Cannot write in applicationHost.cofig file of IIS

Question

I am experimenting this problem deleting an IP restriction on IIS:

I have given all permissions to the user but it did not resolve the problem, I also try to free some space on disk without any result, is there anything that I can try to solve it, this is happening since a month ago, thanks beforehand for any help.

Answer 1

It seems that the log server finish in an invalid state because of the memory was full time ago, so once the memory was empty I rebooted the server and everything works perfectly.

Answer 2

Try editing the file using notepad launched from an admin command prompt.

1. Open a cmd prompt by right clicking it, select 'run as administrator'.

2. At the cmd prompt type

   notepad c:\windows\system32\inetsrv\config\applicationhost.config
