I installed a self hosted Nuget server as described here. I am using Windows 2008 R2, IIS 7.5 and Nuget 1.7.

From within VS I am able to see my self hosted packages in the package manager window, but when I try to install any of them, I am getting an error "The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found".

Help anyone?

  • How are you going about building the packages - through the command line or perhaps using a build server (e.g. TeamCity)? – dubs May 23 '12 at 19:40

please make sure in IIS to set the .nupkg extention mime type to application/zip.

Assuming you use IIS:

  1. Allow directory browsing for the virtual directory where you have your nuget packages
  2. Set the mime type for the .nupkg extension to application/x-msdownload That should fix your problem.

I hade to perform 3 actions in order to get this to work finally

1) Some of my packages has the extension ".symbols.nupkg" and I found out that the Nuget server cannot serve those packages only. If I change the extension of the package file from "".symbols.nupkg" to ".nupkg" everything works fine.

2) All the packages has to be placed flat under the packages folder (no sub-folders).

3) The packages folder has to be placed below the website (original location is fine, "~/Packages"). I tried to put it in absolute path "C:\NugetPackages" and it did not work.

    Having already followed the other steps in this answer I found that switching the Application Pool from "Classic" to "Integrated" fixed the problem for me – Twisted Feb 12 '13 at 17:07
  • A late update: We are now using the free ProGet (http://inedo.com/proget/overview) as a NuGet server. It has an easy setup and suits almost all our needs. – dux2 Aug 20 '13 at 06:09
