IIS server can not find index.aspx file - 404 error

Question

I am developing a web application on asp.net using VS 2015 (not MVC). I have chosen "Project" (Not website) to create the application. The application is running fine in my Local machine. I have published the website (using File system as per-compiled) and uploaded it to the server space. Now I am getting the flowing Error:

The resource cannot be found.

Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.

Requested URL: /Index.aspx

But the index.aspx file is there under the root. I am not sure why the IIS can't find the index.aspx file.

Is there any change needed in web.config file? Any clue?

You can find the site at http://ssdm.xinksoft.com/

Thanks

@Rafalon you are correct. /index is working. But the user will type the website only without file. How could I resolve this issue... is any change in "settings.AutoRedirectMode" option in RouteConfig file is needed? — Partha, Aug 10 '18 at 14:12

In IIS Manager, you can specify the default document of your WebSite, did you declare index.aspx ?

Yes. I did. But the problem exists. – Partha Aug 10 '18 at 14:00
Like NineBerry asked, did you copy the whole bin folder and is .net runtime installed on the server (same version than the project) ? What verson of ASP.Net are you using ? – Zysce Aug 10 '18 at 14:06

If you look into the source code of the error message, there is this message:

So, the file at D:\INETPUB\VHOSTS\xinksoft.com\ssdm.xinksoft.com\bin\roslyn\csc.exe is missing. Maybe you didn't copy the complete bin folder?
