Issue While deploying 3.7 Sitefinity Website to IIS7.
I am very new to Sitefinity. Currently I created a website & deployed to IIS7 sucessfully. But I have to migrate a website developed in Sitefinity version 3.7.
And I am having problems in deploying that site to IIS7, I searched & found the issue was in Web.Config, therefore I copied the web.Config from 5.2 project into the 3.7 project. But then I had following Error :
Could not load file or assembly 'Microsoft.IdentityModel, Version=3.5.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified.
Hi Ashish,
The error you are getting shows that you are missing an assembly from your references folder. However, the assembly by default comes with Sitefinity 5.x and is not required by a 3.7 project. Also the webconfig files of 3.x and 5.x are different, so you might be encountering other errors during the migration as well, therefore I would suggest to follow our upgrade instructions ( and set both sites locally ):

The following blog post may also be useful, as it is a step-by-step guide through the migration process:
