_ViewStart.cshtml not being "used"

When my webpages render - the view being rendered is not using _ViewStart.cshtml on appHarbor.

It is working fine on my laptop using Visual Studio 2010. I am not sure where to begin debugging. :-(

_ViewStart.cshtml

@{
    Layout = "~/Views/Shared/_Layout.cshtml";
}

Folder structure looks fine to me.

   Could something like this be the problem? If you can't get it working, feel free to invite support@ as a collaborator, and we can take a look.

   What does involving support as collaborator mean? :-)

   I'd like to get support as a collaborator. Is there an invite procedure?

   In the application interface on AppHarbor, follow the "Collaborators" link and add support(a)appharbor.com.

   The error is due to Build Action being set to None on _ViewStart.cshtml. Right-click _ViewStart.cshtml and set Build Action to Content.

    Found the issue here as well *after* reading your reply. My bad, I
    googled some. Now changing the motto to appharbor innocent until
    proven guilty. (wish I could see the artifacts folder to have -aha-
    the viewstart file is not even here!)

    Yeah, we'd like to expose deployed files in the interface.
