I'm trying to get Web Deploy setup on an IIS 8.5 server running on Server 2012 R2.
When attempting to deploy from Visual Studio I get the following error:
Web deployment task failed. (Could not connect to the remote computer ("foo"). On the remote computer, make sure that Web Deploy is installed and that the required process ("Web Management Service") is started. Learn more at: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=221672#ERROR_DESTINATION_NOT_REACHABLE.)
I have installed Web Deploy 3.5 and 3.6 from the Web Platform Installer on the remote server and ensured that the Web Management Service is running.
I have also turned the firewall of on the remote server to make sure that it's not being blocked there.
netstat -aon
yields the following relevant lines:
TCP [::]:8172 [::]:0 LISTENING
TCP 0.0.0.0:8172 0.0.0.0:0 LISTENING
TCP <SERVER_IP>:8172 <MY_WORKSTATION_IP>:54055 TIME_WAIT
TCP <SERVER_IP>:8172 <MY_WORKSTATION_IP>:54057 TIME_WAIT
TCP <SERVER_IP>:8172 <MY_WORKSTATION_IP>:54059 TIME_WAIT
TCP <SERVER_IP>:8172 <MY_WORKSTATION_IP>:54061 TIME_WAIT
I can connect on port 8172 via telnet, but no matter what I do I can't get Web Deploy to work.
