ASP.NET MVC deployment routing

Question

I've built a WebDeploy package of my ASP.NET MVC 4 website in Visual Studio 2012.

When I run the deployer on my server, it successfully deploys the website to a subdir on my server called /myapp

However, when I navigate to localhost/myapp in a browser, I get a 404. It appears IIS is looking for a physical path (one-to-one). How can I config IIS, or setup a rewrite rule, so that /myapp functions within itself?

For example, links and redirects that the website has are pointing to localhost/static/style.css, when they should be pointing to localhost/myapp/static/style.css

IIS 7. I think adding the ~ mark may work. Going to try right now. Strange this doesn't work right out of the box though. — Jesse

You can use a tilde in your paths to tell ASP.NET to follow the path from the application root:

~/static/style.css

Did you create an Application in IIS called myapp? It should have the path pointing to where you deployed the files for the website - in your case: /myapp
