All,

I have a live site running and I have updated the web.config and need to
deploy it. What are the implications of simply copying the new web.config
over the old one while the live site is running?

Thanks

Assuming the new one has no errors in it....the worker process will recycle
itself...meaning all in-memory items will be dumped, and page recompilation
will take place.

In other words, all cached items will be removed, site will be very slow for
the fisrt ~10 seconds (while it recompiles). If you are using InProc
sessions, session information will be lost...which, depending on how you are
using them, would likely result in users getting logged out, and have
whatever they were working on lost. If this is a "read-only" site,
implications are minor...
