Can I run MVC 5 application on .NET Framework 4.0?
.net, asp.net, asp.net-mvc, asp.net-mvc-5, c#
Solution
Nope, ASP.NET MVC 5 requires .NET 4.5 at least. Directory browsing is not the problem, don't turn it on. Check the Event Viewer for errors.
I can't link to any official source for this statement but you only get ASP.NET MVC 4 project template when you switch to .NET 4.0.
Problem
I have my MVC 5 application that I create in VS 2013. Now I'm trying to deploy this application and I have a question: Can I deploy MVC 5 on the server with 4.0 .Net Framework? I just create Deploy Package and I have tried to import this package in IIS. It says "Import success", but when I try to "Browse" Web Site It says: ``` HTTP Error 403.14 - Forbidden The Web server is configured to not list the contents of this directory. ``` I just checked `Directory Browsing` and it's `Enabled` in IIS
