iis 7 - IIS not correctly loading webServer config section -


i have asp.net application doesn't seem processing <webserver> element @ all. symptoms:

  • the httpmodules i've defined under <webserver><modules> aren't loaded (i have test page enumerates loaded httpmodules , indicates these aren't loading, can see hibernate session module not being hit)
  • i can add well-formed xml tag under <webserver> , iis ignores without error (whereas similar change @ same location in applicationhost.config gives immediate config schema error
  • but broken xml in same location gives immediate error (i.e. iis parsing file)
  • iis manager recognising additional httpmodules , shows them in ui
  • there no errors in event logs

things i've discounted:

  • config section locking: applicationhost.config file unchanged default - defines webserver element overridemodedefault="deny", has <location path=""> element defines default modules , unlocks modules element child applications
  • filesystem security: application pool running in integrated mode networkservice, , network service user has full permissions on

we're out of ideas - welcomed..
