This comment was split from the discussion: Build was successful and the deploy but the site serves a 403 error

This is also happening to me on http://bitbuckettest-1.apphb.com/ with a simple page that just has Default.aspx. Successful build, but HTTP403.

Repository is:
https://***@bitbucket.org/turanuk/bitbuckettest

   Are you pushing a full solution/project repository? We generally need that to properly build and deploy your code (although there are exceptions for WebMatrix projects).

   Let me know if this doesn't resolve your problem.

   Do you guys have WebMatrix in your GAC? I was bin deploying it initially and that was still returning the 403.

   Cheers,

   I guess a more general question would be how I deploy a site with just plain .html files, this seems to also return a 403, and a 404 for the actual html files...i.e. in the case that all my repository has is index.html.

   Your safest bet would be to create a Visual Studio web project with a static html file that you make sure has Build action set to Content in its properties. Those files will be copied to the output directory and deployed.

   I'm investigating the WebMatrix situation.

   For WebMatrix sites, we inject a configuration file if it doesn't exist in the repository. If it do exist, you need to configure it with the sections below manually:

   <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
   <configuration>
       <system.web>
           <compilation targetFramework="4.0"/>
       </system.web>
       <system.webServer>
           <defaultDocument>
               <files>
                   <add value="Default.cshtml"/>
               </files>
           </defaultDocument>
           <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"/>
       </system.webServer>
   </configuration>
   

   In case you are deploying plain HTML content, you just need to add that to the defaultDocument section.

    Thanks Troels, unfortunately this still returns a 403 both with and without the WebMatrix assemblies in the bin directory.

    Sorry, Jim. I should have looked more into it before, but the configuration file usually resolves the issue.

    The tarball we receive from Bitbucket contains a root directory with the same name as the tarball itself. This isn't an issue when we look for a solution file, but it turned out to be for the WebMatrix bits.
    We have fixed this issue, so if you make a change and push again, everything should work out.
