How to host a DotNet Core 6.0 WebAPI project on IIS using CLI?

I am trying to host my webapi project locally using IIS server. I am using VS Code to create my webapi using .NET 6.0.
Here are the steps I took:
I ran dotnet publish --configuration Release. This created files under 'bin\Release\net6.0'.
I downloaded the ASP.NET Core 6.0 Runtime (v6.0.2) - Windows Hosting Bundle.
Next, I created a website in IIS using the Physical Path as 'bin\Release\net6.0' and set the port to 8084.
Now when I try to browse to the path, localhost/8084/api/users it returns 500 Internal Server Error. What am I missing?
Settings for IIS

I was able to find the solution go this, thanks to #gunr2171.
The issue was with using user-secrets. When using user-secrets, IIS is not able to find the secrets.json file. This caused the application at IIS to fail with null reference(Found this through Event Viewer).
A solution that I found to this is - for development purpose, we can copy paste the secrets.json file to the physical path being used by IIS to host. This lets us continue hosting through IIS without issues.

You need to install this bundle, then try again :). Check your .net core version

How to run Orchard Core with IIS

How do I run Orchard Core in IIS on my local machine. I am able to run the site by using dotnet run, but every time I create a new site in IIS with the physical path OrchardCore\src\OrchardCore.Cms.Web, I get a 403 error. I added IIS in the security tab and gave it full permission but I am not sure how to continue.

Hey to run your site in IIS you'll need to do the following
Install .NET Core hosting bundle on the server.
Run the following in an elevated terminal net stop was /y (stops IIS).
Run the following in an elevated terminal net start w3svc (start IIS).
Run dotnet publish --configuration Release in your project root.
Copy the output bin/Release/{TARGET FRAMEWORK}/publish to you IIS physical path.
Official docs are here. If you need more help, there are also different ways of hosting .net core apps, In-process vs Out-of-process hosting.

ASP.NET Core publishing application by CLI

I have problem with publishing under IIS. i have been trying to automate publishing web app to the IIS by following cmd dotnet publish App.csproj -c -o C:\inetpub\wwwroot\App.Web -c release, but it just added it as folder, how to publish it as a Web Application, is it possible?

you will need to convert your folder to an application.
To do so, just right click on it, and select "convert to application"
After that, as you're publishing a .netCore application, you will have to configure the application pool running that app, and set "Framework version" to unmaged. (and leave
the pipeline to integrated)
more information on hosting .NetCore on IIS
This is a one step configuration.
All you next publish should work fine.
Some more explanations :
.NetCore is platform agnostics, so it can't know you're deploying on IIS.
When you deploy with legacy .net (4.xx) Visual studio has an IIS target for deployment, and did all the work.
With .net core, as it can also be run under linux, mac, etc.. the IIS specificities have been removed.

Dotnet run doesn't work in VS Code

I have an issues running net.core 2.0 app inside of vscode. I installed angular cli project, then used dotnet new webapi to install net.core 2.0 project.
Structure is like this:
When I use command dotnet run, I can see kestrel is running:
PS D:\CodePlayground\my-dream-app> dotnet run Using launch settings
from D:\CodePlayground\my-dream-app\Properties\launchSettings.json...
Hosting environment: Development Content root path:
D:\CodePlayground\my-dream-app Now listening on:
http://localhost:28009
But when I open a page in browser I get this:
It works in visual studio 2017, iis or self hosted.

You need to specify your controller like http://localhost:28009/yourcontrollername or you have to config which action for empty route

Unable to run ASP.NET Core rc2 in IIS

So, I've been trying to publish my Core App to local IIS server but whatever I do it just doesn't want to run.
What I do is find the project in windows explorer and open a command window there, and write the following:
dotnet publish --framework netcoreapp1.0 --output "C:/ReleaseWebsite" --configuration Release
Which well executes without any errors, and finally says that it published the project correctly.
After that I go to IIS and Add New Website, set it to port 80 or 8080, I even tried with 8088, and after set the path to the published files, I edit the Application Pool and set it to No Managed Code. Start the website but all I get it 500 error An error occurred while starting the application.
If I go manually to the published files and open GST.Web.exe it starts without any issues, and rusn on port 5000 and I can access it without any problems. But I want to run it in IIS. Any help?

Refer Publishing to IIS article.
I think you must have done all the steps from this article except installing .NET Core Windows Server Hosting bundle on the server.
Install the .NET Core Windows Server Hosting bundle on the server.
This bundle will install the .NET Core Runtime, .NET Core Library, and the ASP.NET Core Module. The module creates the reverse-proxy between IIS and the Kestrel server.
See if this helps.
