I am trying to do a web deploy of a MVC application. I added Copy files to remote machine, IIS management and IIS web deployment.
I need to deploy it to an application inside App pool.
Going through the video URL below
https://app.pluralsight.com/player?course=tfs-visual-studio-2015-implementing-continuous-delivery&author=marcel-devries&name=tfs-visual-studio-2015-implementing-continuous-delivery-m4&clip=4&mode=live.
The author ask's to specify the website name. In my case the website name is the application name in the app pool.
How do I specify the application name under an app pool in website name parameter of IIS management.
Based on your description the website name shoule be the application name, so just put the application name as the website name parameter.
Please read the Overview and parameters instruction for the WinRM - IIS Web App Management task . And this Deploy: IIS Web App Manage
Besides, you can also use the MSBuild with arguments to deploy the application, refer to below links to do that:

UPDATE:
If you already have a website and you want to deploy your Application under the website. Then you just need to use the IIS Web App Deploy step. The Web App Management step is not needed.
Just try websitename\appname as the Website name parameter in IIS Web App Deploy step. See Parameters for IIS Application configuration

I have created a web application using SQL Server as a database.
My client don't provide internet access to his employees.
So how can i deploy a MVC web application there so that it can be accessed by everyone which are connected to each other locally.
Publish your web application by right click on your application and select publish option to a local folder on your file system.
Provide published code to you client's IT group.
Put your database inside App_Data folder
If MVC framework is not installed on client server machine then you will have to request you client install MVC framework on server machine and then configure application on IIS.

How do I deploy MVC3 Hello World App to localhost and configure IIS
I have created an MVC application in Visual Studio 2013 and I now wish to deploy this on the IIS of the server so that all employees from within the company will be able to access it via their windows login credentials.
When I run this in localhost via Visual Studio debug it works as expected but I have been trying unsuccessfully to deploy this to a network server and I am unsure of the process and would be grateful for some clarification.
I chose a file system publish from the publish options but I am unsure as to how to get this accessible as an application. I have tried adding the files via the new website wizard and tried the url of 'holidays/' which I had entered but without success. I then tried to add the same virtual directory location as an application from within this website but again this was unsuccessful.
I use Web Deploy with VS. Your target server needs to also have Web Deploy:
Installing and Configuring Web Deploy on IIS 7
Once your target server is ready, you can deploy from VS. Here's a guide on doing that (you can jump right to "Publish to IIS" section if you like):
ASP.NET Web Deployment using Visual Studio
With Web Deploy, you can choose to publish directly or use a deployment package. Once you are happy the publishing works locally, you have a level of confidence your publishing will work in your Live environment.
I would suggest that before you publish direct to a live environment, that you test publish it to your local machine or a test environment that has the same IIS version, and .NET Framework installed.
Set-up
I have a website built in Visual Studio 2012 using MVC 4 and .NET framework 4.5.
It is being hosted on a Windows 2008 and running IIS7.
I am using a VS2012 "Web Deploy Package" to deploy to the server. I manually copy this to the server and run the install using the web deploy cmd script option /T and then /Y. It all installs fine to the Test folder.
On the Test website in IIS the application pool is pointing to the DefaultAppPool which is set for integrated and pointing to the .Net Framework v4.0.30319
I have created a new Web Site in IIS for the application called Test and defaulted the bindings for port 80 and stopped the default web site that is in IIS.
I've created a new foldeer called Test under wwwroot which is where the Web Deploy script is set to point to, when I created the script I add "Test" as the Site/Application
When I have created the web deploy package on my local machine I am manually copying the zip file and other deploy files (cmd,*.xml) to the remote server
I have run %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis.exe -i on the server and installed .net 4.5 framework and MVC framework components I could see in the Web Platform installer.
Problem
This website was previously being hosted on Windows Azure and have been able to direct publish to Azure and everything runs fine and when I go to any page it displays as expected.But on the new web server I get a 404 when I go to any page.
Everything seems to be installed as far as I can see on the web server. I was able to stop my website and re-start the default web site and add an index.htm file and that displays fine.
It almost seems like something in the MVC pipeline is not initialising. I'm using the standard Home controller with Index action that comes as part of the VS20102 MVC template as a test and that returns me a 404 when I go to /Home.
I've also tried other endpoints (I have WEB api rest endpoints off /API/* and these are returning 404 errors).
I'm just wondering if there is some basic set-up I've missed. It almost seems like some service is not running correctly and picking up the MVC website.
I am trying to deploy my ASP.NET MVC 3 application using Visual Studio 2010's "Publish Web" option (build/Publish App). This generates deployment/bin, deployment/scripts, deployment/views etc.
I loaded these resulting deployment files/folders to a web server running IIS 6. Afterwards, everything seemed to run just fine on this web server.
I then started to make new updates, just to my local environment. After doing that, the deployed version of the site stopped working. I looked at the stack trace and the web server seemed to be referencing controllers.cs from my local environment, as opposed to the dll's in the bin directory on the web server.
Is there something else I need to do before deployment to tell the web server to use it's own bin files as opposed to files on my development environment?
BTW both my development machine and the web server live on the same network.
Update:
Another thing that made me suspect that the web server was referencing my local dev environment was that when a new user tried to access the application she got an IOFileNotFoundException in regards to a reference to "Interop.ActiveDs.dll". The stack trace mentioned my_local_path/Interop.ActiveDs.dll. This file was in fact not on the web server so I added it and then her error went away. The Odd thing was that all other users before her did not recieve an error about this missing reference.
