ASP.net MVC deployment to IIS7

Question

I'm trying to deploy a MVC application to a news Server, I have .net framework 4 and ASP.net MVC2 installed. My app pool is assigned to .net 4, integrated mode. But for some reason, the routing is not happening properly. I am getting a 404 error on links and not properly routed to the controller. What am i missing here? Is it might be order of installation of .net framework and IIS?

Answer 1

Your app is probably compiled against .Net Framework Version 2.0. Change your app pool to 2.0 and see if it helps.

Answer 2

So, if you got a 404 error that is because the global.asax is not being executed. Check out if the IIS is configured to "Check if the Directory/File exists", cause the IIS is default configured to check first if the request exists on the server ... MVC doesn't use the 'real' path, per say.

Hope it helps ;)

EDIT Try to log something at the time the routing is working ... I mean when the Route inside the global asax is called and check out if the mapping is called...

Try this :

<system.webServer>
    <validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" />
    <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true" />
</system.webServer>

Or try to debug routing
