Well I was on the phone with GoDaddy (woohoo) after uploading my ASP.NET MVC Site that I had just created. The issue is that I created this at a time in which MVC requires SP1, or at least the libraries from SP1. So how do you get around it? Here is the error:
Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Abstractions, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
To skate the issue (GoDaddy wouldn’t upgrade their servers for just me, but I did ask), I used a technique that I ran across somewhere along the way. In my References folder of my project I focused on each and every (sure this wasn’t the best way to do it) DLL that was referenced and in the Properties window of that DLL I Changed “Copy Local” from False to True. Next time I refreshed, the website worked perfectly. Here are some of the websites that I ran across along the way. I am sure one of them, you will see a reference to this solution!
