In VS2008, when checking the local server option in the web tab in the project window, the error message reads:
To access local IIS Web sites, you must install the following IIS components:
IIS 6 Metabase and IIS 6 Configuration Compatibilty
ASP.NET
Windows Authentication
In addition you must run Visual Studio in the context of an administrator account
The iis6 metabase, windows authentication and asp.net features are already installed. Also running VS as administrator. Using iis7, vs2008 32bit, vista ultimate 64 bit.
I tried installing the other iis6 features (scripts, console) and got an error got a useless message that told me nothing, but eventually found out that Vista doesn't support iis6.
Right now, am trying to uninstall the iis6 metabase and install it again.
Any ideas? Thanks.
Found the problem - had to start the web management service.
The Web Management Service enables remote and delegated management capabilities for administrators to manage for the Web server, sites and applications present on this machine.

I have an ASP.Net web application developed in Visual Studio 2008 (.Net 3.5). I have copied this solution to another root folder (both on my Win7 64b machine) and upgraded the copy to VS2013 (Professional) and .Net451, but when I try to debug the web app in VS2013 I get an Access Denied error ("Unauthorized: Logon failed due to server configuration. Verify that you have permission to view this directory or page based on the credentials you supplied and the authentication methods enabled on the Web server"). I don't have this issue runing the original from VS2008 on the same machine.
Apart from the changes mentioned above the two are a straight code copy.
In VS2008 the project Web properties are: Use Visual Studio Development Server, auto-assign port, Virtual path = /
In VS2013 the project Web properties are: Server=IIS Express, Project URL=http://localhost:63064/ (and I have clicked on Create Virtual Directory)
I can see this must be some sort of security issue, but what extra needs to be done to get a VS2008 web app, upgraded to VS2013, to run within the VS2013 IDE?
Postscript: If I start the web app without debugging (ctrl-F5) I get "HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable."
It turns out that the simple solution is configure the web app properties in VS2013 to use the local webserver (IIS) instead of IISExpress, and also to run VS2013 as administrator (but this is not necessary for VS2008). So obviously it is an IIS permissions thing but IIS is common and hasn't been changed - so what has changed in VS2013 to make this necessary? I don't really want to run VS2013 as administrator if I can avoid that.
I have seen this asked here before, but none of the other posts solved my issue, so here goes nothing.
We are attempting to use Web Deploy on IIS to automatically deploy our application to a test environment. The idea, besides bettering our deployment process, is to allow Jenkins to deploy our application to IIS and run a few automated tests.
For this we are attempting to use MSBuild along with a deployment profile on our web app. The IIS lies on a Win8 virtual machine, where we try to run MSBuild and it fails because the Web Management Service is not up, and it doesn't show anywhere on the IIS management software.
I have the Web Deploy feature installed, as I have seen from Web Platform Installer, but the Web Management Service icon is nowhere to be found. I have found and started the service manually on the Windows Services configuration, but that doesn't seem to have helped either.
A few other observations:
"IIS: Management Services" item doesn't seem to show up on my Web Platform Installer;
I tried changing my installation (under Windows' Add an remove programs) to include web management, id didn't help
I enabled IIS' Web Management on Windows' "Add and remove features" settings. Also nothing shows up on my manager.
My Windows language is set to Portuguese. I may have missed the config due to bad translation, but that's unlikely.
So, how do I get the service to run so I can configure it on my IIS and finally deploy my application?
Client OSs doesn't come with Web Management Service. You cannot set up remote publishing using Web Deploy for a site that is hosted in IIS on Windows 8.0 or 8.1. You need server OS for same.
I have a WCF Rest Server hosted in an ASP.net Application. It was set up using the simple RouteTable setup in global.asax. ON my development machine with IIS 7, it works perfectly, but when I deployed to A windows Server 2008 machine with similar IIS settings, it does not work, I get a 404 error when my ajax methods tries to access the service. I was wondering if WCF is able to be hosted like I have on my development machine on an actual production server? If so what must I do to get it to work.
turns out from careful googling it turned out to be a missing attribute on system.webserver modules section: runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"

In my case, it was even more simple!
The symptom was that all POST requests returned 404s.
I'd only just enabled IIS (via Programs and Features -> Turn Windows features on and off) on a new Dev machine that already had Visual Studio fully installed.
I had to enable .NET 4.5 for IIS (via C:\\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis.exe -i) and then all was well.
It's confusing, because I had already set the IIS App Pool to run under .NET Framework v4.0.30319. There was no warning that I had to separately run regiis.
Howcome I deploy my intranet ASP.NET MVC project?
What I've got so far:
project itself;
several client machines connected in a workgroup and server;
IIS Express 7.5, SQL Server 2008 R2 Express installed on a server.
It should be mentioned that though it's odd and unusual but server is just a machine without (even) server OS installed. Please note that it's not mine idea and is the environment I've got at the moment
I've read the instruction http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg703322(VS.98).aspx but it describes situation when you have Web Developer installed on the same machine.
Please help!
And Thanks!
This is the 100% manual approach, you might be able to access the remote web server via VS if authorization/permissions is lined up properly (much simpler, basically you just hit deploy):
Install IIS
Install .NET Framework 4
Install MVC
Register ASP.NET with IIS (just to be safe run it again)
Create Website via IIS Management Console (use a new directory for the website)
Put your files inside the new directory
Make sure permissions are setup properly
That's it
I'm deploying an ASP.NET application to Windows Server 2003 under IIS
IIS is serving html pages fine but I get a page not found when I try and serve IIS pages
You may need to "register" IIS for ASP.NET applications. As an administrator, run the command "%systemroot%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis -i". In addition, you may need to convert your web site to an application through the IIS management console.
By default, IIS has ASP support disabled in IIS6.
A server running a member of the Microsoft® Windows® Server 2003 family supports application server functionality, with Microsoft ASP.NET as an option that you can enable when configuring the application server role. To deploy ASP.NET Web applications to a production server, you must be sure to enable the ASP.NET and Internet Information Services (IIS) roles on the production server before you distribute the application.
See here for instructions to enable it:
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer2003/Library/IIS/9fc367dd-5830-4ba3-a3c9-f84aa08edffa.mspx?mfr=true
Other possible reason could be Web Service Extensions, where ASP.NET version could have been disabled. My other post here explains steps to solve this.
Make sure the right .NET framework is installed properly
Make sure the ASP.NET extension is enabled
Under website properties, ASP.NET tab, make sure the right version is set.
After having this same issue and trying all of the above without any luck. We reinstalled SP2 for Windows 2003 and this resolved our issue. I too have seen this problem resolved a few times with the other answers. Most of the time just reinstalling .Net 2.0 resolves the issue but not this time.
For future reference, this could also be the issue:
IIS on a Windows Server 64-bit can only to run in either 32 or 64 bit mode.
In short you need to:
1) run adsutil.vbs to enable 32 bit asp.net apps on win 64
2) re-register IIS calling aspnet_regiis.exe
3) re-open IIS Manager, go into Web service extension list and ensure ASP.Net version {2/4.xxx} (32-bit) is set to Allowed
(You might need to do Steps 2 and 3 for both Framework 2.0 and 4.0 if you want to run asp.net apps on both versions)
Full details are in the following link: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894435
Another future reference in case this is helpful to anyone who used a similar path to mine.
My back end for the ASP.NET app was MySql not Sql Server, which for me meant having a mysql connector, the reason my IIS was not serving the .aspx file is because on my development environment I was using a different version of the MySql connector than the one installed on my production environment, I updated the MySql connector on the production server to match the version Im using on the development environment and it worked great.
