Running ASP.NET MVC 4 app on IIS 7.5 Locally - iis

I have an MVC 4 application that I can run using IIS 7.5. In the application properties there is an option to create virtual directory I click that button and nothing happens. When I open IIS Manager I do not see my application under Default WebSite.
UPDATE: I think I am able to setup the virtual directory. But now when I browse the web site it says "A default document is not configured for the requested URL and directory browsing is not enabled on the server".

You should change the path to your default website in IIS to see if it goes to the right place where your solution is.

Issue in accesing a website hosting on weblogic server through IIS

We are facing issue while configuring IIS setup for weblogic servers.
Following are the environment details:
IIS8.5 on windows 2012 R2 standard 64x, wls_plugin_12.2.1.2.0 for weblogic server.
We have done the following steps:
Created a new web site on IIS.
Enabling the authentication settings.
Enabling the Directory browsing.
Added the script mapping in Handler mapping and set the path of iisproxy.dll as executor.
ISAPI filter setting for the iisproxy.dll
We are able to view the directory structure while accessing the IP and Port, but the request is not redirecting to the weblogic ip and port what we have configured in iisproxy.ini.
Is there any web.config or handler settings required to process the request?
The issue is that we are using wls-Plugin12.2.1.2.0 whose iisproxy.dll is not working in IIS8.5 on windows 2012 R2 server. After using the lower version of the plugin, able to access the web logic instance through proxy the IIS.
After that we are able to view the login page of web logic instance but not able to login to the application as it through s "404 Not found error". For this we have to change the handler mapping settings --> Request restrictions --> Mapping --> uncheck the invoke handle, restart the iis application and try browsing again. You will be able to login to web logic applications.

WebApi site with Windows Authentication and workgroups?

I have a WebApi2 site running in IIS 8.5 with Windows Authentification enabled. the site is working fine.
However, I would like to set up the site within a Workgroups environment instead of Active Directoy.
What are the changes necessary in IIS and/or web.config so that Windows Authentification can still be used?

Manually deploying Umbraco website on IIS - dashboard, js and css not working

I have an Umbraco website with an SQl db. I backed up the DB and imported it on the SQL server on the server here. I then copied all the files of my umbraco folder and placed them in a folder on the server here as well.
I then made an 'application' in IIS and gave it an 4.5 application pool (integrated). I linked it to the folder on the server where all of the files are.
When I browse to the site I get to see all the content, also the dynamic content from the DB, but none of the mark up is applied. If I add /umbraco behind it to access the dev dashboard I just get a white page.
I have only been working with it for 5 days and am new to umbraco. IIS on the local server here has no web deploy installed and FTP is also not an option. I developped the website with Webmatrix and web deploy & FTP are the only two publish option it gives me.
Is there something I did wrong or how can I get the website to work properly here?
Umbraco needs to run in Full Trust mode. Make sure that your IIS is configured for Full Trust.
On Features View --> .NET Trust Levels --> Full (internal)

I had the same problem and found it was caused by permission problems creating the user profile in C:\Users. I gave ApplicationPoolIdentity full permissions to the C:\Users folder, started the site and everything worked, the profile must have been created properly, and my site worked as it should. I then removed access to C:\Users from ApplicationPoolIdentity.
Site wont start on local using ApplicationPoolIdentity, only when using NetworkService: "HTTP Error 503. The service is unavailable."

Can't browse any website on IIS 7.5

I've just installed IIS on windows server 2008 R2. I left everything as default while installing. After installation however, I'm not able to browse any of the websites added. Even the default web site is not browsable. When i right click the Default web site then click Manage web site and the Browse nothing changes.
When you type http://localhost/ what exactly do you receive?
You should either be receiving a "Welcome to IIS" page or page denied.
