How to publish a ASP.NET MVC 2 page in IIS 7?

Question

Hi all,

I have an ASP MVC 2 page that works perfectly using the development server that comes with visual studio 2010, but all my attempts to publish it in a server (windows 2008) resulted in fail so far. I googled it various times, but none of the tutorials solved my problem. There's some errors, not just one:

• When I run the silverlight test page (an asp page that comes with the project) the parser complains of my mvc include in web.config. Following a tutorial I transfered the dlls to the bin folder, which resulted in ... nothing.
• Anyway I try to run my MVC page, an error message comes to my screen.

What should I do to have this page working?

Answer 1

Hello,

When I tried to put my first website online I had the same problem. It runs perfectly on the test but not in IIS 7.

My mistake was that I forgot a \ at the and of the Physical path in IIS 7.

Don't know if you have the same problem, but you can check it.

The problem as that MVC was not installed, and it took me a while to figure out that it was necessary. Also, the person who deals with the IIS set the wrong folder to be a Web Application. Thanks anyway guys!
