Deploy ASP.net MVC project to IIS and redirect to login.aspx

Question

I have an ASP.NET MVC 4 project that I just deployed to IIS. When I tried to browse the web from the IIS, it always redirect to login.aspx (which I believe I have no such file on my project, I tried to search for login.aspx file on my project and found none). I got this error message:

404 - File or directory not found.
The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

I know there are some questions out there that are similar to mine, but none of the solution provided work on mine. Can you help please? Thank you!

More info: btw, i'm using windows authentication. here is the code in my web.config file:

<authentication mode="Windows"/>
    <identity impersonate="true"/>
    <authorization>
      <deny users="?"/>
    </authorization>

try check the default page in your route.config file where default is set. — serene, Oct 08 '13 at 05:06
or this could also be due to improper asp.net installation of incorrectly configured iis. — serene, Oct 08 '13 at 06:43

Also, if you are using STS or Single sign on, please make sure you remove the WebMatrix.dll and WebMAtrix.data.dll from your project. it will fix this. check this out at here too - https://meethrishi.wordpress.com/2015/03/29/sts-configuration-mvc-project-takes-you-to-unknow-login-aspx/
