Publishing to IIS

[sgdunker]

Ok this has been frustrating. I can build the project and run it locally from VS, but when I try and publish the project to my IIS server I am getting an error saying there is no default document. Looking at the directory I don't see a default.aspx, so how do I configure the site to load the page I see when I run from VS?

The EmbedSample app is an ASP.NET MVC project. There isn't a default.aspx. Instead there are routes registered in the RouteConfig.cs file.

Running the app at the root should default to the Index action within the DashboardController

Ensure your IIS server has at least .NET 4.5 installed and that all of the dependent Nuget packages are being deployed along with the application.

Ok I didn't realize the server didn't have .Net 4.5 installed. I have added that and now I am getting the page to render however now the layout is all messed up. I assume it is a stylesheet issue or maybe the nugget packages. What packages should be installed? I leveraged a web package deployment model to install it.

Does it render correctly if you run it locally? You are likely just missing some of the JS/CSS resources. Try running fiddler and see if there are any 404 requests. If so ensure they are included in the deployment.

Figured it out, the CSS and Images are absolute references not relative references. I moved the app to a root site and it works. Thanks,
