Publishing ASP.NET MVC3 Website

Question

This is really confusing me, it just does not want to work. I did exactly like the walk-through on MSDN says and I still get Under Construction page everytime I browse to the domain (fisharwe.com). Ok enough with the nag, here's what I did:

In Visual Studio 2010, I right clicked the project name and chose Publish. I chose to publish to the File System and everything went okey. Then I used CuteFTP to upload the files to the httpdocs folder (Plesk control panel), the live support guy said this is supposed to be the public folder. Finally, I tried to open the site and still nothing shows up... All I get is:

The site you are trying to view does not currently have a default page. It may be in the process of being upgraded and configured.

So what's going on?

What version of IIS are you running? Looks like possibly IIS6? If so, try this article. — mxmissile

@Daniel A. White: Where can I find this? (P.S: this is the first time I deploy to a Windows server, I used to be a PHP guy...) — Kassem

Nope. This was the case, but I requested an account migration to IIS7 — Kassem

@KassemYou sure the migration has finished already then? The headers look like IIs6. — Rob

Judging by the following response header i'm seeing returned on your domain it seems your running IIS6;

Content-Length  1433
Content-Type    text/html
Content-Location    http://fisharwe.com/iisstart.htm
Last-Modified   Fri, 21 Feb 2003 18:48:30 GMT
Accept-Ranges   bytes
Etag    "0938ad3d9d9c21:2f56e6"
Server  Microsoft-IIS/6.0
X-Powered-By    ASP.NET
Date    Mon, 18 Apr 2011 18:04:19 GMT

Take a good look at this article by Phil Haacked, hope it's helpfull. He explains how to set up an mvc website on iis6

You need to configure the server to send all requests through ASP.Net.
