Problems with Umbraco version 8.4.0 on Windows 2016 Standard Server - umbraco

I'm trying to install an Umbraco version 8.4.0 on Windows 2016 Standard Server.
The dev machine is Windows 10 Pro on which the installation works fine.
But when I deploy to the Windows 2016 Standard Server the pages loaded do not format well - the footer, header and other compositions setup in the back-end do render.
There are no 500 server errors or Javascript errors in console. I'm clueless about whats going wrong?
Has anyone installed Umbraco v8 on windows 2016 server, are there any special considerations for installing it?
Please could someone help me, I'm really stuck on it and not sure how to go and resolve it.

We gave "Network Service" permissions to modify the website folders. That fixed it, not sure though why because Umbraco was already running without the "Network services" in the permissions. It was only the new release of the website that got affected, the previous release had no issues without Network Services having these permissions.
If anyone get stuck with something like this should check the permissions for the website folders.

How to make BundleTransformer work on Windows Server Core

Ever since we found dotLess stopped working for us our ASP.NET MVC project has been using BundleTransformer for our LESS bundling and minification. We are trying to migrate our CI build agents to use Windows Server Core (headless) and away from Windows Server Standard. When we did this we started receiving Internal Server Errors when trying to hit our pages. This seems to be blowing up inside of BundleTransformer.
We initially were using BundleTransformer with http://www.nuget.org/packages/JavaScriptEngineSwitcher.Msie
From reading this post I thought maybe it was that we were missing the dependency on Internet Explorer.
http://bundletransformer.codeplex.com/discussions/454495
I tried to use the v8 engine switcher and started getting server errors on my Windows Standard setup.
http://www.nuget.org/packages/JavaScriptEngineSwitcher.V8
Has anyone successfully managed to get BundleTransformer working on a Windows Server Core environment? Anything would help. Thank you.
You have installed the Visual C++ Redistributable for Visual Studio 2012 before you install the JavaScriptEngineSwitcher.V8 package?
Give an example of the error message.

Hosting MVC application on linux server

I am developing an MVC 4 application on windows and that is to be hosted on Debian. I am a newbie to web development. I am using Mariadb in backend.
I don't know how to deploy this application. Can anybody provide help to me?
UPDATE
I am using Mono 3.2.3
There is no way to host a Microsoft asp.net mvc 4 Application on Linux UNLESS you use Mono (Never tried it but the honey is here ).
OR
If you don't want to buy mono,
Wait for vNext ! He Will be among us around April 2015 as Microsoft Announced at the DotNet-Conf.
MEANWHILE
you can download VisualStudio 2014 CTP and taste the golden kvm

I'm running 4 MVC4 sites on my Ubuntu 16.04 server and all I did was install a ftp server and I put all the sites in my user home dir under public_html (eg: public_html/site1 public_html/site2) then use the ftp publish method of visual studio which will build the site and copy everything over via ftp then you can just browse your site.

IIS displaying folder content list instead of running website (mvc application)

can anyone help me. (iis drives me crazy!!)
heres where im at. Ive setup a basic windows server on aws. I used web platform installer to install nopcommerce and dependencies. I first got a 403 error then enabled directory browsing. Now instead of running the site the web browser just displays a list of the contents of the root folder. just a directory listing, instead of starting the webpage.
Disable directory browsing and try.
I got it back up and running by reinstalling the .net framework. Not sure what went wrong but reinstalling seems to have fixed it.

Umbraco not showing up on domain - cPanel

I am currently trying to install umbraco to my web server running cpanel
it is uploaded to www.benhussenet.co.uk/build. but when I go to the domain it says 404 nothing found.
Can anyone tell me and help me how to fix this please?
Many Thanks
Ben
http://www.benhussenet.co.uk/build/default.aspx returns the code inside the ASP.NET page, which shows that you're on a server which doesn't have ASP.NET installed. This implies you're running on a *NIX webserver (which, Firebug'ing your site, it returns "Apache/2.2.14 (Unix)"). Umbraco is .NET and requires either a Windows web server, or a Linux server with Mono installed.
HTH,

Can you install Silverlight 3 Tools on Server 2008 (64bit)

I have been able to install 'VS2008 SP1' and 'VS2008 Tools for Silverlight' on my Windows Server 2008 development machine, but I have not been able to install the MSI for 'Silverlight Toolkit July 2009'. The install fails with the following:
"The system administrator has set policies to prevent this installation"
I am a local admin on the box. I have seen something similar when try to to 32-bit MSI on a 64-bit machine. Is that the problem that I am having?
I don't think that you need to install the SL toolkit on the server. At least, we haven't had to. We're using 64-bit Windows Server 2003, and any required Silverlight DLLs, etc., just get included in our .xap file, and get downloaded by the client when it downloads that file. All the server knows is that it's got to pass the .xap file down to a client when it requests it. The only thing that any server-side process might need to know about is the System.ServiceModel.PollingDuplex.dll (if you're using duplex WCF services), but if you simply install the SL 3.0 SDK on your dev machine, and then reference that DLL from your WCF project, it'll get included with your WCF project when you roll it out to the server in question.
The only reason you'd need to install those things on the server is if you're planning to do development on the server, which I suppose you might want to, but certainly isn't normal :-).
