403 Forbidden when Deploying asp.net 4.0 site to IIS 7
- by Jordan
So I have an EC2 instance running, the URL
NoWeatherSurprises.com
I have the DNS pointing there, and I set up a new site in IIS 7 and pointed it to a folder. I used Visual Studios Web Developer 2010 express to publish to this folder. It now has the binaries and such.
However if I go to NoWeatherSurprises.com I get the welcome to IIS 7 screen.
I'd expect to go to my application
If I navigate to http://noweathersurprises.com/weather/ [weather was the folder I published to under wwwroot]
I get a 403 forbidden. I have no idea why, I am guessing that it is trying to do a directory listing or something instead of launching my MVC Application.
So 2 problems in summary.
It is not pointing the domain to the folder directly and I need to add /weather
I am getting a 403 forbidden instead of the results of my home controller with the index action.
I am new to IIS 7, I had been using IIS 6 and had a lot less trouble setting it up, but I suspect that's my own fault and i am just missing something.
Thanks in advance for any help
