How do I run Orchard Core in IIS on my local machine. I am able to run the site by using dotnet run, but every time I create a new site in IIS with the physical path OrchardCore\src\OrchardCore.Cms.Web, I get a 403 error. I added IIS in the security tab and gave it full permission but I am not sure how to continue.

Hey to run your site in IIS you'll need to do the following

  • Install .NET Core hosting bundle on the server.
  • Run the following in an elevated terminal net stop was /y (stops IIS).
  • Run the following in an elevated terminal net start w3svc (start IIS).
  • Run dotnet publish --configuration Release in your project root.
  • Copy the output bin/Release/{TARGET FRAMEWORK}/publish to you IIS physical path.

Official docs are here. If you need more help, there are also different ways of hosting .net core apps, In-process vs Out-of-process hosting.
