A big thanks to Carl Hoerberg, who exchanged e-mails with me offline while we determined the solution, and Scott Hanselman, who wrote a blog post at http://www.hanselman.com/blog/BINDeployingASPNETMVC3WithRazorToAWindowsServerWithoutMVCInstalled.aspx about "bin deploying" MVC 3. Here's how I got it to work: - I added Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure.dll, System.Web.Razor.dll, and System.Web.WebPages.Razor.dll as local references to my application, and set "CopyLocal = true" on each of them within the VS project. - I added "CopyLocal = true" on System.Web.Helpers, System.Web.Mvc, and System.Web.WebPages within the VS project. It appeared to be the missing Razor DLLs that were causing the "unable to find view" problem; interestingly, this is working without precompiling the views. I'll probably switch the views to being precompiled anyway, just to save that overhead every time the app is started; when this happens, I'm guessing that I'll probably need to put Carl's engine-tweaking code in the app. There is one oddity that remains; the first time I hit the app, I get an error that the system "does not have access to the key requested". In searching for that, I saw something that said that the web server needed write access to $HOME/.mono. As the web server runs as www-data, I created a .mono directory in its home, and chown'd it to www-data:www-data. However, when I redeploy the app or bounce Apache, the first hit to the site still gives me the error. It's coming out of code in Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure - it's not a huge deal, but if anyone has an idea about that, I'm all ears. Thanks again to Carl for helping me with all this. I'm so excited to have MVC 3 running on my Linux box! I'm wishing that all the programming languages I have to use on a daily basis had Razor - it's that quick. :) -- *Daniel J.
