Our web site solution consists of frontend folder, where pure html/css/js application resides, and an ASP.NET WebAPI backend. I am setting up a TFS build for dev and qa environment.
Currently, I have made WebAPI backend to publish automatically via WebDeploy. Html/js fronend also has a site setup on a target IIS machine where I am trying to deploy to. But WebDeploy only works with ASP.NET sites. What mechanism I could utilize to copy files of fronend to target folder on IIS machine?

I haven't had a chance to test it myself yet.

I have a web app, and I've setup VSTS to create a package in build, and then deploy it using release management.
It puts all of the result in the wwwroot of the site if I look at it in ftp so I get:
/site/wwwroot/
/wwroot
/
This doesn't run and I get a 404 error.
If I use the URL and go say /wwwroot/images/ it returns it just fine.
The app is set to use .net core and I'm doing a self-contained package.
How do I get VSTS release to put the files in the right place and what is the right place ? I can't find any documentation on this anywhere. Everything is to do with Windows.
Also, what linux target should the dotnet application be set to for self-contained? I have it using ubuntu but I'm sure that's wrong and it's something else.
Please use Azure App Service Deploy task with 4.* (preview) version instead, and deploy again:
I had a similar issue and I responded here. Essentially you need to have a startup command pointing to your DLL because Dev Ops deploys the package in a different way than VS.

How do you go about setting up the build / publish for an ASP.NET web site (not a compiled application).
I have a classic simple site with primarily static assets. The only reason for the site is an aspx page that is used for a contact form email.
Simple steps:
Install IIS Web App Deployment Using WinRM extension if you want to deploy app to your web server
Create new build definition with Asp.Net Build (PREVIEW) template (select ASP.NET Build PREVIEW template when create build definition)
Add Windows Machine File Copy step to copy files to your web server
Add WinRM-IIS Web App Management step to create or update web site in IIS
Add WinRM-IIS Web App Deployment step to deploy app to web site (step 4)
You also can refer to this thread: Automated Deployement of ASP.Net MVC Website In IIS server with a Continuous Deployment
If you want to deploy app to azure, you can add Azure App Service Deploy step to deploy your app to azure (do not install previous extension and remove step 3, 4, 5)

What I was looking for was publishing a ASP.NET 2.0 Web Site (not an application that requires a build).
It ended up being pretty easy. I have mostly static files, but there is one aspx page for that is used for a contact form. I followed this solution but tweaked it a bit.
All I needed to do was add the npm and gulp task. My gulp task does as the answer suggests - copies all of my pertinent files to a folder called dist. From there, I copy everything from the dist directory to the $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory).
Then it is just a matter of publishing the $(Build.ArtifactStagingDirectory) to the server (a drop directory similar to the examples of building an MVC app).
I wired in the release for CI / CD.
I have a web application in which I have few document libraries, lists, picture libraries, workflows and few webparts. The webparts are created using visual studio with the feature site scoped. WorkFlows are created using SPD. Everyting working fine in my local SharePoint server. I want to copy my web application to a different server. For this I saved the site template Site Actions-> Save Site as template, saved the wsp to my desktop. Then I took the wsp to the other server machine where i created a webapplication.
Then using PowerShell command added the solution using Add-SPSolution command. When trying to install using Install-SPSolution command I got an error:
This solution contains no resources scoped for a web application and cannot be deployed to a particular web application
I tried to change the scope of webpart feature to Web/WebApplication but encountered error when tried to deployed using visual studio.
How can I deploy the wsp in a different SharePoint Server machine?
When you save the site as a template, you'll only save the site, not your web application. Create the web application first (maybe without a site template), and roll out your site from your WSP afterwards.
If you are using powershell to deploy the solutions, please remember to include the flag -GACDeployment.
I want to make incremental releases of a web application implemented in ASP.NET using MVC 4 and Entity Framework Code-First.
I want to make a good and safe deployment routine. I currently use Subversion as source control, and plan to make releasable tags available on the SVN server, to deploy on the production server. The server runs on a separate network, but has access to the SVN server.
The server runs both IIS and MSSQL server.
What is the best way to deploy new releases to the production server using SVN? Prebuilt binaries or build on site.
How to handle model changes on the production server? On development I use Update-Database function on the Package Manager Consol in Visual Studio.
EDIT:
I will try to base my setup on this blog post, which uses git instead of SVN: http://www.jayway.com/2012/10/17/a-simple-continuous-integration-and-deployment-workflow-with-asp-net-mvc-github-and-jenkins/
But still all suggestions are very welcome.
I need to write a powershell script that would install my team's web application and all the web application's dependencies (ie: telerik, asp.net mvc3, third-party assemblies) with a single click of a button. Is this possible? Or does someone have to click "Next" to go through an installation wizard?
Sounds like a job for MSDeploy. This ships with PowerShell cmdlets (and a regular console executable.)
