Answer 1

Make sure your account uses IIS 7. For more information, see Customizing IIS Settings on Your Windows Hosting Account. Follow the instructions in Changing Pipeline Mode on Your Windows IIS 7 Hosting Account. Select Integrated Pipeline Mode. In your Project References section, set Copy Local to True for the following assemblies:

System.Web.Abstractions
System.Web.Helpers
System.Web.Routing
System.Web.Mvc
System.Web.WebPages

Add the following assemblies to your project, and then set Copy Local to True:

Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure
System.Web.Razor
System.Web.WebPages.Deployment
System.Web.WebPages.Razor
Publish your application.
