I’m new to both ASP.net and AppHarbor. I also have never deployed an ASP.net application before.

I’ve set up an MVC4 website using the Visual Studio 2012 release candidate and it is near completion. Locally, it is working fine / as expected.

To send the client a current progress demo, I’ve been advised that I should use AppHarbor to host the application / website.

I’ve gone through the process of setting up a Git repository and connecting that with AppHarbor. I then used the Build -> Publish Selection option in Visual Studio to create a ‘Web Deploy Package’ within my local copy of the repository. Finally, I pushed the files (shown below) that were created to the repository and AppHarbor listed the commit as ‘Active’.

    You shouldn’t use the Web Publish stuff when you want to deploy to AppHarbor. AppHarbor takes your source code straight up, builds it, tests it and deploys it.

    Here’s a guide on deploying your first app on AppHarbor using Git. There’s also a video on the AppHarbor front page that you can check out.
