What needs to be installed in a Windows Server 2008 R2 to allow it to run ASPNET MVC 4 apps?

StackOverflow https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12801442

Question

I've installed the .NET 4.5 framework using the dotNetFx45_Full_x86_x64.exe installer, and the ASPNET MVC4 framework using the AspNetMVC4Setup.exe installer in a Windows 2008 R2 server, yet I keep getting the message 'There is no build provider registered for the extension '.cshtml'.' while trying to run my ASPNET MVC4 app.

I've fixed this temporarily by adding a buildProviders section in my Web.config, but I would like to know how to setup a server so that I can use the current framework without having to touch my Web.config (the same way I can run them in my dev machine).

Was it helpful?

Solution

This is a shot in the dark, but "aspnet_regiis -i" maybe?

(make sure to run the version in the correct directory on your server)

UPDATE:

Did you also deploy the following .dlls in your BIN folder of your web app?

  • System.Web.Helpers.dll
  • System.Web.Mvc.dll
  • System.Web.WebPages.Deployment.dll
  • system.Web.WebPages.dll
  • System.Web.WebPages.Razor.dll
