问题
i was able to publish the website to local machine folder, where i've the bin, content, scripts, views, web, global, and packages folder. AFter i add these folders to the root of my web server using filezilla, the website does not work. server does support asp.net 4, ii7. What exactly are the steps. i looked for some answers googling, but none of it helped. I'd realy appreciate if you can help me figure this out, thanks
UPDATE Issue Fixed: My project was using .net 4.5 instead of 4.0...which was causing the issue on the server where I was deploying my website

There are 2 steps in order to deploy your application:
1. If ASP.NET MVC 3.0 is not installed on the server you should deploy the following set of assemblies in the bin folder of your web
application:
Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure.dll
System.Web.Helpers.dll
System.Web.Mvc.dll
System.Web.Razor.dll
System.Web.WebPages.Deployment.dll
System.Web.WebPages.dll
System.Web.WebPages.Razor.dll
you can set copy local to true but this is not available for all listed dll's or you can use some interesting future: right click on the project and select Add Deployable Dependencies with ASP.NET checkbox checked.A special folder named _bin_deployableAssemblies will be created with all necessary assemblies copied into this folder. When the project will be compiled all this assemblies will be copied into bin folder.
2. Publish the application: in a local folder and copy it to your deployment server or directly via FTP.

Marking references as Copy to Bin Directory in the properties window will make sure that the DLL is copied to the /bin directory.
