Troubleshooting -
-----------------
1. The IIS site creation failed.
If the IIS site creation fails it is most likely because you are missing a system requirement on your machine. Recheck that you have installed all the needed prerequisite software. The IIS configuration utility is located in the "bin" directory of the application. Navigate to the install location and open the "bin" directory. Run the "MMM.Library.IISAppSetup.exe" to retry deploying the application to IIS. See the "IIS Application Setup Utility" section of this document for more details on this utility.
IIS Application Setup Utility -
-------------------------------
Usage:
MMM.Library.IISAppSetup.exe [-runmode=0] [-net=v4.0] [-mvc=4] [-vpath=Xyz] [-ppath=C:\Xyz]
Options:
-ppath Conditional Mandatory Absolute physical path where the application binaries are stored
-vpath Conditional Mandatory Virtual path relative to http://localhost/ Eg. Xyz will map to http://localhost/xyz
-net Optional .NET Framework version to be used. Eg. v3.5. Defaults to v4.0
-mvc Optional MVC Framework of the application. Eg. 4. Defaults to 4
-runmode Optional Specified the run mode for the utility. Eg. 1. Defaults to 0
0 - Configure application under IIS
1 - Check if IIS is installed
2 - Check if ASP.NET feature is installed in IIS
3 - Check if ASP.NET MVC is installed
4 - Check if SQL Server is installed
5 - Remove application from IIS
Remarks:
1. When running the utility in mode 0, physical path becomes a mandatory option
2. When running the utility in mode 5, virtual path becomes a mandatory option
Examples:
1. MMM.Library.IISAppSetup.exe -runmode=3
Only check if ASP.NET MVC is installed
2. MMM.Library.IISAppSetup.exe -vpath=ExpenseLogger -ppath=C:\inetpub\wwwroot\ExpenseLogger
Configure the application under IIS to be accessed at the virtual path ExpenseLogger i.e http://localhost/ExpenseLogger
This is the command that gets run at installation time.
