TeamCity Deploy Build Output

Question

I'm currently setting up CI for my project and have team city configure and running my builds (and tests etc). However, what I can't seem to figure out is how to get it to actually deploy the build to my web-server. I'm using the sln2008 runner if that help.

Thanks

TeamCity doesn't support any deployment by itself. You can do it from a dependent build or as a part of your main build. There is a related issue that you can Watch/Vote: TW-3746.

You can configure a web deploy step:

IIS configuration

• Follow the steps on this tutorial to configure the Web Deployment Handler on IIS: http://learn.iis.net/page.aspx/516/configure-the-web-deployment-handler/ (the database part could be ignore)

TeamCity configuration

• Add a new step:
• Field "Runner type" select "MSBuild"
• Field "Build file path" type the path to the web project. eg.:SRC\MyWebSite\MyWebSite.csproj
• Field "Command line parameteres" type "/P:Configuration=%env.Configuration% /P:DeployOnBuild=True /P:DeployTarget=MSDeployPublish /P:MsDeployServiceUrl=https://%env.TargetServer%/MsDeploy.axd /P:AllowUntrustedCertificate=True /P:MSDeployPublishMethod=WMSVC /P:UserName=WebDeploy /P:Password=WebDeploy /P:DeployIISAppPath= /P:CreatePackageOnPublish=True"
• Save it.
• Click on "Build Parameters"
• Field "env.Configuration" type the configuration you have used to compile solution: "Release" or "Debug".
• Field "env.TargetServer" the IIS server where the web deploy will be performed. Eg.:localhost:8172.

Run your build configuration.
