Deploying ASP.Net MVC 4 App on IIS 7

Question

I created a simple app and ran it on visual studio. Then I went to "Project properties > web" and changed it to "Use local IIS server".

Now when I debug, I can't see anything, even localhost\MySite\Home will return 404. It look like the iis is looking for a folder called \home under the site main folder, instead of looking for a controller named home.

IIS has my application as site with application pool default ASP.Net , Integrated mode.

What is wrong?

my config is standard from wizard:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

It seems like routing handler is not being loaded...

Are you sure the application pool is set to integrated? If yes try to add this line in your web.config:

<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"></modules>

Please, make sure you have also these handlers registered in your application:

<add name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-ISAPI-4.0_32bit" path="*." verb="GET,HEAD,POST,DEBUG,PUT,DELETE,PATCH,OPTIONS" modules="IsapiModule" scriptProcessor="%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\aspnet_isapi.dll" preCondition="classicMode,runtimeVersionv4.0,bitness32" responseBufferLimit="0" />
<add name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-ISAPI-4.0_64bit" path="*." verb="GET,HEAD,POST,DEBUG,PUT,DELETE,PATCH,OPTIONS" modules="IsapiModule" scriptProcessor="%windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_isapi.dll" preCondition="classicMode,runtimeVersionv4.0,bitness64" responseBufferLimit="0" />
<add name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0" path="*." verb="GET,HEAD,POST,DEBUG,PUT,DELETE,PATCH,OPTIONS" type="System.Web.Handlers.TransferRequestHandler" preCondition="integratedMode,runtimeVersionv4.0" />

This should be a comment, or explain how to install or enable redirection on IIS.
