I'm having a very frustrating problem with a no-touch-deployed
application and its app.config file. When it loads from a remote
server, it cannot get any settings from the app.config file. In trying
to locate the problem, I have tested the following things:
1. The application works flawlessly when deployed via XCopy.
2. The application works flawlessly when accessed on my own machine
via http://localhost.
3. The app.config file is accessible. I can browse to it manually and
download it.
4. The app.config file is being downloaded by the application and
stored in the IE browser cache, but is still not accessible to the
application.
5. Another application - a simple one for testing this situation -
exhibits exactly the same behaviour.
I have already removed the *.config mapping from IIS for the relevant
directory, and, just like before, the app.config is still accessible.
I have enabled anonymous access. Just like before, the app.config is
still accessible.
I have thus concluded that the problem is not with my server
configuration.
Is anyone able to offer any insight into the situation? Anyone else
encountered this problem?
