issue deploying asp.net mvc 5 to iis server

Question

I am trying to publish / deploy my site to a iis 7 server.

When I click run in visual studio it works perfectly.

I followed a tutorial to use the web deploy to my server. the files are there and everything seems ok.

but when I go to the site: http://10.0.0.12:8000/

I get: HTTP Error 403.14 - Forbidden, The Web server is configured to not list the contents of this directory.

I have given the site administrator credentials. And I checked there are default pages configured.

What am I doing wrong?

enter image description here

Here is my config File:

<configuration>
<configSections>

Did you install MVC on the machine? Did you set all handlers properly in your web.config? Is the right application running under the right path? Etc. — Dillen Meijboom, Feb 07 '14 at 09:27

Things to try and check:

Set the runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"attribute on the <modules> section in your web.config:
```
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true">
```
The website is configured to use an Application Pool using ASP.NET 4.0, Integrated Pipeline mode
ASP.NET 4.0 is registered in IIS. Use the following command to ensure this is the case (might need to adjust the Framework64 folder with Framework if you are on a 32 bit server):
```
c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_regiis -ir
```

Go to the web.config at the wed sites physical deployed locationand open it And you will find a an xml tag, almost at the end of the xml file, as the following content

 <system.webServer>
    <validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" />
    <handlers>
               ....
    </handlers>
  <!--ENTER THE CODE HERE-->
  </system.webServer>

At the given location add the following code piece save and refresh ur site

<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true">

Also Try removing any othere tags already available!
