The view 'Index' or its master was not found or no view engine supports the searched locations. After deploy MVC5/MVC4 on IIS 8.5

Question

I created MVC 5 application from template 2013 VS. If I run it from VS it works. enter image description here

I used publish and file deploy to my folder and on IIS I setup new pool: v4, integrated.

enter image description here

than I created new site using this pool

enter image description here

I restart IIS but if I run app I get error which is saying that it can't find my Views.

enter image description here

My folder contains views

enter image description here

My feautures is set like this:

enter image description here

I have problem with MVC 4 also but I get page like this.

enter image description here

In my RouteConfig.cs is this coud:

namespace MVC5
{
    public class RouteConfig
    {
        public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
        {
            routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");

            routes.MapRoute(
                name: "Default",
                url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
                defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
            );
        }
    }
}

Maybe my feutures are not set good for IIS feautures but I'm lost with this. Thanks for any help.

.NET version for app pool is v4.0.30319 I added new picture - second from top. — tonco, Jan 11 '15 at 10:33
Why your URL is localhost\mvc5 ? I think it should be localhost\new — Eru, Jan 11 '15 at 10:54
the app pool you are showing is called new but on the other screenshot you are using DefaultAppPool — Stilgar, Jan 11 '15 at 12:19
sorry I added wrong screenshot - I updated it and on picture you can see that pool is set to "new" for site. — tonco, Jan 11 '15 at 12:31
Could you post your route configuration? I believe we can find some clue there. — Pankaj Kapare, Jan 11 '15 at 13:57
On bottom of my post I added route settings but for MVC. Are any route setting for IIS? If yes where can I find it. — tonco, Jan 11 '15 at 14:40

I believe the correct answer should be to give the user IIS_IUSRS full permission into your web folder, mvc5 in your case

IIS_IUSRS is the group for IIS Worker Process Accounts

See this answer for more info

and then sure that the application is using an application pool using the apppoolidentity

Finaly I found where was my problem.

Path to my deployed folder was: "C:\Users\Anton\Downloads\MVC5d"

But probably IIS is not happy with path located in folder "Users".

I moved it into "C:\MyProjects\MVC5d" and everything is working now.

Your steps looks good - I don't see any problem. Try it on different pc or reinstall win.
