Install ASP.NET application on IIS on Windows Server 2019

I try to install an ASP.NET application to IIS on Windows Server 2019.

The application is built against NET 4.7.1, and it works just fine on IIS in Windows Server 2012 and 2016.

However, when I try to install it on new server running Windows Server 2019, the problems starts from the configuration phase.

Specifically:

  • I copy the app with all the files in a folder on new server (2019)
  • I create the appPool, using ApplicationIdentity, enable 32 bit access
  • I create the web application, set to path the folder, set the appPool to my newly created apppool
  • I set the permissions to read / write access for IIS AppPool\DefaultAppPool

But I cannot even do any further configuration in IIS Management.

When I try to edit any config option (default page, etc, etc) IIS manag gaves me error that it cannot access the web.config file

I even set temporarily access rights to web app's folder to full access for everyone (!!!) - no success.

Any idea what can be?

Solution

  • It's possible that was an error with creating the VPS image.

    I recreated it and after that everything went ok
