I am trying to learn how to publish an asp.net MVC application to discount asp.net I am trying to publish the NerdDinner demo (from the asp.net MVC people) to learn the process. I Have, in the past worked with asp.net 2.0 and windows 2003/iis 6. Here I am trying to publish with Visual Studio 2008 (asp.net MVC web application) to IIS 7. I am currently getting the common "Server Error in '/' Application. I have read the forum and realize that this error can be caused by LOTS of different things. From past work, and from the error messages, I believe that my problem is due to the directory structure I have on the dasp site. I am using www.xxxxxxx/NerdDinner (as a subject directory within my site). I am not sure what the Virtual Directory is, but I think this is the problem, Is it new with IIS7 or did I not configure something correctly in the web.config file so that it understands my released directory structure? For the upload I did a standard Visual Studios 2008 publish all files. I have done some reading about publishing asp.net MVC web applications and I know that there are some files that I need to get from my bin.....I think these are there, but I am not totally sure...... I have set the ConnectionStrings.config file in the dasp site to work with published databases. Could someone point me to a good documentation on how to publish asp.net MVC applications. I have found some examples, but nothing great. Also, any help on what I am currently doing wrong would be very appreciated. ========================================================== Here is the error I am getting: Server Error in '/' Application.

Hi, This will no doubt come in handy: http://www.codethinked.com/post/2009/04/13/5-Blogs-ASPNET-MVC-Developers-Should-Be-Following.aspx Salute, Mark
Did you set the subdirectory you uploaded your application as an application directory. Log into your discountasp hosting control panel and go to Web Application Tool.
Thanks to both of you....I was following some of the MVC columns (now and then) but not all of them...I will do this. now.. And.... I had not set the web application on the directory....I did this and the application is now running !!!!!!! thank you.
