ASP.NET MVC on IIS 7.5

Question

I'm running Windows 7 Ultimate (64 bit) using Visual Studio 2010 RC. I recently decided to have VS run/debug my apps on IIS rather than the dev server that comes with it.

However, every time I try to run an MVC app, I get the following error:

HTTP Error 403.14 - Forbidden The Web server is configured to not list the contents of this directory. Detailed

Error Information

Module DirectoryListingModule

Notification ExecuteRequestHandler

Handler StaticFile Error

Code 0x00000000 Requested

URL http://localhost:80/mySite/

Physical Path C:\myProject\mySite\

Logon Method Anonymous Logon

User Anonymous

I placed a default.aspx file in the directory and I received the following error:

HTTP Error 500.21 - Internal Server Error Handler "PageHandlerFactory-Integrated" has a bad module "ManagedPipelineHandler" in its module list

Are there any other steps I forgot to take to get this working?

Notes: I installed IIS 7.5 after installing VS 2010 RC. I used the built-in "Create Virtual Directory" button under the "Web" tab in the MVC project's "Properties" in Visual Studio 2010. I made sure that the application is using the ASP.NET 4 App Pool.

Below are the installed features of IIS I have.

I was also receiving this error and discovered that "HTTP Redirection" was not turned on in Windows Server. This blog post points this out as well: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/rjacobs/archive/2010/06/30/system-web-routing-routetable-not-working-with-iis.aspx

As strange as it may seem, reinstalling IIS was what has worked for me, with the following command run from inside the .net version folder:

aspnet_regiis.exe /i

When I first run this command, I begun getting the HTTP Error 403.14. But once I runned the command again it solved the problem.

Obs: Another thing I also did was to remove HTTP Redirect from the server features in Server Management screen before reiinstalling IIS. Maybe this also had an impact in solving the problem, but I am not sure. So, if reinstalling IIS still doesn't work, please try removing HTTP Redirect and try again. Hopefully it may work for you too.

To solve this problem without having to resort to 32 bit mode you will have to update the source code for this project

public static void RegisterUrlRoutesFromAttributes(RouteCollection routes)
{
    // Enumerate assembly for UrlRoute attributes.
    List<MapRouteParams> routeParams = new List<MapRouteParams>();
    AppDomain.CurrentDomain.GetAssemblies()
        .ToList()
        .ForEach(assembly => routeParams.AddRange(GetRouteParamsFromAttributes(assembly)));

I have raised this issue as a discussion on the discussion board at the IT cloud codeplex project.

Answer 4

Also if your app is precompiled you should have

PrecompiledApp.config

in the root folder of your app otherwise you could get HTTP Error 403.14 as well.

Answer 5

You can solve this error by running cmd as admin than

Do the same as in picture for windows 32 bit

Just make changes in 64 bit as framework64 instead of framework only Than go to iis and refresh the site
If u still got some error make changes in application pool

Answer 6

This worked for me and it might be useful to another one.

Maybe all components required are not present or/and not all are registered correctly. In order to solve this, try to uncheck all options inside Control Panel -> Turn Windows features on or off -> Internet Information Services -> World Wide Web Services -> Application Development Features, uncheck all options and recheck all then reset the IIS and check if the problem is solved.
