Deployed project cannot load the default document and lists the directory instead

Question

Below are my project specifications :

• ASP.NET MVC 5
• Windows Server 2012 R2
• IIS 8.5

I deployed my project on a server composed of above specifications. Now, When I try to load the project, it lists the directory of my project instead of loading the default document as below :

What could possibly be the thing I'm doing wrong here? Why is it not loading the initial page of the application?

Answer 1

So, I figured it out, goes this way :

• Click "Server Manager"
• Click "Manage" at the top right
• Go to "Add Roles and Features"
• Proceed until "Server Roles"
• In the "Server Roles" tab of the "Roles" section Check "Web Server (IIS)" > "Web Server" > "Application Development" > Check all except "CGI"
• Click "Next" & "Install"

You are good to go.
