Deploying ASP.NET MVC 5 Application to IIS 7.5 on Windows Server 2008 R2
<p>I have been trying many different things to get my MVC 5 application to work on Windows Server 2008 R2 IIS 7.5, but no matter what I do, the website loads with no errors and just loads a blank, white page. 
The server has the latest version of .NET installed,
I've added all the assemblies to the 'bin' folder, I added the dependencies in the Web.Config file, tried using various settings on the IIS application pool, and I even added my MVC application as its own site on IIS.</p>

<p>When I create a test MVC 4 application and publish it, the website works out of the box. It seems like anything that uses .NET 4.0 and below works fine, but any version above that doesn't.</p>

<p>I feel like I've read every single Stack Overflow post, every article on the web and every Microsoft post regarding this issue while getting no results. </p>

<p>**** <strong>UPDATE</strong> ****</p>

<p>I found out that when I type a URL based on the MVC URL/routing conventions (ex. /Home/About) on the MVC 5 app, it gives me an HTTP 404 error, but when I use the same URL on the MVC 4 app, it goes to the correct page.</p>
