Publishing an ASP.NET 5 project to an IIS server with Web Deploy requires a few
|
|
|
|
|
|
additional steps in comparison to an ASP.NET 4 project. We are working on
|
|
|
|
|
|
simplifying the experience for the next version. Until then you can use these
|
|
|
|
|
|
instructions to get started with publishing an ASP.NET 5 web application using
|
|
|
|
|
|
Web Deploy to any IIS host.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
To publish an ASP.NET 5 application to a remote IIS server the following steps
|
|
|
|
|
|
are required.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Configure your remote IIS server to support ASP.NET 5
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Create a publish profile
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Customize the profile to support Web Deploy publish
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In this document we will walk through each step.

Preparing your web server for ASP.NET 5
|
|
|
|
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The first step is to ensure that your remote server is configured for ASP.NET 5.
|
|
|
|
|
|
At a high level you’ll need.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. An IIS server with IIS 7.5+
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Install HttpPlatformHandler
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Install Web Deploy v3.6
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The HttpPlatformHandler is a new component that connects IIS with your ASP.NET 5
|
|
|
|
|
|
application. You can get that from the following download links.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `64 bit HttpPlatformHandler <http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=690721>`_
|
|
|
|
|
|
- `32 bit HttpPlatformHandler <http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=690722>`_
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In addition to installing the HttpPlatformHandler, you’ll need to install the
|
|
|
|
|
|
latest version of Web Deploy (version 3.6). To install Web Deploy 3.6 you can
|
|
|
|
|
|
use the `the Web Platform Installer
|
|
|
|
|
|
<https://www.microsoft.com/web/downloads/platform.aspx>`_. (WebPI) or `directly
|
|
|
|
|
|
from the download center
|
|
|
|
|
|
<https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=43717>`_. The
|
|
|
|
|
|
preferred method is to use WebPI. WebPI offers a standalone setup as well as
|
|
|
|
|
|
a configuration for hosting providers.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
You can find more info on configuring your IIS server for ASP.NET 5 at
|
|
|
|
|
|
`Publishing to IIS <https://docs.asp.net/en/latest/publishing/iis.html>`_. Now
|
|
|
|
|
|
let’s move on to the Visual Studio experience.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Publishing with Visual Studio 2015
|
|
|
|
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After you have configured your web server, the next thing to do is to create a
|
|
|
|
|
|
publish profile in Visual Studio. The easiest way to get started with publishing
|
|
|
|
|
|
an ASP.NET 5 application to a standard IIS host is to use a publish profile. If
|
2016-01-21 09:21:07 +08:00
|
|
|
|
your hosting provider has support for creating a publish profile, download
|
2015-12-09 07:54:55 +08:00
|
|
|
|
that and then import it into the Visual Studio publish dialog with the Import
|
|
|
|
|
|
button. You can see that dialog shown below.
|
|
|

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
After importing the publish profile, there is one additional step that needs to
|
|
|
|
|
|
be taken before being able to publish to a standard IIS host. In the publish
|
|
|
|
|
|
PowerShell script generated (under Properties\PublishProfiles) update the
|
|
|
|
|
|
publish module version number from ``1.0.1`` to ``1.0.2-beta2``. After changing
|
|
|
|
|
|
``1.0.1`` to ``1.0.2-beta2`` you can use the Visual Studio publish dialog to
|
|
|
|
|
|
publish and preview changes.
