c# - ASP.NET Core Running as Windows Service gets 500 Internal Server Error -

i'm trying implement asp.net core application windows service. i'm following steps outlined here. publish app, create service pointing executable in publish location. service gets created successfully. start service , successful. however, when try navigate browser url set up, "500 - internal server error". i'm pretty new process , don't know how track down. here how set entry point:

public static void main(string[] args)     {         var isdebug = debugger.isattached || args.contains("--debug");         string runpath = isdebug ?             directory.getcurrentdirectory() :             path.getdirectoryname(process.getcurrentprocess().mainmodule.filename);          var host = new webhostbuilder()             .usekestrel()             .usecontentroot(runpath)             .usewebroot(path.combine(runpath, "wwwroot"))             .useurls(new string[] { "http://myserver:9191" })             .useiisintegration()             .usestartup<startup>()             .build();          if (isdebug)         {             host.run();         }         else         {             host.runasservice();         }     } 

fyi, i've tried , without usewebroot line, , i've tried usewebroot both relative , absolute path. can point me in right direction? more info needed?

thanks! dennis

thanks help, commenters! turns out had not added views structure publishoptions in project.json. section looks this:

"publishoptions": { "include": [   "wwwroot",   "web.config",   "**/*.cshtml",   "appsettings.json" ]} 

everything seems work now!
