asp.net core deployment to IIS, navigation omits application alias from URL

Question

When I've set up IIS Applications in the past, I've set them up looking like this:

When navigating it might look like this (in the browser):

And If I click on a link, to another page, it might look like this:

I just tried to deploy a .net Core app to IIS:

The images are similar.

I log-in, and in my log-in process it performs a RedirectToAction to: http://MY-SERVER/CoreTestApp/Home/Main ... so far so good!

On this Main page I have navigation, I click on one of the links (which performs a RedirectToAction) and it takes me to: http://MY-SERVER/Home/ComponentRedirect?productcode=10330 ... not so good!

Notice that we lose the "CoreTestApp" in the URL?

If I take that url and change it to (manually in the browser): http://MY-SERVER/Home/CoreTestApp/ComponentRedirect?productcode=10330, my RedirectToAction works and I get sent to:

But that's not really in a great state, because once I start clicking within that page, my ajax calls fail (because of the missing CoreTestApp).

I don't understand why I'm losing "CoreTestApp" after I log-in. Has anyone experienced this?

I agree. As it works in the dev environment (IIS express). But that environment is http://localhost:port/, as opposed to http://localhost:port/some_virt_dir/ — JustLooking, Aug 26 '19 at 19:52
Yes, ensure to use [RedirectToAction](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.web.mvc.controller.redirecttoaction?view=aspnet-mvc-5.2) in your code, or [RedirectToRoute](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.web.mvc.controller.redirecttoroute?view=aspnet-mvc-5.2). I think that you may get more answers if you ask your question on Stackoverflow — Swisstone, Aug 26 '19 at 20:06
