Hey everyone and thanks for taking the time to help.
I am stuck on this problem. I have an asp.MVC application and my client want to use nopCommerce for the shopping cart. I made a test MVC application and got the sub-application working great on a simple demo. The nopCommerce virtual directory is registered as an application in IIS and it runs fine in the demo. However when I try integrating the steps into my application I get a run-time compilation error:
CS0246: The type or namespace name 'Combres' could not be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)
Line 56: <add namespace="System.Web.WebPages" />
Line 57: <add namespace="System.Web.Helpers" />
Line 58: <add namespace="Combres" /> <-----Error Line
Line 59: </namespaces>
Line 60: </pages>
The sub-application (nopCommerce) does not use Combres so I thought it was an inheritance issue so I did the location trick in the parent Web.Config file:
<location path="." inheritInChildApplications="false">
<system.web>
...
</system.web>
</location>
This got rid of the compilation error, but now there is no compilation of the file, the .aspx files just download to my computer instead of being executed. The main MVC application still runs great, I only get this downloading issue when I try to run the nopCommerce application. I am completely stumped, I am kind-of an IIS noob and am having to learn quick.
K found the answer to this. My companies platform, we use ASP.net MVC, was turning all requests with file.* into download requests. So what I wrote was working great, it was doing what is was supposed to...I just didn't know.

So I'm trying to use MiniProfiler (https://github.com/MiniProfiler/dotnet) for WebForms website. What I did is:
install package using nuget
add MiniProfiler initialization in Global.asax.cs (Begin_request and End_request events)
add <%= StackExchange.Profiling.MiniProfiler.RenderIncludes() %> statement
set at web.comfig
And still MiniProfiler doesn't work. Simple troubleshooting shows that (in Chrome dev tools) on that page I expect to see MiniProfiler, I see
http://localhost/mycoolsite/mini-profiler-resources/results 404.0 - Not Found
More info: I use .Net FW 4.5.1, IIS8 and Intergated Mode (app pool)
Any Ideas what may be useful for me?
I've (very!) recently blogged about this, specifically the process of getting MiniProfiler working in a hybrid WebForms/MVC application.
Based on the steps that you've outlined that you carried out, it looks like you're missing (as compared to what I've got):
<%= StackExchange.Profiling.ClientTimingHelper.InitScript %>
That said, even without that line I still see server side timings and the MiniProfiler UI so I suspect that your web.config entry was/is incorrect.
Check to make sure that you've put this in configuration > system.webServer > handlers within your web.config:
<add name="MiniProfiler" path="mini-profiler-resources/*" verb="*" type="System.Web.Routing.UrlRoutingModule" resourceType="Unspecified" preCondition="integratedMode" />
There are a couple of other things that you can check as well:
Does the page that you're viewing live in a sub-folder that has a web.config either in it, or in a folder between it and the one where you added the handlers entry which <clear />s handlers?
Do you have anything else present in your application that could be capturing the request for MiniProfiler resources and returning a 404?
I have two web services, of old school, asmx. Both is in the same sub folder, which have anonymous authentication, in a MVC web application that have windows authentication.
When I browse one of them I get expected result, I can Invoke the service, but when I browse the other I get "HTTP Error 401.2 - Unauthorized You are not authorized to view this page due to invalid authentication headers.".
I then rename the second one and everything works fine. Even if I remove the second asmx file I get Unauthorized, instead of "Resource not found".
I have searched the registry and the file system for references to the file name, but find nothing. I deleted ASP.NET Temporary Files, but that did not help.
Any trouble shooting suggestions?
This was not easy to find, but in inetpub\temp\appPools\ there was a folder named as the application pool. In that folder there is "copy" of parts of the IIS config.
At some point we must have accidentally marked the actual asmx file, instead of the folder when we changed autentication. So it contained a special configuration section for just the file. Like:
<location path="Web/Services/ServiceName.asmx">
<system.webServer>
<security>
<authentication>
<anonymousAuthentication enabled="false" />
</authentication>
</security>
</system.webServer>
</location>
When we removed that section it worked again :)
I have googled for the past 3 hours and found nothing on what to do with respect to the windows azure problem:
You do not have permission to view this directory or page.
I did a git master push to azure and the deployment was successful. I also turned on the failed request tracing but nothing shows up but the above statement.
Any ideas on how to troubleshoot this?
I just tested that if you don't deploy your main node.js file as server.js you will get this error because the web.config is specifically looking for server.js as below:
<handlers>
<add name="iisnode" path="server.js" verb="*" modules="iisnode"/>
</handlers>
To further troubleshot this issue you can access the website over FTP as described here.
AvkashChauhan's answer did lead me in the right direction but I also had to add proper rewriting rules. Here is my complete web.config
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation batch="false" />
</system.web>
<system.webServer>
<handlers>
<add name="iisnode" path="server.js" verb="*" modules="iisnode" />
</handlers>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="myapp">
<match url="/*" />
<action type="Rewrite" url="server.js" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
I hit this error too. I am using MVC and the reason for the error was that on my layout page I had a call to an action that isn't accessible to anonymous users:
#Html.Action("GetMenu", "Users")
For information, I register a AuthorizeAttribute() global filter in Application_Start and my Login action is decorated with AllowAnonymous:
[HttpPost]
[AllowAnonymous]
[ValidateAntiForgeryToken]
public ActionResult Login(LoginModel model, string returnUrl)
{
My website did work previously on IIS7, but Azure is less forgiving. I fixed the problem by adding a check like this:
#if (User.Identity.IsAuthenticated)
{
#Html.Action("GetMenu", "Users")
}
The azure tools have changed a lot since this question.
I recommend people using the azure-cli. But funny enough I actually don't use it after I have used it once to create a site.
What I use now is just the ability to push (git) directly to a remote that is named azure, and the cli is setting that up for you.
But if you don't want to install the cli you can essentially just add the remote repo (your site) manually, like this:
git remote add azure https://<site-or-appservice-name>.scm.azurewebsites.net/<site-or-appservice-name>.git
As you would with every other git remote.
Not specific to node.js but updating in case it helps others facing this issue for a regular web application. This can also happen if the index.html file is not present or is not found because it is in a sub-directory
I just came across this issue and in my case it was the ipSecurity configuration that was causing the issue. Just hd to go and change the allowUnlisted to true.
<security>
<ipSecurity allowUnlisted="false">
</security>
Simple configuration, in the azure portal go to your
web app ->
All settings ->
application settings,
under default documents add the specific name of your document which you want to view, wait for it to update, then refresh your azure link.
I had the same error message after a git push from a local repository.
Solved it by opening the Azure dashboard:
Web app / App deployment / deployment source
and selecting local git repository as deployment source
You need to move your server.js file to your root app folder.
Lots of answers, but I didn't see one that addressed the "how do I debug this?" question, which wasn't obvious to me as someone who is new to Azure and hadn't yet used Kudu diagnostics.
To see the debugging info you're looking for, just navigate to
mywebsite.scm.azurewebsites.net
when you encounter the "You do not have permission to view this directory or page." error on your own
mywebsite.azurewebsites.net
page. This will get you to the Kudu console and give you easy access to everything currently in your logs.

I am tackling ASP.NET, MVC 3, web development, for the first time, all at the same time. Please bear with me, as I know this subject has been discussed heavily from different angles. I still have not found the answer to my specific question: Why doesn't my application find my Error.cshtml file when a 404 occurs, when it finds it just fine with other errors?
(Environment: Win 7 64bit, IIS7, SQL 2008 Express, VS2010, ASP.NET 4, MVC3, EF v4)
I have a controller, WorkerController.cs, that correctly reads and writes from the database. If I change the database name without updating my DbContext, it gives me an error. When I change web.config to always show custom errors, shows me the /Views/Shared/Error.cshtml file.
I do not have a FooController.cs file. If I go to /Foo, I get a 404 error, as expected. It tells me it cannot find the resource /Foo.
When I set customErrors mode="On" and make an http request to /Foo, I get a 404 error saying that /Error.cshtml cannot be found.
I am searching for and reading the posts that discuss the various methods of handling errors with designated controllers, but I really want to know what I'm missing. Why does it find /Error.cshtml for other errors, but not the 404 error?
Other than setting customErrors="On", have you defined a specific redirect for 404 errors?
If you have, say, an ErrorController setup your web.config, for instance, like:
<customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="/error/Problem">
<error statusCode="404" redirect="error/FileNotFound"/>
</customErrors>
Or of you'd prefer static html pages for your errors:
<customErrors mode="On" defaultRedirect="Problem.html">
<error statusCode="404" redirect="FileNotFound.html"/>
</customErrors>
You might want to take a look at this other question for some more information:
ASP.NET MVC HandleError.
For improved error handling in MVC, though, you could also take a look at ELMAH (Error Logging Modules and Handlers):
You can (should)! get ELMAH as a NuGet package; the installer will do most of the setup for you
Take a look at Scott Hanselman's "introductory" post
Check this question/ansers on how to use it with ASP.NET MVC: How to get ELMAH to work with ASP.NET MVC [HandleError] attribute?
I have the following method in my unit test project:
[TestMethod]
[HostType("ASP.NET")]
[UrlToTest("http://localhost:3418/Web/SysCoord/ChooseEPA.aspx")]
[AspNetDevelopmentServerHost("%PathToWebRoot%")]
public void TestMethod1()
{
Page page = TestContext.RequestedPage;
Assert.IsTrue(false, "Test ran, at least.");
}
I'm getting this exception:
The test adapter 'WebHostAdapter' threw an exception while running test 'TestMethod1'. The web site could not be configured correctly; getting ASP.NET process information failed. Requesting 'http://localhost:3418/SysCoord/VSEnterpriseHelper.axd' returned an error: The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.
The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.
The page works as it should in a browser at the url: http://localhost:3418/Web/SysCoord/ChooseEPA.aspx.
This physical path is: C:\ESI\HR_Connect2\BenefitChangeSystem\Application_DEV\Web\SysCoord.
Any ideas would be appreciated.
Update 1
Added the following to my web.config file per this article. Also made the web.config writable and killed/restarted the development web server. No change in behavior.
<location path="VSEnterpriseHelper.axd">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="*"/>
</authorization>
</system.web>
</location>
Update 2
Changing the AspNetDevelopmentServerHost attribute to the equivalent of [AspNetDevelopmentServerHost("%PathToWebRoot%\solutionfolder\webfolder", "/webfolder")] resolved the 404 problem.
Unfortunately the test began to return a 500 error instead. Progress, but not much. Trial and error with a clean project led to the conclusion that references to custom classes in the of the web.config were causing the problem.
For example:
<profile enabled="true" defaultProvider="MyProfileProvider">
<providers>
<add name="MyProfileProvider" connectionStringName="ProfileConnectionString" applicationName="/MyApp" type="System.Web.Profile.SqlProfileProvider"/>
</providers>
<properties>
<add name="Theme" type="String" defaultValue="Default"/>
<add name="LastLogon" type="DateTime"/>
<add name="LastLogonIp" type="String"/>
<!--
<add name="EmployeeSearchCriteria" type="MyApplicationFramework.Profile.EmployeeSearchCriteria"/>
<add name="DocumentSearchCriteria" type="MyApplicationFramework.Profile.DocumentSearchCriteria"/>
-->
</properties>
</profile>
With the criteria types above commented out the test ran fine. With them uncommented, the 500 error was returned.
Anyone had a similar problem in the past?
I've had this problem before and at that point gave up after reading all I could google about it (including this thread).
The solution turned out to be simple in my case. All I had to do was not use ASP.NET test attributes and simply test the MVC project as a DLL.
Step 1
Remove the extra attributes from the test.
[TestMethod]
public void TestMethod1()
{
Page page = TestContext.RequestedPage;
Assert.IsTrue(false, "Test ran, at least.");
}
Step 2
In Code Coverage, uncheck the MVC Project and add the MVC Project's DLL manually.
Voila, it get instrumented as a normal assembly, no errors, doesn't spin up the Development Server, also doesn't fail the Team Build.
I found that using vs2010 I am not restricted to just 4.0 applications. I DID however find that if testing a web application and you are using the old System.Web.Extensions version redirect you may get an error. Removing the following section from the Web.config file fixed my issue:
<runtime>
<assemblyBinding xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:asm.v1" appliesTo="v2.0.50727">
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="System.Web.Extensions" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35"/>
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0-1.1.0.0" newVersion="3.5.0.0"/>
</dependentAssembly>
<dependentAssembly>
<assemblyIdentity name="System.Web.Extensions.Design" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35"/>
<bindingRedirect oldVersion="1.0.0.0-1.1.0.0" newVersion="3.5.0.0"/>
</dependentAssembly>
</assemblyBinding>
</runtime>
Good luck.
I was getting the same problem as you, however my experience was a little different.
I am on vista x64, my developers are in xp x64...they haven't been having any issues at all. I just upgraded and could not run any unit test for a asp.net MVC project. I was receiving the same 500 error you were receiving.
I turned off code coverage, everything magically started working.
Based on your evidence I would guess that a reference to whichever assembly contains MyApplicationFramework.Profile.EmployeeSearchCriteria is missing from either the unit test project or the web project - though I would really think that you would only require the reference in the web project but I'm not knowledgeable about how the VS web server behaves when used as part of a unit test.
I ran into a similar issue testing a webservice where the project is .NET 3.51. I was getting a IIS 500 error.
I removed the old assembly bindinds as commented by Hal Diggs and it worked.
I setup a default unit test which popped up with the error, that brought me here. I just removed the following (below). Then clicked debug current context and boom, fine :S.
[HostType("ASP.NET")]
[AspNetDevelopmentServerHost("C:\\Inetpub\\....]
I got the same error message while unit testing a web app with Visual Studio 2010. The only difference is that i was using IIS, ie i ommited the [AspNetDevelopmentServerHost("%PathToWebRoot%")] directive.
I suspect the problem lies in the fact that i was using IIS version 5.1. More here:
http://ibsta.blogspot.com/2011/01/unit-testing-fun-under-visual-studio.html
I have faced same problem with unit testing.
And found the problem reason and also solve it.
The problem is only with access rights for the directory.
In my case I have installed VSTS on the different drive(d) then default.
So only to give the full access rights to the user PCNAME\ASPNET for whole directory \Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0.
I m using the windows XP but if u are using window server then give access rights to the user NetworkServices.
By this solution i have solved my problem.
Hope u find something useful from this Answer.
Thanks,

Comment out the whole bit of web.config like this
<!-- <location path="VSEnterpriseHelper.axd">
<system.web>
<authorization>
<allow users="?" />
</authorization>
</system.web> </location> -->
It worked for me
Make sure your web application is targeted to Framework 4.0. If you are trying to test a
2.0, 3.0 or 3.5 project, you will get the (500) Internal Server Error.
I experienced the same problem. Then I checked the properties of both the web project and the unit test project. And found that target framework was set different from each other. I set the target framework of both the project to .Net framework 4 (in my case). Finally ran the test method again and it worked.
Thanks.
For me it was Resharper that caused this problem. Once I suspended it (Tools -> Options -> Resharper -> General -> Suspend) everything worked.
(using VS2010SP1 and Resharper Ultimate 2016.1.2)
