I am trying to get MVC to run on my local host but keep getting tons of errors. Can someone help me set it up. Right now I am getting this error.

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

I did tried to enable [Directory Browsing] but that will still not route any requests to login form.

Please help.

@Christian Graus this is only my local copy and I am trying to do everything I can just to make it run it just wont't!!!!! IIS was installed before the application and everything runs in it Website project, plain html websites, I can connect to db through website project etc EXCEPT THE FRIGGIN MVC DOES NOT WORK. I am not sure what else to try it just does not run.

I was messing with UrlRoutingModule-4.0 that seems to load the project but the screen is blank. I know the project works because I got the same source code that other people have and on their machine it runs through IIS only my local config that is what I am having trouble with.

I did run aspnet_regiis -i still the same. No changes.

You should never expect to browse the contents of an MVC application. Did you install IIS before or after ASP.NET ? Try running aspnet_regiis[^]

OK - not sure if I want to help more if I get a one vote because I suggested something that was pretty obvious, but, why do you want to run in IIS at all ? What's wrong with hitting F5 in Visual Studio ? Are you using an Express Edition that doesn't have it ?

I faced the same problem a few days ago and the solution is the same as Christian Graus said.
You could also try modifying your web.config to the following code:

XML

<system.webserver>
    <modules runallmanagedmodulesforallrequests="true" />
    <!--<validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" />--></system.webserver>

Remove the <validation></validation> tag and replace it with the <modules></modules> one in <system.webserver>.</system.webserver>
Hope it works for you as well.
