How to deploy package (zip) into specific site under IIS using msdeploy

Question

Requirement: I have zip package which i need to deploy into specific site (say dev.sitename.org) under IIS.

Earlier , we had site under Default Web Site (under IIS) and we used below command to deploy it. >>msdeploy -verb:sync -source:package="D:\package.zip" -dest:auto

I have tried different provider for -dest , but nothing worked.

Does anyone has idea on this. Please share if any.

Answer 1

Try setting a ProviderPath parameter:

msdeploy -verb:sync -source:package="d:\package.zip" ^
         -dest:auto -setParam:kind=ProviderPath,scope=iisApp,value=dev.sitename.org

Your provider might be a contentPath, rather than an iisApp, depending on how you created it. Open the manifest file in the root of the zip to double check.
