Application cant be found by IIS!

Question

HI there, I have a problem with my MVC 2 ASP.NET running on IIS 7.5

  Server Error in Application "ORDERS"Internet Information Services 7.5
    Error Summary
    HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found
    The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Detailed Error Information
    Module IIS Web Core 
    Notification MapRequestHandler 
    Handler StaticFile 
    Error Code 0x80070002 
    Requested URL http://localhost:8080/home 
    Physical Path C:\Ordering\home 
    Logon Method Anonymous 
    Logon User Anonymous 

I published it locally and then copied the files to the server and dropped them to c:\Ordering. When I try to run localhost:8080/home it cant be found!!

EDIT:

I have since found that this is a redirect issue - something isnt kicking in to redirect to /Home or /Account/LogOn

heres the web.config if it helps:

Any help appreciated!

You should verify that you have the virtual derictory "home" in IIS manager with port 8080 which point to the C:\Ordering\home directory. If it is not yet exist - create it and convert it in the application (see context menu).

Verify that IIS_IUSRS group (or an account under which runs the application pool) has access to the directory C:\Ordering\home.
