I'm trying to locate the source files being used when loading a page through IIS.
The developer console in Chrome and also the cs-uri-stem IIS logs show the location, however I am unable to find that specific folder/file they both reference within the root of the site.
I'm assuming I'm missing something obvious. If someone could point me in the right direction on this, I'd really appreciate it.
I'm using IIS 8.5.
Thanks!

The title is purposely generic as I have no clue to formulate my question in any different way.
I have made an MVC 5 project using .NET 4.7.
My goal is to use IIS 10 to point to a domain so I can use that as a testing ground.
I have already edited my host-file to point my localhost ip to the domain I have in mind.
After that I have followed every step mentioned in the video below meticulously.
However I keep ending up on the 403.14 error page.
I have adjusted security to no avail, checked the app-pool to use the correct .net version... I'm all out off ideas.

I hope someone here has some idea of things I have not thought of myself, so feel free to ask anything you think might make the change I need to make this work. I will edit this message (and title) as much as needed to keep up to date as possible.
EDIT: I have followed the full guide that I have marked as an answer. I had 3 differences.
Difference 1 was in Windows Features. I think I just plain didn't correctly mark all the needed features..
Difference 2 was in Security. I did not have IIS_IUSRS added, only IUSR
Difference 3 is one I have purposely keep a difference and that is Directory Browsing. Without this being enabled, it works for me.
I hope that if anyone ends up on this page in the future, the answer provided below will be as helpful as it has been to me.
make sure you enabled below iis features:
please follow the below steps to publish your MVC project in iis.
1)open the visual studio. Select your site and right-click on that-> Click publish.
2)in pick up publish target Select folder option and create choose destination where you want to publish the site. (make a new folder and publish a site in that folder) and then select publish.
3)open IIS manager.
4)expand the server name and right-click on sites and select add a new site.
5)enter the site name, physical path, and site binding details.
ip address: select your machine ip address.
port: 80
domain name: your domain name
6)make sure you enabled directory browsing in iis.
7) The application pool is running under application pool identity, a version is correct and using the integrated pipeline.
8)anonymous authentication is enabled.
9)iis_iusrs and iusr have full permission to access the site folder.
host file enry:
bind your machine IP dress with a hostname of the site.
after doing all the changes refresh the site in iis and browse.
I have this error and trying to follow these steps to solve it.
Step 2. says:
In IIS Manager, expand server name, expand Web sites, and then click
the website that you want to modify.
I don't know where is server name and how to expand Web Sites. I'm using IIS 10.0.
Any suggestions?
Check out the getting started guide.
I have also provided an annotated image for your reference.
So, I did something and my localhost website gave me a 500 error. Couldn't figure it out so I figured I'll delete the website in IIS and then re-add it. Apparently that was a mistake. I can't see the added website locally anymore. I seem to recall having to add a permission or something to be able to view it in localhost but for the life of me I don't remember what setting that was and I can't find it online. Any ideas? My other local website still displays fine ... Using Windows 8 IIS 8.5
I'm simply going to Add Website > putting in the site name and changing the port number. I've left the IP address alone to All Unassigned (I just want to view in as localhost:24)
Adding website in IIS:
1. Right Click the Sites Folder image.
2. Add website.
3. Enter Site name.
4. On physical path textbo, Locate where do you want to store your website.
5.Assign a port.
then done.
After creating.
1. Select website created.
2. Open Directory Browsing.
3. On the right side click disable.
Make sure in application pool that your website has same framework set up.
I am trying to follow these instructions but I am unable to find “Web Sites” folder in IIS, and I tried to Google it, and I can't just find where this should be in my IIS manager. Is it because of a different version of IIS?
I can only see a folder called Sites, but it has no Properties option on right-click so I guess it is not the right one. This is how it looks:
Can anyone tell me if the information in that msdn blog post is still valid, and how to open Properties of WebSites in IIS?
As #LexLi have written in his comment:
That post is for the obsolete IIS 6. Try to use Google to search for posts that apply to IIS 7 and above.
So that solution was not a valid one in my case, as the IIS structure is different between the versions 6 and 7.
A developer just send me a running website files from IIS directory. I want to know if I can run the website on my PC. The file contain "Default.aspx" file, which I assume is of some importance.
I want to know if it is possible to run the website on my PC, I have installed IIS and I placed the file in the wwwroot folder, but unfortunately I dont know how to proceed from here.
Can someone please point me to the right way to continue with this task.
Thanks in advance
First time use of IIS
Now that IIS is running on your system, it should have defaulted to running on port 80. You can test this out by going to http://localhost/
The file you have placed in the wwwroot directory Default.aspx is an ASP.NET application. You need to go to IIS and convert the directory it is stored into a web application.
Now when creating web applications, it is better to create them in another folder other than your wwwroot folder, and in the case of this tutorial it is easier. Move your Default.aspx into a folder named 'webapp', or something of the like.
To convert it into an application, do the following:
In the Server Manager, expand the
'Roles' item in the tree
Expand the 'Web Server (IIS)' item
Click on 'Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager
In the window on the right hand side, you will need to open up your server. In my case, my server is called WIN2008R2. Your server name will be located inside the 'Connections' pane. Expand your server in the tree
Expand the 'Sites' item
Expand your newly created site. There should only be one there, and the item will have a globe next to it
Now right click on your 'webapp' item which will have a folder next to it, and click 'Convert to Application'. Then leave all the properties the same in the window that comes up and click OK.
You have now created a new web application. By going to http://localhost/webapp you should see it working.
You need to configure IIS to host an ASP.NET website.
You can find information about configuring IIS here: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms178477.aspx
Another option is using the Cassini web server (instead of IIS). You may find it easier to configure: http://ultidev.com/products/cassini/
