Basic installation prerequisites #718

Open Mandropil opened 7 years ago

While looking for the reason I got 403 errors I came across several Stackoverflow topics which rather seemed unsolved.

Although it might seem trivial the installation prerequisites should mention that it's actually an ASP.NET application. E.g. IIS on Server 2012 does not come with ASP by default although .NET CLR is installed by default.

At least for me it was a little confusing and took me some time to figure out that the ASP server role has to be installed.

Perhaps you can add this in the install section. I bet it will help someone :)

Is the role really called "ASP Server"? This sounds like the old 'traditional ASP' rather than ASP.Net, which comes with the .NET framework.

I expect you're right that there are roles in IIS which are required which may not be installed by default on some versions of Windows, but we do need to be careful about the names of them if we're going to say people have to install them.

I must admit I installed all Development tools as I did not care on that server. But then it should be called "ASP.NET 4.5".

Can someone confirm ?
