How to publish to IIS without using the docking window?
There were a number of problems trying to publish and run IIS.

One of the problems I had was having to set on all projects:

<RuntimeIdentifier>win-x64</RuntimeIdentifier>

Another problem I had is that the MailKit DLL is not generated in the module folder.

Setting CopyLocalLockFileAssemblies in the project ends up generating many binder files in the folder.

I created a copy of the project in my repository to try to understand the project from the beginning, but this is difficult to publish to IIS and I do not have much experience with docker.

Look at this issue to better understand the problem:

To deploy to IIS, all you need is publish the WebHost using either Visual Studio or dotnet cli, the output folder then ready to deploy to IIS

My steps are next:

1. Clone the repository;
2. Check gulp is available - tasks run with no error;
3. Switch to release and build, here is the log:

4. Publish to local file as release:
   https://gist.github.com/ViacheslavMelnichenko/4cf4cd36786c35988ac81e7d5ac48850
   As you mentioned in other topics I should have .dll file in service directories such as SimpleComAuto\Modules\SimplCommerce.Module.ActivityLog, but only module.json file are there.
   And all the dll files are in root SimpleComAuto though.
5. When I start it via IIS I receive next error HTTP Error 502.5 - Process Failure.
   In my opinion there are something wrong with my publishing? Thank you.

4. That fine.
5. In the root of the site. Find Web.config. Set log to true. Create the logs folder. Run the site again and view the log

[ViacheslavMelnichenko]

<configuration> <system.web> <customErrors mode="Off"/> </system.web> <system.webServer> <httpErrors errorMode="Detailed" />
