Struggling to Get it running without Visual Studio

[farhan3777]

Hello All,
I have followed the steps written here and got the application running, but I am struggling to run the application through IIS directly. Is there a way to do that?

I know this is dated, but could you explain the errors you are getting?

i have a try and i can run application through IIS directly
First, publish the application to your folder (use visual stdio to publish)
then add it to iis

the project use .net3.5 default, i use .net4.8 have some errors and i resolved

1. duplicate 'system.web.extensions/scripting/scriptResourceHandler' section defined
   

you have two solutions
a.change your apppool .net version to 2.0

b. delete the section from web.config

if you choose solution B(use .net4.0 or later), maybe have another error

then, modify web.config and add
<system.web>
...
< siteMap >
< providers >
< remove name="MySqlSiteMapProvider" />


</ system.web>

the default.aspx will be ok

then if have this error, change the apppool authority

click rebuild database
then everything will be ok

@tcsecchen
I'm stuck on the last bit as I don't know where that is located in the visual studio.

Are you able to explain how you got the MYSQL section working?
