My Default ASP.NET MVC Azure Web roles renders only a white blank screen! Why? How to Correct?

Question

When I run the default ASP.NET MVC web roles, only a white screen renders.

When I run a default ASP.NET Web Forms web role it renders ok.

Can you help me get my MVC web roles to work?

I have followed Jason Haley's post about how to add MVC 3 project templates to Visual Studio:

http://jasonhaley.com/blog/post/2011/04/26/How-to-Add-MVC-301-Project-Types-to-the-Azure-Cloud-Service-Wizard.aspx

I have uploaded a MVC 2 and a MVC 3 Azure project to Skydrive, both of these projects renders with just a white screen when I run them, I have also copied and pasted what is output by the output window:

I hope you can help me!

Answer 1

If you're talking about when running locally (under the Windows Azure compute emulator), my guess would be that your computer is missing one or more of the required IIS features. Specifically, check that HTTP redirection is turned on. I think that's the most likely culprit.

Answer 2

Hi Steve Marx

Thank you for engaging in my problem.

Well I am talking about running in the Windows Azure Emulator.

Well the above mentioned problem was there, but funnily it disappeared yesterday.

I noticed that it disappeared after my computer had made some updates, among the updates was:

Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB982018)

Windows 7 Service Pack 1 for x64-based Systems (KB976932)

I don't know whether this can have helped the problem to disappear.

But at least the problem has now disappeared by itself or something.

Sorry I forgot to mention I was talking about the Azure Emulator.

Thank you again.
