After install in Control Panel it will looks like below image:
Install it on the IIS server.
Check IIS Configuration:
Open IIS Manager (run inetmgr).
Ensure Application Pools have the required .NET CLR version for your app.
2. Publish the ASP.NET Core MVC Application
Open Your Project in Visual Studio:
Go to Build > Publish {YourAppName}.
Configure Publish Settings:
Choose Folder as the publish target.
Set a publish folder (e.g., C:\inetpub\wwwroot\YourApp) or (You can choose your path.).
Configure other settings like release mode (preferably Release) and click Finish.
Publish the Application:
Click Publish. The application files will be generated in the specified folder.
3. Configure IIS
Create a New Application Pool:
Open IIS Manager.
Under Application Pools, click Add Application Pool.
Name it (e.g., YourAppPool), set the .NET CLR version, and click OK.
Add a Website:
Right-click Sites in IIS Manager and select Add Website.
Enter:
Site name: YourApp
Physical path: The folder where you published the app (e.g., C:\inetpub\wwwroot\YourApp).
Binding: Set the hostname, IP, and port (default: 80).
Assign the new site to the Application Pool created earlier.
Click OK.
4. Configure Permissions
Set Folder Permissions:
Right-click the published folder (C:\inetpub\wwwroot\YourApp), select Properties.
Go to the Security tab, and ensure IIS_IUSRS has read and execute permissions.
Enable Static Content (if needed):
Go to Control Panel > Programs > Turn Windows features on or off.
Under IIS > World Wide Web Services > Common HTTP Features, ensure Static Content is enabled.
5. Database Configuration in appsettings.json
"ConnectionStrings": {
"DefaultConnection": "Data Source=localhost;Initial Catalog=CrudCoreDb;Integrated Security=False;TrustServerCertificate=True;User ID=sa;Password=admin@123"
},
6. Test the Application
Restart IIS:
Run iisreset in the command prompt.
Access the Website:
Open a browser and navigate to http://localhost or the hostname/IP you configured.
7. Troubleshooting and Fine-Tuning
Enable Detailed Errors:
Go to the site in IIS Manager.
Select Error Pages, then Edit Feature Settings, and enable Detailed Errors.
Enable HTTPS (optional):
Bind an SSL certificate in Bindings for secure access.
Check Logs:
Check the Event Viewer or IIS logs (%SystemDrive%\inetpub\logs\LogFiles) for errors.
Firewall Settings:
Ensure the server firewall allows traffic on the application’s port (e.g., 80 for HTTP or 443 for HTTPS).
With these steps, your ASP.NET MVC application should be successfully deployed in IIS and accessible.
