MVC 5.2.3.0 Project built in MonoDevelop 404 Server Error in '/directory' Application. The resource cannot be found

Question

I built a MVC 5.2.3.0 application:

The Local Dev environment consist of

My OS is Linux Mint 17.1 - 64 bit My IDE is Mono develop 5.7 My development / Debug environment is the the built in xsp4 server that you can install with mono.

My Test Web Server

Windows Vista SP2 32 Bit IIS 7 .NET Framework version: 4.0.30319.34209 (32-bit)

My problem

When I debug in MonoDevelop the application runs fine But when I bin deploy it to my web server I get a error HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.

I been through the file structure over and over and I don't understand what I am missing.

Does any one here have idea. Thank you in advance

Answer 1

To be clear, you should not, in anyway, need Mono installed on the web server. I won't go into the specifics of why, but I'm sure you can research that.

The issue you are likely facing is one of Assembly bindings. If you could post your web.config, specifically the assembly bindings section that may help. However, I would look and make sure that they are all pointing to the correct versions.

Also, you could try enabling the fusionlog to give you a better idea of what library it thinks is missing.
