  2. Open the Web.config file and locate the <CommerceServer> section.

  3. Copy the entire <CommerceServer> section from the Web.config file.

  4. Open the ChannelConfiguration.config file and paste the content previously copied in the <Site> section.

  5. Edit the commented out sections as follows. Highlight the <CommerceServer> section and then:

    1. Search for the string <!- - and replace with <!--

    2. Search for the string - -> replace with -->

    Note

    The difference is that the original string is being replaced by a string that contains no space.
