I'm not sure I understand you.
But do you mean the code is outputted in plain text by the browser?
Or that the browser render part, but not all, of your code?
And do note that when using WebMatrix, IIS is already preconfigured to host your Razor website.

I experienced this in the past. I reinstalled ASP.NET version onto my server. And verified in IIS that that ASP.NET version was now in IIS. Also make sure that the DLLs are the valid Web Pages/WebMatrix version within BIN.

Self hosting for development purposes is painful because you have to deal with all the configuration issues.

I know from experience that after you got your site up and running, you will want to use WebDeploy to upload changes, and configuring Web Deploy is a whole other issue.

Easiest is to find one of the free hosting companies that supports Webmatrix.
