I have a very simple Hello World level application that I created in ASP.NET MVC 4 / Razor. It works fine in debug mode. No authentication it just goes straight to the Home / Index.
Now I published it in IIS. But when I view it through IIS, for some reason it tries to load the form "login.aspx". I did not define such a form, not in web.config, and not anywhere else in the system. And no matter which path I embed in the URL, it always redirects to the nonexistent login.apsx.
Why? How to fix it?
EDIT: In the commenters' requests, here is my Web.config:
