Helicon Zoo not working on IIS 7.5

[hriday Profile]

I installed Helicon Zoo Python Hosting Package through Web Platform Installer 5.0 on Win 7 64 Bit with IIS 7.5 on it.

As part of this installation, it also installed Python 2.7 and other components (like URI Rewrite, etc)

After that I created a Python Project from Templates using Platform Installer 5.0 which created project folder under C:\Inetput\wwwroot.

But when I click on the Finish button on the Template Wizard, it is not deploying the project and not creating the venv folder under the project folder.

What step could be missing? When i execute http://localhost/pythonsample in IE, i get blank page.

Any suggestions?

Hello,

Can you indicate which files are there in the project folder now.

Hi Anton,

I have following folder/file structure under my project folder.

C:\inetpub\wwwroot\pythonsample

- console (folder)
- log (folder)
- static (folder)
- deploy.py
- requirements.txt
- web.config
- welcome.py

Regards,
HM

Hello,

For some reason deploy hasn't been successful and all consequent actions failed.

Please add the following line into web.config

<add name="DEPLOY_LOG" value="deploy.log" />

Give the folder Write permissions, retry deploy (e.g. by doing iisreset and then opening the site again) and check the log for error messages.

Hi Anton,

Sorry for late reply. I was out on break and could not get to this earlier.

I tried the below suggestions, but deploy is still failing. I do not see the deploy.log file created under log folder.

Below is the web.config file under my PythonSample folder.

Can you please recommend what else I can try here?
