ASP.NET MVC Deployment on IIS 6.0

Question

Hi everybody,

I'm just a beginner about ASP.NET MVC. Thought it doesn't have any problems in the developing time, I don't even know what to continue when I try to deploy. After deployment, I can only browse login page.

I'm using

• Windows Server 2003
• IIS 6.0
• Visual Studio 2008

Is there any step by step guide that will be suit for beginner like me? Anybody can show me any light upon it, please?

Answer 1

I don't think that you have any deployment issue. Take a look at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/14599/asp-net-model-view-controller-mvc-where-do-i-start-from

Answer 2

You will need to either map all requests through aspnet_isapi.dll, or use an extension on your URLs like ".mvc" for the routing to work properly through IIS 6. See here:

There are also a bunch of questions on SO covering this, so this question is probably a dupe.

Answer 3

IIS6 will not natively support the MVC routing architecture. Phil Haack has a good article about getting this up and running:
