Mojo Site In IIS 7.5

Hi:

If I create a site in Visual Studio 2010 and copy the contents to a virtual directory in IIS 7.5, the site runs fine from any of the computers on my network. Yet, when I do the same thing with the mojoPortal source, the site will not run.  The site returns a 404.  Shouldn't it just compile like any other 4.0 .ASP.NET application upon the first request?  I tried every application pool. All my sites work except the mojoPortal site Frown.

Re: Mojo Site In IIS 7.5

Hi:

 

I wanted to add this: If I copy the mojoPortal source that was installed through the Web Platform Installer to another Virtual Directory I create, then the site works.

Re: Mojo Site In IIS 7.5

mojoPortal is a web applicaiton project not a web site project. As such all of the C# source code gets compiled into dlls in the bin folder and we don't deploy the source code to production. There is still some compiling done by the ASP.NET compiler because the .aspx files and .ascx files are like partial classes, but the rest of the code is/must be pre-compiled by visual studio before deployment.

See the article Packaging and Deployment

Hope that helps,

Joe

The Web Platform installer does not install the source code it installs the pre-compiled deployment package.

Re: Mojo Site In IIS 7.5

Hi:

What I don't understand is if I copy the same code that was installed with the Web Platform Installer to a different Virtual Directory, the site works. It's the same code, just a different directory. The site will not run if I try to access it in the original directory it was installed to.
