Hi,
To publish an ASP.NET Core web service in IIS, I'm trying to get the steps sorted. I have it working on the development server and for testing I need to make that available on the same server. In Visual Studio it was running in IISExpress. During development
I was running the API in HTTPS under IISExpress.
Now I want to put it into IIS and I'm having trouble. I did a build release and published to a folder on the file system. I created the folder as E:\ACL\WebApi and that is where is published to. In that folder are 5 files.
This server is Windows 2016 and has IIS installed and it is up and running and has other web applications on it. When I applied that and went in to change the settings on IIS, each module I double click on, I get a dialog box up that says
There was an error while performing this operation
Details:
Filename:\\?\E:\ACL\ACLWebApi\web.config
Error:
I republished it in the same folder. I did everything it said. Clicking on any module gives me a read error on web.config. I've no doubt this is a permissions thing. Any ideas?
Try deploying a basic Core site that is not connected to a DB or service to make sure you have WebDeploy or whatever deployment process working.
This is what annoys me about MS documentation. What the above web site shows is not what I have. In Program.cs I have this:
public class Program
{
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
CreateWebHostBuilder(args).Build().Run();
}
public static IWebHostBuilder CreateWebHostBuilder(string[] args) =>
WebHost.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
.UseKestrel()
.UseContentRoot(System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory())
.UseIISIntegration()
.UseStartup<Startup>();
}
My config is the vanilla ASP core 2.1 created by the standard new project template. Or if, like me, you've been migrating from 2.0 to 2.1 preview to 2.1 rtm.
public static void Main(string[] args)
{
CreateWebHostBuilder(args).Build().Run();
}
public static IWebHostBuilder CreateWebHostBuilder(string[] args) =>
WebHost.CreateDefaultBuilder(args)
.UseStartup<Startup>();
}

I followed the deployment instructions from the ASP Core site, used WebDeploy and it just works.
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/aspnet/core/host-and-deploy/iis/?view=aspnetcore-2.1&tabs=aspnetcore2x
Try deploying a basic Core site that is not connected to a DB or service to make sure you have WebDeploy or whatever deployment process working.

.UseKestrel()
.UseContentRoot(System.IO.Directory.GetCurrentDirectory())
.UseIISIntegration()
As per the URL I posted to see if that worked.

Perhaps if you explain what you expect.
My config is the vanilla ASP core 2.1 created by the standard new project template. Or if, like me, you've been migrating from 2.0 to 2.1 preview to 2.1 rtm.
