WWWROOT in MVC5 - asp.net-mvc

How to achieve same behavior in ASP.NET MVC5 with static files like it works on aspnet-core with app.UseDefaultFiles(); app.UseStaticFiles();?
I mean serving static files from some folder over root, e.g. /wwwroot/some.html must be opened on mysite.com/some.html, /wwwroot/img/test.jpg on mysite.com/img/test.jpg etc.
Update: I have created wwwroot folder and added following rule to web.config:
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Rewrite Static" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^(?!(wwwroot/|api/))(.*)$" ignoreCase="true"></match>
<action type="Rewrite" url="/wwwroot/{R:1}" />
</rule>
</rules>
So IIS must return files from wwwroot except when calls go to /api/something, but I'm always getting index.html in wwwroot folder and never other files. Api's URL works good.
What I'm doing wrong?

All works in that way:
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Rewrite Static" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^((?!(wwwroot\/|api\/))(.*))$" ignoreCase="true"></match>
<action type="Rewrite" url="/wwwroot/{R:1}" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
<handlers>
<remove name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0" />
<remove name="OPTIONSVerbHandler" />
<remove name="TRACEVerbHandler" />
<remove name="StaticFile"/>
<add
name="StaticFile"
path="*" verb="*"
modules="StaticFileModule,DefaultDocumentModule,DirectoryListingModule"
resourceType="Either"
requireAccess="Read" />
<add name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0" path="*." verb="*" type="System.Web.Handlers.TransferRequestHandler" preCondition="integratedMode,runtimeVersionv4.0"/>
</handlers>
<staticContent>
<mimeMap fileExtension=".*" mimeType="application/octet-stream" />
</staticContent>
<modules>
<remove name="TelemetryCorrelationHttpModule" />
<add name="TelemetryCorrelationHttpModule" type="Microsoft.AspNet.TelemetryCorrelation.TelemetryCorrelationHttpModule, Microsoft.AspNet.TelemetryCorrelation" preCondition="integratedMode,managedHandler" />
</modules>
</system.webServer>
Don't forget to install rewrite module.

Url Rewrite from mysite.com/home/ to mysite.com/ in asp.net core

My rewrite rule in web.config properly redirects from "example.com/home" to "example.com/", but fails to redirect from "example.com/home/" (the only difference being the forward slash in the latter). I'd like to know how to get the second example to work. My web.config:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="mysite.com/home or mysite.com/home/ to mysite.com/" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)\/?\bhome\/?\b$" />
<action type="Redirect" url="/" redirectType="Permanent"/>
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
<handlers>
<add name="aspNetCore" path="*" verb="*" modules="AspNetCoreModule" resourceType="Unspecified"/>
</handlers>
<aspNetCore processPath="%LAUNCHER_PATH%" arguments="%LAUNCHER_ARGS%" stdoutLogEnabled="false" stdoutLogFile=".\logs\stdout" forwardWindowsAuthToken="false"/>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>

Can't load Rails application on IIS

I have spent the past few hours trying to deploy my Ruby on Rails app to my Windows Server 2008 R2 vps running IIS 7.5.
I thought it was going well up till the point I got this error when trying to access the site via my browser.
Error Helicon Zoo module has caught up an error.
Please see the details below.
Windows error The system cannot find the path specified. (ERROR CODE: 3)
Internal module error message:
Can't CreateDirectory '' file type: ZooException file: Common\WinApi.cpp
line: 253 version: 3.1.98.538
The log file it's self is even less helpfull:
[13.02.2016 02:47:48.751921] [v 3.1.98.538] [tid 0x000100d4] [sev 2] # 26373856 Application has been started

The path of the CreateDirectory bit seems strange to me but can't figure out where it's coming from.
The site runs fine on my local machine, but my local machine is on Fedora so doesn't use web.config files. Unfortunately I'm stuck with my Windows server for the time being so Linux hosting isn't an option at the moment.

Up to this point
Reset website (Multiple times)
Ran deploy.rb (Multiple times)
Played with folder permissions. Even at one point allowing special access to everyone, don't worry I've retracted that now.
Refreshed App pool.
I've search through Google but can't seem to find anything. Does anyone here have any suggestions?
The error can actually be seen here at the moment. https://bonniechef.com/
Hopefully not for much longer...
Sorry Doug, I can no longer provide support for this Web Platform Installer-based version of Zoo as I am working on a new standalone version and these versions have completely different configuration and processing logic. This new version is almost finished and I am finalizing installations and deployment of the whole system, however, I work on this project alone now and support for older products and other issues eats up most of my time. Still considering making it open source, but arranging a good open source project will require even more time and commitment. I expect to make a release within a month. This new version will be supported and actually will be much easier to maintain and more transparent as we will control most aspects of the product.
Sorry for the inconvenience.

Remove section in web.config file in debug mode

I have an asp.net application, which must run under SSL, and it has some rewrite rules defined in web.config to accomplish this.
<!--file web.config -->
....
</system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules configSource="webrewrite.config" />
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
<!--file web.config -->
<rules>
....
<rule name="HTTP to HTTPS redirect" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="(.*)" />
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="off" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://{HTTP_HOST}/{R:1}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
....
</rules>
However, in development mode (with local web server or IIS Express) I don't want to use SSL.
So I would like to be able to use web.config transformations to remove one or more rewrite rules (but not all)
If you want to remove the Entire Section for your Dev Configuration use
<system.webServer>
<rewrite xdt:Transform="Remove" >
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
I solved the problem, by using Remove transform, as shown below
<configuration xmlns:xdt="http://schemas.microsoft.com/XML-Document-Transform">
....
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="RulaNameToRemove"
xdt:Transform="Remove"
xdt:Locator="Match(name)" >
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
Please write below code web.Debug and web.Release config file. Web.Debug will delete rewrite rules and web.Release insert rewrite rules.
Web.Debug.config
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="RulaNameToRemove"
xdt:Transform="Remove"
xdt:Locator="Match(name)" >
</rule>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
Web.Release.config
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<clear />
<rule name="Redirect to https" stopProcessing="true" xdt:Transform="Insert">
<match url=".*"/>
<conditions>
<add input="{HTTPS}" pattern="off" ignoreCase="true"/>
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="https://{SERVER_NAME}" redirectType="Permanent"/>
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
You can move release settings to web.config.release file

Add Child Section to Web.config.release

In Web.config I have the system.webServer section:
<system.webServer>
<!-- Config Child Sections -->
</system.webServer>
In Web.config.release I need to add a new child section to system.webServer so I used:
<system.webServer>
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Enforce WWW" stopProcessing="true">
<match url=".*" />
<conditions>
<add input="{CACHE_URL}" pattern="^(.+)://(?!www)(.*)" />
</conditions>
<action type="Redirect" url="{C:1}://www.{C:2}" redirectType="Permanent" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
</system.webServer>
When I build it in release the rewrite section is not added.
How can I do this?
Thank You,
Miguel
You need to add xdt:Transfor="Replace" to your tag:
<system.webServer xdt:Transform="Replace">
Without this the transformer don't know what to do with the tag. For more info please see: http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/deployment/visual-studio-web-deployment/web-config-transformations
****EDIT********
Then you could try:
<rewrite xdt:Transform="Insert">

Deployment silex: white page

I want to put my first silex project online on a webhost.
Currently the only thing I can see is a white page, and it takes a while before my browser actually finds the page.
My webhost: www.mijnhostingpartner.nl
My current structure:
/root/data
/root/logs
/root/wwwroot
/root/wwwroot/app
/root/wwwroot/src
/root/wwwroot/vendor
/root/wwwroot/web
My web.config:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<configuration>
<system.webServer>
<directoryBrowse enabled="false" />
<rewrite>
<rules>
<rule name="Silex Front Controller" stopProcessing="true">
<match url="^(.*)$" ignoreCase="false" />
<conditions logicalGrouping="MatchAll">
<add input="{REQUEST_FILENAME}" matchType="IsFile" ignoreCase="false" negate="true" />
</conditions>
<action type="Rewrite" url="index.php" appendQueryString="true" />
</rule>
</rules>
</rewrite>
<defaultDocument>
<files>
<clear />
<add value="Default.html" />
<add value="Default.htm" />
<add value="Default.asp" />
<add value="index.htm" />
<add value="Default.aspx" />
<add value="index.html" />
<add value="index.php" />
<add value="index.asp" />
</files>
</defaultDocument>
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
My index.php:
I found out that the "Require_once" did not work.
Only until echo('test1') works.
"test2" is not shown on the screen.
<?php
// PHP 5.4's built in server can now server static files
// #see http://silex.sensiolabs.org/doc/web_servers.html#php-5-4
$filename = __DIR__ . preg_replace('#(\?.*)$#', '', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
if (php_sapi_name() === 'cli-server' && is_file($filename)) {
return false;
}
echo('test1');
// Require the app and run it
require_once __DIR__ . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . '..' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'app' . DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR . 'app.php';
echo('test2');
$app->run();
If you get a blank page, check your webserver's error logs. Then enable error_reporting in php.ini if possible. And for silex, make sure you are calling $app->run() in the front controller.
(the latter does not seem to be the issue in your case)
