I have my MVC 5 application that I create in VS 2013. Now I'm trying to deploy this application and I have a question: Can I deploy MVC 5 on the server with 4.0 .Net Framework?
I just create Deploy Package and I have tried to import this package in IIS. It says "Import success", but when I try to "Browse" Web Site It says:
HTTP Error 403.14 - Forbidden
The Web server is configured to not list the contents of this directory.
I just checked Directory Browsing and it's Enabled in IIS
Nope, ASP.NET MVC 5 requires .NET 4.5 at least. Directory browsing is not the problem, don't turn it on. Check the Event Viewer for errors.
I can't link to any official source for this statement but you only get ASP.NET MVC 4 project template when you switch to .NET 4.0.
I tried it and got this error:
Install-Package : Could not install package 'Microsoft.AspNet.Razor 3.0.0'. You are trying to install this package into a project that targets '.NETFramework,Version=v4.0', but the package does not contain any assembly references or content files that are compatible with that framework. For more information, contact the package author.
So due to the transitive dependency on Razor 3+, it isn't available for .NET 4 via NuGet.
