WebDeploy with MSBuild Not Deploying from TeamCity

Question

I am trying to use MSDeploy to deploy an MVC project to the server using TeamCity. When I do this on my computer in powershell, using the following command:

msbu         


        

Answer 1

We do our WebDeploys with a TeamCity MSBuild step configured as follows:

Build File Path:  Server.csproj

Command Line Parameters:
/p:Configuration=%configuration%
/p:DeployOnBuild=True 
/p:DeployTarget=MSDeployPublish
/p:MsDeployServiceUrl=https://%web.deploy.server%:8172/MsDeploy.axd
/p:DeployIisAppPath=%web.deploy.site% 
/p:AllowUntrustedCertificate=True
/p:Username=
/p:AuthType=NTLM

We use integrated authentication; change as necessary to fit your scheme. The value of this, I think, is that it builds everything from scratch and doesn't rely on a pre-built package. From the gist you posted I noticed that you do some DB publishing, we don't use WebDeploy for that so I can't offer any guidance there. Hope this helps.
