MVC Project hosting error

Question

Hello Team,

I'm trying to publish my MVC Project on Somee.com and after publishing, this is the erorr that I got.

Server Error 403 - Forbidden: Access is denied. You do not have permission to view this directory or page using the credentials that you supplied.

Hello Emmanuel, The 403 Forbidden: Access is denied error indicates that the necessary permissions are not in place, resulting in this error. Below are some common reasons for the 403 error and steps to resolve it if you're using IIS: Open IIS Manager . Navigate to the specific site or directory. Check the Authorization Rules under the IIS section. Ensure that access is granted to the appropriate users or groups. If the issue persists, go to the published server, verify the index.cshtml file, and try using the Browse option from the server to test access.

It is challenging to pinpoint the exact root cause at this stage. However, I recommend the following steps to investigate further: The 403 - Forbidden error typically indicates an issue with permissions or the configuration of your deployed ASP.NET MVC project. Here's how you can troubleshoot and resolve this: 1. Verify Your Deployment Files Ensure that you have published all necessary files, including the bin directory and web.config , to the server. Verify that the entry point of your application (typically Default.aspx or the configured route in your web.config ) exists on the server. 2. Check IIS Configuration on Somee.com Default Document : Ensure that the default document is set correctly in the IIS settings. For ASP.NET MVC, this should point to your application entry point. Example: Home/Index (if your default route is configured as Home controller and Index action). Directory Browsing : If directory browsing is not enabled, trying to access a directory without specifying a file will result in a 403 error. 3. Set Correct Permissions Verify that the files and folders have appropriate read/write permissions for the application pool identity. 4. Verify the web.config File Ensure that the web.config file is correctly configured and deployed. A misconfigured web.config could cause access denial. Check for settings: This allows access to all users. Adjust it according to your application's requirements. 5. Routing Issues If you are relying on MVC routing, ensure the routes are correctly defined in the RouteConfig.cs file: routes.MapRoute( name: "Default", url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}", defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional } ); Ensure the deployed application points to the correct start controller and action. 6. Application Pool Configuration Confirm that the application pool on Somee.com is set to use the correct .NET framework version (usually .NET Framework 4.x for ASP.NET MVC projects). 7. Contact Some Support If the above steps don’t resolve the issue, the error might be related to server restrictions or additional configuration required by Somee.com. Reach out to their support for assistance with permissions or server-specific settings. After making these adjustments, re-publish your application and test again.
