My.NET 4.7 MVC 5 project website displays its file listing, but it should show the home page of the project

Question

Hi, I am not sure what could cause my website to display the projects file listing instead of the intended home page?

During the upgrade, here are some packages I had to install :

PM> NuGet\Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc -Version 5.3.0 

***PM> Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.WebHost ***

PM> Install-Package -Id  Microsoft.AspNet.WebHelpers

I also had to make changes to my web.config and my view/web.config versions.

Thanks for any advice or suggestions

Hi @iqworks Information Quality Works

You should have encountered this problem when deploying a website at IIS.

Let me talk about three solutions:

1.You didn't select the right path when adding the site at IIS. In fact, you should choose your project directly.

For example:

When you select a folder for a project instead of selecting a project directly:

That will bring up the table of contents:

If you do this, it will work fine:

2. Configure web.config:

<system.webServer>  <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true" />  </system.webServer>

3.Enter commands in the console:

C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319
aspnet_regiis.exe -i
iisreset /stop
iisreset /stop

Best regards,

Qi You
