In your case, I suspect that the web.config modifications had already been successfully made for ASP.Net 4.0 before you added the <location . . .> element. Unfortunately, other than a core code change or removing the <location . . .> element I don't see any way to completely resolve the issue. You can stop the growth of web.config and the resultant impact on performance caused by application re-starts each time web.config is modified by deleting (or renaming) the file \install\config\Net40.config. The current code will still fail to detect that the changes for .Net 4.0 have already been made and log a host alert error in the Event Viewer each time so you'll need to watch that the event log does not grow overly large and clear it as needed.

Thanks Bill, 
I am going to downgrade this site to .net 3.5

For my future reference (and for others):

To upgrade to ASP.NET 4.0, upgrade DNN framework, upgrade modules, install modules.


Do the following:

1. Backup the web.config
2. In web.config Remove the location tag above <system.webServer>
3. In web.config Remove the location closing tag below </system.web>

4. Upgrade to DNN framework that has this issue resolved (backup the httpdocs folder and DNN database before upgrading):

Thread title: Re: Inheritance disaster! DNN 5.6.1 in root, .net 2 app in subfolder

(should be GREATER THAN DNN 5.6.1)

5. Install any modules you want to upgrade / install; 
then BACKUP the DNN httpdocs folder and database AGAIN into the private directory

6. Upgrade the ASP.NET version to 4.0 at host

7. Check the event log to make sure the site has auto-upgraded to .net 4

8. In web.config replace the location tags:

<location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false"> 

goes right above <system.webServer>
_____________


</location>

tag goes below </system.web>

I'm having the same problem. I need the <location ...> wrapping also the <system.web> because of child apps and my web.config keeps growing even if all the changes for .Net 4.0 are already there. When can we expect a fix to this severe issue? Or should I try 3.5 for the time being?

I luckily had a copy of the site prior to upgrading to .net 4 and installing Razor Host

I downgraded to ASP.NET 3.5... and the site is working.  I don't plan on upgrading again till this error's fixed...
