Thank you - I did get it running eventually, but then realised that it's not necessarily a good idea if developing in Visual Studio and using uSync and models builder. As editing stuff while running in IIS causes the changes to be stored in the wrong place (because my IIS root is not the project root).
I have setup IIS locally as a deployment test, but will do development by running it from within Visual Studio.
Run Umbraco v9 locally in IIS
How can I run Umbraco V9 in IIS, locally? It seems to be quite tricky! Much harder than it was for V7.
I have setup a local domain and added it to my hosts file. I created a site in IIS and pointed it to my solution folder, where the .csproj file is.
When I try to access the Umbraco website via "mylocalsite/umbraco/", I get a 404 error.
I assume it must be possible to run V9 in IIS? Would it be better to publish to a separate folder, outside of the project?
Running the site from Visual Studio using IIS Express works (although it gets upset if the IIS site is also enabled).
Hi Gordon
I am not sure if you have seen our documentation about the subject
If not then i have included the link here
https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/fundamentals/Setup/Install/iis
Hope this can help you a step further
