Compiled Source Code and Completed Installation - Deploy to IIS?

Hi,

I've purchased the documentation and have read the installation steps to compile the source code using Visual Studio.  I successfully built the project and completed the installation steps.  However, when the application runs from Visual Studio it looks like it's running at http://localhost:2392 and when I open up my default web site in IIS the store doesn't load.  I must have missed a step between building the source code and being able to login to the newly-installed store?  Please advise of what files must be deployed to IIS (note VS2010 is on the same box as IIS and SQL Server), whether they are to be published from within VS2010, and any other intermediate steps to deploy NopC to IIS Default Web Site.

Additionally, I want to create a custom theme for my store.  Please forward links on tutorials that document steps to accomplish this - change look/feel/branding/logo etc.

Thanks,
Sid

Hi Sid,

In the root folder of the source code package you will find two batch files; Deploy.bat and Prepare.bat. You will need to run prepare then deploy and it will create a new folder at the same directory level called deployable. Inside of "Deployable" you will find another folder with the version of nopCommerce you're using. You need to copy the contents of the versioned folder to your webserver. Once you've done this use a web browser to navigate to your website and complete the installation process.

Hi Skyler,

Thanks for your reply.  I ran both batch programs and did copy the contents of nop_2.30 to c:\inetpub\wwwroot.  These now show up within IIS under the Default Website node.

However, when I browse http://localhost from the server, the IIS splash screen appears instead of the Nopc home page.  How do I rectify this?

Thanks,
Sid

Please check the following:

1. Your IIS is configured for MVC3 http://www.asp.net/mvc/tutorials/using-asp-net-mvc-with-different-versions-of-iis-cs
2. Your IIS website points at wwwroot. You can verify this by opening up IIS Manager (start > run > inetmgr).
3. Your wwwroot directory was empty before you copied the contents of nop_2.30 into the wwwroot directory.

After running both prepare.bat and deploye.bat I compiled the nopCommerce 2.20 successfully and uploaded all the files and folders in "Deployable/nop_.....can't remember the exact name" to one of the directories on the webserver
and used the url www.printandwebdesigns.co.uk/ncommerce and I got the following problem:

Line 64:     <authentication mode="Forms">
Parser Error Message: It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level.  This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS.

Appreciated any help.

You need to set the physical path for your site in IIS to the folder that has the nopCommerce files.  Right now it is set to wwwroot and you are trying to browse down one folder and run it as a asp.net site which won't work.

Hi, I have the same problem more or less. Deploy on my machine is ok (I compared files and folders with downloaded nop commerce without source code from site) and transfer to web server (2008R2 IIS7) also. When I try to call http:/localhost/mystes/install/ I receive the error HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found. Server has MVC and framwork 4.0 and in IIS is configured as integrated pipeline ... It si really strange for me.. Could you help me ? Thanks in advance
