asp.net core - Problems publishing asp vnext website on IIS 8

Question

I've followed all instructions from this topic and it still doesn't work . How to configure an MVC6 app to work on IIS?

If i enable Directory Browsing in IIS, I can see all files from wwwroot . If i disable it , I get this error :

HTTP Error 403.14 - Forbidden
The Web server is configured to not list the contents of this directory.

ASP 4.5 wasn't installed , even though i had ASP.NET options in IIS Control panel .

In order to install it you have to go to Add Roles and Features Web Server IIS / Web Server / Application Development and check ASP .NET 4.5 and .NET Extensibility 4.5 (i'm not sure if the last one is required)

The installation took a long time (more than one hour) and the server was freezing from time to time . After that everything worked fine .
