Web Api IISWebSite_BeforePostDeploy.ps1 Failure

Legacy Uncategorised
1

I am trying to deploy a very simple Web Api project to test out the process, but I am receiving a failure trying to do so. The configuration is very simple. I am deploying to the Default Web Site and the DefaultAppPool. The IIS bindings are the basic defaults with the host set to the machine name as resolved from the Octopus.Machine.Name variable. The error seems to be in determining what the webRoot path is. The error message returned is:

Octopus.Features.IISWebSite_BeforePostDeploy.ps1
resolve-path : Cannot find path ‘C:\Octopus\Applications\Development\MyWebApi\1.0.0.0_2\MyWebApi’ because it does not exist.

At C:\Program Files\Octopus
Deploy\Tentacle\Scripts\Octopus.Features.IISWebSite_BeforePostDeploy.ps1:74

Hi Greg,

Thanks for providing the logs. What do you have set in your IIS Website Settings > Relative Home Directory settings?
It should be left as Package Root but I am guessing it is set to MyWebAPI based on the error message.
If this is not the case can you please provide screenshots of your package IIS settings in the project step.

Thanks!
Vanessa
