I just deleted config file on a 6.1.1 site. Went back to sites homepage and the file was automatically regenerated i.e. I didn't have to republish.

Also, perhaps it is timing out regenerating the file so you could increase the timeout in IIS?

Thanks for replying Paul.

It could be timing out but the worker process w3p3.exe is still increasing memory usage so I am guessing its doing something.  I'm reluctant to stop it because its been going for ages so far.  We have a truck load of nodes so maybe it just takes this long.  If i goto the homepage it just goes to the nonodes.aspx page.

Fun times.

Hi, Matthew,

You shouldn't need to do a 'republish'. Delete the /config/umbraco.config file and then touch the web.config to force an application pool restart. Upon restart the database will be queried (a lot) and the umbraco.config data will be recreated on disk automatically. A republish will publish all pages which will take forever. You don't need a republish, just a refresh of the config with the existing data.

cheers,
doug.

Thanks Doug.

think my issue is the following....

Seems like there is an error in my XML somehwere :( From what I read it can be hard to track down.  With 11,000 nodes......Must be a way :)
