Web Configuration Overview

The web.config file is an XML document that contains the main settings and configuration information for your KommerceServer website. When the web.config file is changed and saved, the website must be reset. As such, it is important that you schedule a time to reset the website as any users that are currently using the website will be disconnected.

Be sure to create a backup of the web.config file before you make any changes to it. Failure to do so could result in performance issues or in some cases, it could result in your website being rendered inoperable.
