Hi,

My EpiServer site is working well in Visual Studio but I tried to publish it on IIS but I get:

EpiServer 6.0 is installed on my computer.

Any help is appreciated.

Is ASP.NET registered with the IIS? http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/k6h9cz8h%28v=vs.100%29.aspx

Yes it is. Other c# sites are working.

Check if some of the config files are not transformed to something strange during publish, also check whether all necesary files are copied over to published location. Or "try to publish in IIS" means just bind the same directory to IIS site?

When you say "it works in Visual Studio", is that IIS Express or Cassini (the built-in webserver)? If it works in Cassini you need to change the configuration files to get it to work on IIS 7 and later.

Here is a blog post that tells you how to get the correct configuration files http://www.markeverard.com/2010/05/21/default-episerver-web-configs-for-iis6-and-iis7/.

Yes, I mean the site works when I run it in the built-in webserver in Visual Studio. I even tried to bind IIS to the same directory but what works through VS doesn't work through IIS 7.5 and the exception is the one I posted earlier.

I'll check the blog post you referred to.

Thx Johan and Valdis.
