to use a UNC path to these files, and the process stops when changing it to:
<add key="MasterPath" value="\\10.10.6.2\euro$\INETPUB\VeXtra\StaticFiles\" />
I read somewhere to double up the slashes, but to no avail, as I think there are some permissions issues here. I tried identity in my config and adding my windows administrator login to the application pool but nothing allows me to access these files.
I changed the Applcation Pool AND the setting to load profile to true and it kicked into gear.. thanks for letting me talk it through :)
I use URL rewriting (HttpContext.Current.RewritePath(...)) inside Global.asax so the physical files mostly don't exist.
Everything was working fine until I had to remove site from IIS (8.5) and add it again.
And now I get 404 not found for every request. Example http://localhost/site/article123
And Global.asax Application_BeginRequest event not even firing.
If I however will add empty default.aspx file in folder /site/article123 everything starts to work fine with URL being correctly rewritten.
Files have not changed, so it's ought to be the problem with IIS configuration.
I do have following inside web.config:
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true">
Project in IIS is set as an Application with Application Pool .NET v2.0 Classic
Edit:
Same story in IIS 8.0
The problem was in Managed Pipeline Mode set as classic. Switching from classic to integrated by changing Application pool from .NET v2.0 Classic to .NET v2.0 sorted the problem.
As I understood this: in classic mode IIS is managing requests, while in intergated mode incoming IIS requests map to the ASP.NET engine.
More on pipeline modes: What is the difference between 'classic' and 'integrated' pipeline mode in IIS7?
You need to have ReWrite Module installed under IIS 8.5
Use Web Installer Platform to install it.
I'm trying to avoid having compile errors block the whole ASP site while we are in development. That is, I want each page to compile on first run instead of the whole site so that compile errors do not show up globally. That can be danged annoying when a dev takes off for lunch after saving with a systnax bleherror.
I've tried adding this to ye olde web config (changed from default "Always"):
<pages compilationMode="Auto" controlRenderingCompatibilityVersion="3.5" clientIDMode="AutoID">
This did not have the desired effect. What can I change in the webconfig or using IIS to disable precompilation?
Web.config
<compilation batch="false" />
Indicates whether batching is supported.
If True, eliminates the delay caused by the compilation required when you access a file for the first time. When this attribute is set to True, ASP.NET precompiles all the uncompiled files in a batch mode, which causes an even longer delay the first time the files are compiled. However, after this initial delay, the compilation delay is eliminated on subsequent access of the file.
The default is True.

I have IIS 7.0 on my development machine and IIS 6.0 on my server. On my development machine I was able to set a handler map on a directory within my site called /ViewHtml/ and I mapped it to asp.net. In my global.asax I check the request sent to asp.net for /ViewHtml/ and I serve the appropriate html file(html version of a Doc, Power Point, or Excel file) located outside this apps virtual directory. I am doing it this way because all files are permission protected, we didn't want to put these files in are database due to scalability, and I need to hide the path to these file on the server. This all works in IIS 7.0 exactly how I would like it to. Although I have not been able to get my IIS 6.0 server configured to map all requests to that directory to asp.net.
Any ideas? Thanks Guys?
I set up a web application using the same configuration you're using and I'm also getting the 404. I don't know why it works in IIS 7, but here's what I had to do to fix it.
Create a class that implements the System.Web.IHttpHandler class. move the the code from Application_BeginRequest to your implementation of IHttpHandler.ProcessRequest.
Now you just have to register your HTTP handler with ASP.NET. To do so add an entry in your Web.config at /configuration/system.web/httphandlers.
Web.config Example:
...
<httpHandlers>
<clear />
<add verb="*" path="*" type="namespace.classname, assemblyname" />
</httpHandlers>
...
That entry is telling ASP.NET to handle HTTP requests with any extension and any HTTP method by running the code in your HTTP hander. Note that I'm also clearing all the previously definded handlers (defined in the machine's web.config).
Note that you will still need the Application Mapping configured in IIS.
If I understand the problem correctly, it sounds like you need add a "Wildcard Application Mapping" for your virtual directory. In other words, you want to forward all requests to any file extension to ASP.NET's ISAPI extension.
To do so, open the properties of your virtual directory. On the Virtual Directory tab (Home Directory tab if it's a web site), click the Configuration... button. Click the Insert... button next to the bottom list box in the dialog that shows up. In this dialog, choose "%SYSTEMROOT%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_isapi.dll" as the executable and make sure to un-check "Verify that file exists" checkbox, since the files to be requested don't live in your virtual directory.
I hope this helps!
i think your problem is all about access policy , you have to make sure that the access policy is Read and not None , cz with None you have no permission to even read files from your website
