  • The error message indicated that the web site "`$SiteName`" does not exist. Seems the variable "`$SiteName`" cannot be parsed in Octopus . So, you can try using the site name directly to check if that works for you. – Andy Li-MSFT Mar 06 '18 at 09:37
  • "cannot be parsed in Octopus" Means ??? I need to deploy IIS web application in IIS environment – Thisal Thalagahawatta Mar 06 '18 at 10:56
  • It means there is a problem with getting the variable value in Octopus. Please have a read [Debug problems with Octopus variables](https://octopus.com/docs/support/debug-problems-with-octopus-variables). – Alex M Mar 06 '18 at 11:35

The line that's throwing that error is this one in Calamari. That function Assert-WebsiteExists only gets invoked when you try to do one of the following:

  • A) Deploy a Web Site in IIS under an already existing Web Application.

  • B) Deploy a Virtual Directory in IIS under an already existing Web Application.

Both of the above will fail if the parent Web Application (in your case WKLS.Mockservice) doesn't exist before you run that step, which is apparently what's happening in your case.

If you are trying to create the Web Application from that same Octopus deployment process, then you should use this step. If you want to use a Web Application that already exists, then perhaps you just typed the name incorrectly?
