如何在64位系统IIS7下运行MVC网站 The steps need to check when you want to run a MVC site under 64 bit OS+IIS7

If you deploy your MVC site under a 64 bit OS + IIS7, you may offen encount exceptions, I just collect the gerernal list & steps to check when fix those exceptions based on my personal experiences:

1. Make sure the iis requried features have been installed, you can select all the features to intall.

2. Make sure the .net framework and asp.net mvc installed, please pay attention the version, the asp.net mvc 3 must have .net framework 4 installed; the asp.net mvc 2 must have .net framework 3.5 sp1 installed. You can go to the Microsoft official site to download those.

3. Make sure the rewrite module installed if you use rewrite feature in the app and has rewrite section in your web.config, note there are rewrite_2.0_rtw_x86.msi and rewrite_2.0_rtw_x64.msi versions, you can also get them from google search.

4. Make sure the asp.net registerred correctly, note that there are sequence issue during IIS+VisualStudio+framework installation, use cmd line to re-registerred the asp.net, for instance if mvc 3 + framework 4, the cmds: <windows dir>\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis.exe /ir and <windows dir>\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis.exe /ir

5. Make sure the authorization has been set correctly, if you use framework 4 you must set the app pool framework version to 4, note a site not support different version of .net apps, and set the app pool account to proper one, the account must have the required DBs permission.

5. Rebuild your solution

6. Restart your IIS

7. Make sure the web.config been configured correctly, below is required for mvc3
