This is a continuation of my previous question ( .CSHTML pages will not be displayed ), but I no longer get 500 errors, thus a new post. My pages now just display plain text / html (no matter what I do).
I can make the pages work correctly if I try to view them through WebMatrix3, but I cannot view them from a browser (either local or via the Internet).
I recently realized that my pages are configured for ASP.NET v2.0, which I assume does not support .cshtml. So, I changed everything to v4.0, but I still could not manage to view the pages correctly. This is just text.
I have:
- Installed MVC 3
- IIS 7.5 on Win7 Home Premium
- The registry of pages I want to download is converted to an application
- Web.config works, although I'm not sure what else if I need something to be in
- My server works fine with HTML, .css, .php, python, etc. But I have terrible luck with any ASP.NET functionality (including ASPX).
I really don't know what other information I need to put here, but if you ask for it, I will provide it.
EDIT 1 :
Now I just get 404 errors on any .cshtml page I'm trying to view. This happened earlier when I did not have MIME types, but it was fixed (at least for plain text) when I introduced the MIME type. I have no idea what is happening ... at the moment, I'm almost ready to just delete everything and try to start all over again. = \
EDIT 2 :
Ok, so I got rid of my 404 and 500 errors. As a result, I added a privileged user to the application pool (advanced parameters> process model> Identity). It was previously installed as defaultAppPool. Now I get the following:

More ideas? Oh, and creating a new application didn't help, but it was a good idea.
