Updating the Web.config File

The next step is to update the web.config file to call the iisstart.htm file, which reduces site start-up time. The default location of the web.config file on the e-Business server is C:\inetpub\wwwroot.

To update the web.config file, perform the following steps:

1. Locate the web.config file.
2. Open the file in a text editor, such as Notepad.
3. Find the <system.webserver> section.

4. Update the <system.webserver> section to match the following:
   
   

   <system.webserver>
      <applicationInitialization remapManagedRequestsTo="iisstart.htm" skipManagedModules="true">
         <add initializationPage="/home.aspx" />
      </applicationInitialization>  
   </system.webserver>

   
   
   
   

5. Save and close the web.config file.
6. Proceed to Installing the CodePlex Keep Alive Service.
