How To Publish .NET MVC Application To A Free Host
Feb 18, 2011
I'm building an ASP.NET MVC application and I'm trying to deploy it on a free host (0000free) which does support ASP.NET. I tried a couple of things, but none of them worked (i.e. I only see the directory structure when I browse to my web site):
Publishing to a local folder and then copying the published files via ftp over to my host (in the public_html directory).
Publishing via ftp to the root folder: ftp.mywebsite.com
Publishing via ftp to the public_html folder: ftp.mywebsite.com/public_html
Usually I would just drop the html files in the public_html folder, but I'm getting the feeling that the deployment process for an MVC application is slightly different. Do I have to modify the Web.config or some other filer? How does one usually deploy an MVC application (on a free host)?
Update:I have learned that the host uses Mono and supports .NET 4.0, but I'm still not able to deploy.
I have Visual Studio 2010 and I used its Publish Feature (i.e. right click on the project name and click publish) and I tried several things:
Publish method: FTP to the root folder.
Publish method: FTP to the publich_html folder.
Publish method: File System to the root folder.
Publish method: File System to the publich_html folder.
Publish method: File System to a local directory on my computer and then FTP to root and also tried the public_html folder.
I went into the cPanel (control panel) to try and see if ASP.NET has to be added/enabled for my web site, but I didn't see anything there.I can't browse to Index.aspx nor can I redirect to it from index.html (as suggested from other posts on the host forum), right now I have a link from index.html to Index.aspx but it's not working either (see http://www.mydevarmy.com)I've also tried renaming Index.aspx to Default.aspx, but that doesn't work either.
The search utility of the forum of the host is somewhat weak, so I use google to search their forum: http://www.google.com/search?q=publish+asp.net+site%3A0000free.com%2Fforum%2F&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
I've been reading Pro ASP.NET MVC Framework and they have a chapter about publishing, but it doesn't provide any specific information with respect to the location of publishing, this is all they say (and it's not very helpful in my case):
Where Should I Put My Application?You can deploy your application to any folder on the server. When IIS first installs, it automatically creates a folder for a web site called Default Web Site at c:Inetpubwwwroot, but you shouldn't feel any obligation to put your application files there. It's very common to host applications on a different physical drive from the operating system (e.g., in e:websites example.com). It's entirely up to you, and may be influenced by concerns such as how you plan to back up the server.
Here is the error I get when I try to view my Index.aspx page:Unrecognized attribute 'targetFramework'. (/home/devarmy/public_html/Web.config line 1)
Description: HTTP 500. Error processing request.
Stack Trace:System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: Unrecognized attribute 'targetFramework'. (/home/devarmy/public_html/Web.config line 1)

I have set up a development server (Win Server 2003) with IIS 6.0. I have the .NET Framework 2.0 and 4.0 installed. My web host (where my app will run) has .NET 3.5. Will it work for me to set up my development server with 4.0 in IIS, and then create a new website in Visual Studio (2010) that targets the .NET 3.5 framework (aimed at my development server)? want to be able to publish the site to my web host (with .NET 3.5).

We have a virtual server hosted to the third party which we access through remote desktop. We have Sql server 2008 on Windows 2008. I created a website on my local hard drive and now we are ready to deploy. My question is what are the recommendations for publishing websites? What steps I need to take care of? Is it possible not to deploy the "code-behind" files. Incase of hacking of windows server, I do not want somebody to see my .vb files or Is it possbile that I can convert the whole thing except aspx files in to a strong dll?

I'm using Visual Studio (VS) Professional Edition 2010 and IIS 7. I'd like to publish a wpf application for download from a website. But for some reason, when I go to Build > Publish in VS, select a publishing location, select that users will install the application from a website, and then try to browse to a URL on my machine, VS gives me an error message saying:
To access local IIS Web sites, you must install the following IIS components:
IIS 6 Metabase and IIS 6 Configuration Compatibility ASP.NET
I'm not really sure why this is happening. I'm running IIS 7 on my computer, and it was my understanding that Metabase has been rendered obsolete in the latest version of IIS..

I am new to asp.net mvc and don't feel too comfortable to diving 100% into silverlight web application. I done some research and found that asp.net mvc can host silverlight application. That is great new since I want to leverage new technologies.
However, silverlight currently does not support printing and SSRS reporting. My question, can asp.net mvc hosts multiple applications like both silverlight and regular asp.net applications. I can design the asp.net application to handle the reporting and printing.

Just like I do when, in VS2010, I right click the project, click Publish and set the folder to which it should be published.
How can I do this?
Basically I am trying to create a Console Application that publishes an MVC Application and copies some other folders to a Release Folder.

I had first build an database and populated it with various information, set some properties related to FTS and other things.
Now, in the asp.net MVC application, I am able to add the database ServerExplorer->Connect To Database-> Data Source= MS SQL SERVER->Server name->OpAmp-pc. Now, I was unable to add the database by copying the file in app data folder.
My doubt it how can I share the website+ database with my fellow batchmate or put the whole website online.
Build->Publish Sirte, didn't solved the pupose.

I have published an asp.net application to a sub directory of my IIS application. I know that the web.config must exist at the root for several of the properties to work. So I have moved my web.config to the root of the application. I get the following error:
Could not load type 'ProjectName.myTypeName'.
I suspect that not having the web.config in the same directory as this aspx file is causing the issue. How do I config this so that my web.config can live in the root while the aspx file lives where I need it to?

I am currently in a dev only phase of development, and am using the VS built-in web server, configured for a fixed port number. I am using the following code, in my MembershipService class, to build an email body with a confirmation link, but obviously this must change when I deploy to our prod host.[URL]How can I build this URL to always reflect the host that the code is running on, e.g. when deployed to prod the URL should be http://our-live-domain.com/Account/..etc.MORE INFO: This URL will is included in an email to a new user busy registering an account, so I cannot use a relative URL.
