MSDeploy

In Visual Studio 2010 a new deployment option is available to easily deploy your web applications: MSDeploy.

On your webserver itself you can deploy the created package using the Web Deployment tool. But I found out it is also possible to do this immediately in IIS 7.

  1. Open the IIS Manager by clicking Start > Run and typing inetmgr.
  2. In IIS Manager, expand the Server node and the Sites node, then select the Default Web Site.
  3. In the right-hand Actions pane, click the Import Application... link to launch the packaging wizard.
  4. Select the package that you created in the previous quick guide, MyApplication.zip, or any other package.
  5. In the Install an Application Package dialog, you will see the application and the database.
  6. On the Parameters page, enter a new application name if desired and enter a SQL connection string.
  7. Click Next to install the package.
  8. The Summary page will provide a high-level overview of some items that were installed from the package. The Details tab will give a lot of detail of exactly what was added.

Help! I accidently enabled HSTS–on localhost

I ran into an issue after accidently enabling HSTS for a website on localhost. This was not an issue for the original website that was running in IIS and had a certificate configured. But when I tried to run an Angular app a little bit later on http://localhost:4200 the browser redirected me immediately to https://localhost . Whoops! That was not what I wanted in this case. To fix it, you need to go the network settings of your browser, there are available at: chrome://net-internals/#hsts edge://net-internals/#hsts brave://net-internals/#hsts Enter ‘localhost’ in the domain textbox under the Delete domain security policies section and hit Delete . That should do the trick…
