I just made my first MVC3 app, and I thought it would be fun to upload it to my web hotell. So I did a publish locally in visual studio and then transfered the published files to them over ftp. They have support for MVC3, so there shouldn’t be any problems there. But what I get when I try to go the the page I get an 403 – Forbidden: Access is denied
Please help, I’ve tried to add the:
<authorization>
<allow users="*"/>
<deny users="?"/>
</authorization>
Thank you!
This looks like some misconfiguration of the application in IIS. Try setting the application pool to run in Integrated Mode (vs Classic Mode). Also try bin deploying in case your hosting provider doesn’t have MVC 3 installed on the server.
Remark: you absolutely don’t need the
<authorization>tags in your web.config. That’s no longer used in MVC. Authorization in ASP.NET MVC is handled by decorating your controllers/actions with the[Authorize]attribute.
