subdomain with mvc godaddy hosting

I've published my mvc app to godaddy (root, ie www.example.com) and all works great. Now I need to post some html files to a subdomain (ie subdomain.example.com) which I've set up. However now when I browse to subdomain.domain.com I get web.config error

"Could not load file or assembly 'System.Web.Helpers, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35' or one of its dependencies. The system cannot find the file specified." Line 101: add assembly="System.Web.Helpers, Version=1.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31BF3856AD364E35" /...

The only files in subdomain directory are html files. Why is web.config coming into play? I thought having a subdomain would separate these virtual directories (root and subdomain)?

I used these instructions from the GoDaddy site to get mine working:

To Deploy MVC3 Applications with Windows Hosting

In your application's project, add references to the following assemblies:

  1. Microsoft.Web.Infrastructure
  2. System.Web.Helpers
  3. System.Web.Mvc
  4. System.Web.Razor
  5. System.Web.WebPages
  6. System.Web.WebPages.Deployment
  7. System.Web.WebPages.Razor

For each reference you just added, set the Copy Local property to True. Deploy your application.

You mention these are .html files. Sure they're not .cshtml?

Domain oddities aside - your host doesn't have the "ASP.NET Webpages" System.Web.Helpers assembly in their GAC, or otherwise available for your deployment.

To solve this, you need to bin-deploy the assemblies. Start by creating a bin directory, and uploading the System.Web.Helpers.dll there.

You'll find it on your developer machine at somewhere like C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET Web Pages\v1.0\Assemblies\System.Web.Helpers.dll
