RE: Web.Config file path question "<appSettings file=..."

Tech-Archive recommends: Fix windows errors by optimizing your registry



Check and make sure you are at root on the server. Websites have a lot of
flexibility and it is possible your site is a) a root on the local box and b)
a subweb on the server. If so, it is looking to root to attempt to find path
and root is at least one directory up from where you are expecting it to be.
