On production server I am trying to run dotnet core api under IIS 8.5 i am getting error
Application 'MACHINE/WEBROOT/APPHOST/MySite' with physical root 'D:\MyFolder\' failed to start process with commandline '"" ', ErrorCode = '0x80070057 : 0.
I am able to run my API in Kestrel using command prompt without any issue.
However i am not able to invoke the API via IIS. I am getting above error in event viewer.
Note: I also have development server where i have installed IIS 8.5, .Net Core 1.0.1 and Windows Server Hosting 1.0.1. But In development environment i am able to access API via IIS.
However the error is happening in new production server where i have installed IIS 8.5, .Net Core 1.0.4 and Microsoft .Net Core 1.0.4 & 1.1.1 - Windows Server Hosting
Since in production i can run application in Kestrel with .Net Core 1.0.4 i dont think its the issue with .net core version.
I am guessing its happening because of Microsoft .Net Core 1.0.4 & 1.1.1 - Windows Server Hosting. This version is different in development and production.
Question
How do i fix this error?
Where would i find old versions of Windows Server Hosting installation files. ( they are not here)
