I have made a MVC 3 application and I am running a windows server 2008 r2. I am trying to deploy it and when I get the files loaded up it and navigate to the url it just shows me a file directory of my project. Any advice will be helpful.
In some case it could be from IIS 7 not recognizing the extension less urls. I'm not 100% sure if that's the issue here but surely something to check.

If you see below image, there are two applications deployed to IIS.
QManualDeployment - This is deployed using Visual studio Publish feature.
InstallShieldPOCWebApplication - This is deployed using InstallShield installation tool.
Option 1 is working without any issues, but as you see InstallShieldPOCWebApplication it looks like foder rather than web site. Also it does not work.
How can I deploy application as website using INSTALLSHIELD
Here is my IIS Settings from InstallShield Tool
Default Web Site is a website. QManualDeployment is a virtual directory / application off of Default Web Site.
In InstallShield, it isn't enough to just author all of your directories/files into components. You also have to define the IIS configuration.
I'm not sure if you are using InstallShield Express, Professional/Premier of Limited Edition so I can't give you more direction then that.
I faced same issue with Post owner, after run Install Shield setup file, it show a folder in IIS and I resolved by right click to folder name and convert to Application.
I share for whom concerned.
After that we can select suitable application pool as
What I am looking for and seem unable to find, it's late and I'm tired, is a step by step guide on how to set up windows 2008 server to run asp.net mvc applications.
I am a web applications developer, amongst other things, and can do that bit fine. Normally I let someone else, like the hosting company, worry about the setup and just publish using 1-Click with web deploy or ftp.
However, for this projects I have a local Windows Web Server 2008 R2 installed but I don't know how to set it up to run the application. the deploy works, all the files arrive in the correct folder on the server, but can I get it to work?
No.
Hence the question.
For your information the app is built using Sharp Architecture, MVC3 and Razor and targeted at .NET 4 which is installed on both my development PC and the server.
Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Best thing would be to download Windows Web Platform installer and select the options you want, for example, .NET 4, MVC3 etc etc ...
Then, remember to enable ASP.NET in your IIS (under Roles or something...).
Is there some kind of deployment wizard I can run and have it install just the things it needs to run right onto the server end point? Do I have to build the project using VS2010 on the server? If I can't get this thing deployed today I am really going to be screwed.
IIS 6 is there and I think .NET 4 is installed (I tried installing it from Microsoft and they had me install a million things like VS2010 express and SQL Server and all this other crap, the install failed but .NET 4 does show up in IIS).
I achieved this by enabling an FTP site for the IIS server website and using this to deploy the web application within visual studio 2010 which will build and deploy just the changed files for each build. Works very well. You can even add a Publish toolbar to help deploy regularly more easily.
All you have to do is install the .NET Framework 4.0 (32 / 64 depending on build) and run aspnet_regiis.exe in the Framework folder.
For me this is located here:
C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis.exe
Hope this helps!
You can also use the publish command from VS 2010 to save it to the filesystem and then copy the files into an IIS site on the target server. Just map a network drive to X: or something (for your sites root) and publish directly to the share.
You can take a look at Web Deployment projects or even the VS "Publish" feature
From the Build menu in VS2010, just click Publish [name of your web project] and enter the location on your web server where the site is going to be hosted.
VS2010 will publish the files required there.
It shouldn't be necessary to install VS2010 Express, just to deploy a site. But if .Net 4 and ASP.NET MVC 3 is installed, you should be able to deploy. Right click the web app in VS2010, and hit Publish.
Remember to set the configuration to Release!
But, with IIS 6 you could be in for a fight in regard to HTTP Modules, Handlers and other server configuration. Anything inside your Web.config's system.webServer section will always be ignored by IIS 6.
So to be specific, I'm using a windows server 2003 (that means iis 6). I've already installed ASP.NET MVC 3 RTM and .NET 4.
I've tried a few guides already.I've tried Haacked's guide too, then navigated to the root.
eg.
localhost/MyWebApp which showed Directory Listing denied (permission related problem probably not relevant to my actual problem).
Visiting another view, localhost/MyWebApp/Home.mvc/Index, showed 404 error page.
Is there anything I'm missing? I don't have any visual studio installed on the server but should I have used the Web Platform Installer instead?
Is your app working correctly when you deploy it from visual studio to local IIS?
The "Home.mvc" looks a little odd - with the default routes that would imply a controller named "Home.mvcController", which is not valid.
The other obvious thing to check is that "MyWebApp" is set up as a web application using a .NET 4 app pool rather than just being a directory.
Hope somebody can give me some info regarding this.
I have a silverlight web app (.NET 4). I would like to use msdeploy to deploy it to IIS 7 running on a Windows 7 64 bit machine.
I have read many pages and have tried a lot of the steps in them so far but am still struggling.
What I have done:
1. Installed Web Platform Installer.
2. Installed msdeploy
3. Started and set to automatically start: "Web Deployment Agent Service" and "Web Management Service"
4. Created a web site in IIS 7 and set permissions.
5. Tested the website "http://server/page and get a blank directory browsing because nothing is added yet.
So now I would like to deploy but am getting an error : "No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it:10.224.201.117:8172
I have tested telnet'ing to the address on port 8172 which fails.
It is suggested that msdeploy is not configured correctly and I need to Enable Remote Connections. However it does not seem that Windows 7 IIS 7 has the icons in IIS to do this. (No "Management Service" option under add / remove features of IIS)
Does this mean i can not deploy to Windows 7 IIS 7?
Or is there another way to enable remote connections, perhaps using powershell?
Any help is greatly appreciated
