I have a simple app that was created using MVC4 and Internet Application template. I excluded the followings and deployed to a IIS7 server.
/App_Start/AuthConfig.cs
/Controllers/AccountController.cs
all views under /Views/Account/
AuthConfig.RegisterAuth() in Global.asax.cs
When the app starts with //HostingIIS/MyApp/, it always routes to AccountController's login(string returnUrl) with URL as //HostingIIS/MyApp/Account/Login?returnUrl=... with 404 error.
If I modify the URL and remove /Account/Login? and hit enter, the app will route to Home/Index correctly. This problem doesn't occur on Visual Studio Development Server on my machine.
Does anyone know what might cause the problem? Is it something on the hosting IIS?
I would guess that it's the set in the redirectUrl in your forms authentication in the web.config.
Presumably you're already authenticated locally?
If you delete all your local cookies do you see the same behaviour locally?

I'm trying to deploy a MVC 3 site to IIS 7.5. The deafult route works but all links return a 404 error including if I manually enter the link for the homepage.
Details:
MVC 3 to IIS 7.5
Windows Server 2008 R2
MVC 3 is installed on server
Default Web Site/PaedPhysiotherapy_Uat
.net 4 is installed
DeafultApplicationPool used
App pool is .net4 and running in integrated mode
Custom error are turned off
If I deploy to a new website on the same IIS box using different ports, e.g. "http://newsite:81 which not under the default website everything works fine.
Even in the absence of routing, IIS will redirect requests for "/" to "/Default.aspx". In an MVC app, there's a Default.aspx which manually finds the MVC handler and invokes it. So that's probably why your home link works.
Your other pages must go through routing. In integrated mode there must be an IIS handler for this. Check the ExtensionlessUrlHandler in the IIS handler mappings. Compare that and other handlers with the sites which work.
At a guess, if this works when deploying to the root of a site then it looks like an absolute path has sneaked in. Perhaps somewhere this is a missing ~ in front of a path e.g.
/MyController
instead of
~/MyController
Also, you did remember to convert /PaedPhysiotherapy_Uat to an application?
I just moved my site to my server which is windows 2003 sp2, sql 2005.
I have a mvc site running on my server (althought i have it turned off) it works fine but my new site does not work correctly
For some reason the routing fails to work on my server. I can hit the homepage fine using the domain but clicking on any link(or typing it in) results in simply a page not found issue!
"The page cannot be found
The page you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable."
MVC doesn't play so well with IIS6 out of the box. Have you configured a handler for either .mvc or a wildcard handler?
You need to make your MVC assemblies bin deployable: http://www.britishdeveloper.co.uk/2010/05/mvc2-deploy-could-not-load-file-or.html
I am trying an sample application in Asp.Net MVC 2 Application
given in http://www.codeproject.com/KB/aspnet/aspnet_mvc_tutorial.aspx
But i am getting the error as below
Server Error in '/' Application.
The resource cannot be found.
Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.
Requested URL: /Views/PersonalInformation/Index.aspx
Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.3053; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.3053
Please let mw know wat is the problem
The problem is the requested url. In an ASP.NET MVC application, the url corresponds to a controller action instead of the aspx page. See this link for an explanation: http://www.asp.net/LEARN/mvc/tutorial-02-cs.aspx.
The url should be something like http://localhost:xxxx/PersonalInformation (where xxxx is your port number)
To avoid getting this error everytime you start up your website through Visual Studio. Go to the properties of your web project and under the Web tab there is a property called Start URL. Change this to http://localhost:xxxx/ or something that is a valid MVC route.
Are you deploying to Cassini or IIS 6. Take a look at these articles
http://guyellisrocks.com/coding/deployed-asp-net-mvc-app-gives-404-on-about-page/
http://www.techdreams.org/microsoft/aspnet/how-to-fix-404-errors-of-aspnet-mvc-website-deployed-on-iis-6-windows-server-2003/2572-20090515
MVC runs fine in Cassini but requires some config modifications to run in IIS. I am still evaluating it in Cassini so i havent crossed that bridge yet but this info should help.
I am suddenly getting a Windows Security dialog when requesting:
http://mydomain/Reports/
This happens after I have moved an ASP.NET MVC application from Server 2008 to Server 2008 R2.
This page (like others) are access controlled using Windows Form authentication. The other pages work correctly, just this page is giving me hassles - and only on this server.
Even signing in with my domain credentials fails; after the third failed login a blank page appears.
I have disabled Windows Authentication in IIS and enable Form Authentication.
The request executes:
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
The index.aspx page associated to his page contains static HTML.
Any ideas what might be causing this?
Update to comments and questions:
Site (mydomain) is running as a web site on its own.
SSRS is installed on the machine but not part of this web site.
Changing the controller name to ReportController instead of ReportsController causes it to work. Something is processing Reports first, where can I find it? I don't see any Reports folder or web sites on the server...
When upgrading sql server, often it adds a virtual directory or virtual application in iis called Reports and ReportManager. Just went through this, so it's worth checking out.
Check the permissions on the folder or file, they are probably not set correctly so IIS is trying to get a valid set of credentials to continue.
Also, is that Reports folder running, say, SSRS?
I am trying to deploy my MVC app on a subdomain, unfortunately I get 404 errors.
I tried to find out if it's MVC itself that can't handle being hosted on a subdomain.
I uploaded the standard bare MVC webapp that you get when you start a new project. The index page loads, but all the other pages that require actual routing based on the url do all give 404's.
What do I need to change to be able to use MVC on a subdomain.
(it's all setup on a IIS 7.5 server as a seperate website)
I had this problem with a shared hosting provider. I had to get them to change the Application Pool to "Integrated Mode" instead of "Classic" mode in iis7 for it to work. Not sure why, haven't really looked into IIS7 that much
Is this a shared host where the subdomain is resolved via URL rewriting to point to a sub folder?
MVC doesn't care what the domain name is. I've used it with a couple different subdomains, but they were not on the type of host that would be rewritting to a sub folder.
