ASP.NET MVC Why doesn't my routing work after publish?

Question

Hi,

i've got the following routeMaps setup for my website. Running and debugging locally works perfectly. I can publish the website to my server (www) but only the root page works (http://www.domain.com). As soon as I specify a controller (http://www.domain.com/Project) it stops working...

What am i doing wrong?

Answer 1

Are you deploying to an IIS6 server? If so there are some steps you need to take detailed here. If not, can you explain the error a little more - what exactly does "it stops working..." mean?

Answer 2

Are you deploying to IIS5? If so follow this.
