MVC2 Website hosted on IIS7 shows directory listing not the Home/Index

Question

I am trying to host a MVC2 website to IIS. Steps I have followed:

1. Create a Website in IIS ( define directory defined physical path and app pool)
2. Published code from visual studio to the physical path.

But when I tried to browse my site it was giving me error

HTTP Error 403.14 - Forbidden The Web server is configured to not list the contents of this directory.

So, I enabled Directory Browsing feature, Now it only shows directory listing. What I have tried?

1. Added wildcard script map for aspnet_isapi.dll
2. enabled HTTP Redirection and some other things that I have found on some answers related to this question but nothing worked for me.

My routing configurations are

   public class MvcApplication : System.Web.HttpApplication
{
    public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
    {
        routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");

        routes.MapRoute(
            "Default", // Route name
            "{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
            new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } // Parameter defaults
            );


    }

    protected void Application_Start()
    {
        AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();

        RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
    }
}

Solution

Here are the things you might check:

1. If your application is using ASP.NET 4 ensure that this is registered in IIS. The following command should register it using the aspnet_regiis.exe tool: c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis - ir (adapt the paths with the proper version of the framework if necessary).
2. Ensure that the application pool which is configured for the website is using Integrated pipeline mode.

Application pool is integrated and I have tried the above tool but didn't worked for me

[Darin Dimitrov]

Is the application pool configured to run with .NET 4.0? Also have you verified that the application files are deployed to the correct directory to which the website is pointing?

[Rajesh Dhiman]

Yes the application pool is configured to .NET 4.0. and the directory to which website is pointing is like "C:\inetpub\wwwroot\myWeb" and this contains my published code.

I don't know I have been stuck in this issue for quite some days and almost tried every solution found on internet but still not able to make it work

[Darin Dimitrov]

If you put a simple .aspx page at the root is it served?

[Darin Dimitrov]

Is your MVC2 application configured to serve extensionless routes? How does your routing configuration look like?

[Rajesh Dhiman]

Updated question with my routing configurations.

[Darin Dimitrov]

What if you try to access directly some controller action: http://example.com/home/index?

Thanks @edtruant, but my framework folder displays folders of all versions of .NET from v1.0.3705 to v4.0.30319. but I will try reinstalling and registering .NET framework.

"c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regi‌​is -ir" worked for me.
