Cannot host ASP.NET MVC application in IIS - asp.net-mvc

I have created a virtual directory on the IIS (IIS 5.1 that's what i'm using). when i try t o run the applciation from my browser using the URL
http://localhost/sitename .
i'm able to see the initial landing page . But when i force a controller action call like this .
http://localhost/controllername/actionMethodName
i receive the 404(file not found error). But when i'm running the application from the asp.net development server (intergrated with VS ) everyhting works fine.
what may be the reason. i have set impersonate in web.config and enabled anonymous access in the IIS .
any thoughts/ suggestions
thanks,
vijay

Have you tried http://localhost/sitename/controllername/action?

asp.net mvc app in windows 2003 server extension less runs only home page

I've setup an asp.net mvc app on a windows server 2003 machine with IIS6. ASP.NET MVC3 and .NET4 framework has been installed.
Now, I setup a New Website, New AppPool for .NET4 and then put a virtual directory under there with my asp.net mvc3/razor app. So:
IIS
+NewSite <<I set home directory to MyApp
++MyApp/ <<virtual dir
Here is the annoying bit, when I navigate to the address http://<MyServerIp>/ the home page for my app loads up. But, all other links/urls fail and give me a 404.
Like if I click Log On. The URL <myServerIp>/Account/LogOn gives a 404. Similarly all other urls other than the home page give me a 404.
I've gone through as many related questions on SO. I've gone through Phil Haacks article. I've setup a wildcard mapping for .net4.
Any ideas?
Make sure that .NET 4.0 is enabled in the web service extensions folder in IIS manager console:
Also make sure that ASP.NET is properly registered with IIS:
c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis.exe -i

MVC site deployed to IIS 7 Homepage work All other page 404

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?

ASP.NET MVC and host problems

Hi,
I have done the following :
Start Visual Studio 2010
New Project > ASP.NET MVC
Default ASP.NET MVC project generated by VS2010
Add a couple off simple buttons on the first page
Start local IIS manager, Create a web application and point it to the ASP.NET MVC project
Set correct right on the ASP.NET MVC project folder(to the user running the thread pool in IIS7)
Browse site (http://localhost/MyTestSight/) and the first page is shown
Upload site to www.test.figurspel.net
Host sets the site to be runned on .NET 4.0
Browse www.test.figurspel.net and the site is not working?
The host has checked that tha Active Server Page is set to allow
Host has installed up to MVC 3
I could turn on the Browsable to see the file structure but this will not help to get the site running.
How do I get this asp.NET MVC web site running?
BestRegards
Is the application pool running in integrated mode the IIS site running under that application pool?
It's my understanding that if this isn't the case, the MVC site will not run.
Alternatively, have you tried this?
+1 Unicorn power HooooooO!!!!! Also I've always when hosting a site published the project to a different folder then setup the site via IIS from that folder hope this helps.

How can I use my local iis and mvc to work together?

I have started a new mvc project and clicked on project\properties\web - use local IIS server (mine is 5.1). I've created a virtual directory all ok.
When I run I get a 403 error - in url http://localhost/myProjectName/
I have set IIS to windows integrated security and set web.config to windows.
My ultimate goal is to use mixed windows and forms authentication for an intranet app.
I appreciate any help.
I don't believe this will work off the bat for IIS 5.1. By default, MVC controllers/pages don't have extensions, and so IIS doesn't know who to forward the request to during the request pipeline.
In IIS 6.0, you can set a IIS wildcard mapping forward all unknown files to the ASP.NET engine. For 5.1, you'll probably have to configure MapRoutes so that your urls include the mvc extension:
http://localhost/myproject/home.mvc
It can work. Solution is not elegant but it does exist.
Take a look at my article IIS vs. ASP.NET URL Rewriting

ASP.NET MVC running IIS7 deployment problem

I am having trouble deploying an ASP.NET MVC app to IIS7.
I have an MVC project created with ASP.NET MVC Beta 1. It consists of nothing more than the default template unmodified.
The app runs just fine within VS2008, but when I publish it to a local IIS7 website (http://localhost), I get the following server error:
The incoming request does not match any route
I have also tried unsuccessfully to access http://localhost/Home/About (a route to a specific page within the template). This returns a 404 error.
I have recreated the website in IIS several times and ensured the pipeline mode is set to integrated. My IIS7 server is running on my Vista Home Premium machine.
I am assuming this is an IIS configuration issue any suggestions as to configuration issues with ASP.NET MVC apps would be appreciated.
Any thoughts?

This solved all my problems.
Does IIS run ok with the default IIS7 site?
Are you receiving any Event Viewer messages?
Is IIS in Integrated Mode? If it's not, you'll have to do some setup or change it to Integration Mode
Please make sure that you are running under IIS 7.0 Integrated mode. If you need to run it under IIS 7.0 Classic mode, you need to perform several actions to make the routes work. Please refer the following blog posts;
