what is syntax to commit appicationHost.config changes using command prompt?

Had to made a changes to applicationHost.config file need to recommit changes how do I do commit those changes?

There is no "recommit" object that is supported by appcmd.exe.

1. If you want to add new config object: appcmd add apppool /name:NewAppPool
2. if want to update an existing config object: appcmd set site "Default Web Site" /id:200

About the closest thing to a recommit is a restore of a backup. For that the syntax is something like:

appcmd restore backup "Site001-backup-yyyymmdd"

In this case

2. if want to update an existing config object: appcmd set site "Default Web Site" /id:200

do I just use the words default web site if that is the site and what does /id:200 mean?

This is great information. I found an article that said if I stopped and restarted the application pool and the WAS service it would correct the error I was getting. That worked. I had made a change tot he applicationhost.config file and I did not stop IIS before making the change. Even though I the file was fined using appcmd list config I could not get rid of the error. The error said to recommit the file. Its corrected now. Thank you for this informaiton that would have been my next step. I will award the points to you.
