title: iis: applicationhost.config in iis express
body: <p>I am using iis express 7.5. I ran the following to create a new website:</p>
  <pre><code>&amp; 'C:\Program Files\IIS Express\appcmd.exe' add site /name:comm-app /id:2 /bindings:http/*:80:comm-app.local /physicalPath:C:\G_Drive\code\iis\www\CommunicationApp\public
  </code></pre>
  <p>I found this config was added to the config file in my documents folder here:</p>
  <pre><code>C:\Users\me\Documents\IISExpress\config\applicationhost.config
  </code></pre>
  <p>Then I decided to install the IIS console on my box and use that instead, but after installing and open the IIS console I can't see my new website. When look at the configuration editor I in the console I can see it is using the config file in the windows\system32\inetsrv.. directory:

  <p>Which config file is iis express actually using and how can I edit it with the console?</p>
