I have hosted asp.net mvc application as an application called "samples" inside default website in wwwroot folder in IIS7.0. The url www.website.com/samples will show the application but i want the url www.website.com to show the application.

I have set default document as below.

<defaultDocument enabled="true">
<files>
<clear />
<add value="Index.aspx" />
</files>
</defaultDocument>

Also i have placed the Index.aspx in root folder. I am getting the below error

The file '/Views/Shared/Site.Master' does not exist.

<%@ Page Title="" Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/Views/Shared/Site.Master" Inherits="System.Web.Mvc.ViewPage" %>

I have searched and found setting default document will work but getting above error.

Can anyone suggest the best way?

Your application should be deployed to the root folder for which the web site is configured for:

enter image description here

So in this example you deploy your application in c:\inetpub\wwwroot directly. No subfolders.
