Question

using VS 2008 i created a clean asp.net MVC application project and changed nothing ,
on my computer all works fine.after i uploaded to the server i’m facing a problem.

the LogOn.aspx page code is from the VS2008 mvc applocation template with no modification ,

Log On

Log On

Please enter your username and password. <%= Html.ActionLink(“Register”, “Register”) %> if you don’t have an account.

<%= Html.ValidationSummary(“Login was unsuccessful. Please correct the errors and try again.”) %>

<% using (Html.BeginForm()) { %>
    <div>
        <fieldset>
            <legend>Account Information</legend>
            <p>
                <label for="username">Username:</label>
                <%= Html.TextBox("username") %>
                <%= Html.ValidationMessage("username") %>
            </p>
            <p>
                <label for="password">Password:</label>
                <%= Html.Password("password") %>
                <%= Html.ValidationMessage("password") %>
            </p>
            <p>
                <%= Html.CheckBox("rememberMe") %> <label class="inline" for="rememberMe">Remember me?</label>
            </p>
            <p>
                <input type="submit" value="Log On" />
            </p>
        </fieldset>
    </div>
<% } %>

and its working on my local asp.net Dev server and also on a GoDaddy Server, but when i moved it to a new web server it not functioning correctly.

when i submit the LogOn page , a simple
page on my local machine all working fine and i and i get :

but when test the production server the page is not being submitted and the AccountController LogOn method is never invoked.

[AcceptVerbs(HttpVerbs.Post)]
public ActionResult LogOn(string userName, string password, bool rememberMe, string returnUrl)

    {

        if (!ValidateLogOn(userName, password))
        {
            return View();
        }

        FormsAuth.SignIn(userName, rememberMe);
        if (!String.IsNullOrEmpty(returnUrl))
        {
            return Redirect(returnUrl);
        }
        else
        {
            return RedirectToAction("Index", "Home");
        }
    }

instead the AccountController LogOn GET method is invoked

public ActionResult LogOn()
    {

        return View();
    }

Just a quick check but has the live server got the .mvc extension registered against ISAPI?
