# Quick IIS Deployment Guide - Sky Art Shop

## ⚡ Simplified Deployment (5 Steps)

### Step 1: Install Prerequisites (One-Time)

**A. Enable IIS**

- Run PowerShell as Administrator
- Execute:

```powershell
cd "E:\Documents\Website Projects\Sky_Art_Shop"
.\deploy.ps1 -InstallIIS
```

- **Restart your computer**

**B. Install .NET 8.0 Hosting Bundle**

- Download from: <https://dotnet.microsoft.com/download/dotnet/8.0>
- Look for "Hosting Bundle"
- Install and **restart computer**

### Step 2: Deploy Your Site

Run PowerShell as **Administrator**:

```powershell
cd "E:\Documents\Website Projects\Sky_Art_Shop"
.\deploy.ps1 -CreateSite
```

That's it! The script handles everything:

- ✅ Publishing the application
- ✅ Creating IIS site
- ✅ Setting permissions
- ✅ Configuring firewall

### Step 3: Verify MongoDB is Running

```powershell
# Check if MongoDB is running
Get-Service -Name MongoDB* -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

# If not running, start it
net start MongoDB
```

### Step 4: Test Locally

1. Open browser
2. Go to: <http://localhost>
3. You should see your site!

**If you get errors:**

```powershell
# Check IIS status
Get-WebSite -Name "SkyArtShop"

# Restart IIS
iisreset /restart

# Check what's using port 80
netstat -ano | findstr :80
```

### Step 5: Configure Network (For Internet Access)

**A. Set Static IP**

1. Control Panel → Network → Properties
2. Set static IP (e.g., 192.168.1.100)

**B. Router Port Forwarding**

1. Login to your router (usually 192.168.1.1)
2. Forward port 80 → your PC's IP (192.168.1.100)

**C. No-IP Client**

1. Download: <https://www.noip.com/download>
2. Install and login
3. Your site will be at: <http://your-hostname.ddns.net>

## 🆘 Quick Troubleshooting

**Site won't load locally:**

# Restart IIS
iisreset /restart

# Check site status
Get-WebSite -Name "SkyArtShop"

# If stopped, start it
Start-WebSite -Name "SkyArtShop"
```

**502.5 Error:**

- You need to install .NET 8.0 Hosting Bundle
