Question

I have a ASP.Net MVC 2 web site, which can be visited by http://localhost/Admin/ContentMgr/ in ASP.Net Development Server from Visual Studio 2010(RTM Retail).

When I try to deploy the site to Windows 2008 R2 , IIS 7.5 , the url always return 404.

First, my application pool is running on .Net 4.0, and Integration mode.
Second, my IIS do have “HTTP ERROR” and “HTTP Redirection” features on

And this is my web.config.

ASP.net MVC 2 is not included in .net 4. You have two options:

1. Deploy the System.Web.Mvc.dll file into the /bin folder of your app
2. Install ASP.net MVC 2 in the server following this cryptic procedure
