please How can i deploy asp.net mvc 4 app to a client machine, i have installed local iis8 and ms deploy but still giving errors

Hi, i'm still a newbie in this technology (asp.net mvc 4). I'm practising with SharpDevelop IDE.....i think you can use xcopy to deploy it......i'll be back with some code.

Xcopy is a command-line way of doing a copy and paste of asp.net files from one point to another. The syntax is like this;

xcopy c: \MyWebsites\MyFolder y: \RemoteWebsite\RemoteFolder /f /e /k /h

this works for asp.net webforms so i believe it should also work for asp.net mvc since it uses System.Web.Mvc

however, you can as well go opensource, and use thee Unfold Project available at https://github.com/thomasvm/unfold

I hope that helps.....

heard of it for the first time, let me give it a try, thanks

Start your command prompt as an administrator and type
xcopy
it should work.

ASP again?

Interested in an asp.net mvc job? reply with your number so we can discuss.

Thanks man, xcopy is basically for copying got to know that, but my app was properly deployed at first. The issue came from iis configuration,

attached was the error message, and i saw the solution Here N/B not the answer with highest votes, but answer by Herb Endricott on the page solved mine..

now i get your question........your question is more of a server communication problem than a deployment issue; nice to see that its being resolved.

on it again, refusing to read from database in App Data folder, it deployed successfully, everything worked fine but would not read db on client machine.. dont know if its even detecting the db file et all!

Seriously, this is an experience, deploying to a local server is so different from deploying to Azure seriously... a bit pain in the neck

what database engine are you using SQL Server or SQL Compact edition??

Yes, its telling me "cannot open database "mydbname" requested by the login. the login failed. login failed for user "IIS APPPOOL\apppoolid" yet SSMS is not seing the db with so i can add a user login to the App Pool.. donnt know if there is another way of adding a user login for for database programmatically...

just make sure the SQL Server on your client machine is running, and that there is a good connection to the path of the database table, for example;
in your web.config, you set the appropriate database settings

<connectionStrings>
<addname="MyConnection"
connectionString="Data Source=(LocalDB)\v11.0;AttachDbFilename=|DataDirectory|\mydbname.mdf;Integrated Security=True"
providerName="System.Data.SqlClient"
</connectionStrings>

it should work.....

i got the solution right bro, it was a connection string problem, and it was resolved. Thanks basbone..

Happy to see that its resolved....
