I thought I could RDP to the web server, open the web.config, make the
change, and save it.
But this causes IIS to hang, and it never recovers - I have to create
a new website in IIS!
Should I be copying the existing web.config, changing it, and then
copying the new version over the old version?
Any help appreciated, it is driving me nuts!

If you change web.config, IIS should recognise a change has occurred and
restart, loading the new values. I always issue an iisreset after I change
web.config - perhasp that will help you solve your issue.

How does an IIS Reset compare with a full restart of IIS? Does it do
anything differently?

Running iisreset.exe from the command-line (IIS reset) executes a full stop/restart of IIS. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/pro....mspx?mfr=true

If IIS hangs after a web.config change, something is wrong. IIS should not
hang, but instead it should signal a JIT recompile the next time someone
accesses a page for that application/application pool.

Waht did you use to edit the file? Notepad works fine, but if you use an
editor that lockes the file while editing, this might possible mess up IIS.

Was it IIS or the web site that did hang?

That would solve the problem if it is the editor that is causing it.
