ASP.NET MVC Web Application on Windows 10 IOT Raspberry PI

Question

I have been fighting with this for about a week and am out of ideas. What I am trying to do is get a default ASP.NET 5 application running on Windows 10 IOT on a Raspberry PI 2. Everything runs great on my local machine but no matter what I try, my end result is the same on the PI.

I am creating an ASP.NET web application by going to file new project => ASP.NET web application and selecting the pre-configured Web Application under ASP.NET 5 Templates (got the exact same error starting with a blank template as well). I then modified the project.json web command to listen on port 5000.

"web": "Microsoft.AspNet.Server.Kestrel --server.urls http://0.0.0.0:5000"

I then removed the pre-publish scripts from the project.json. At this point I am able to run the debugger using the web debugging configuration and access the site from a browser by navigating to localhost:5000. Awesome!

.NET versions on my local machine are below (dnvm list)

With this configuration I then ran the below command:

dnu publish --out C:\publish\WebApplication1 --no-source --runtime dnx-coreclr-win-arm.1.0.0-rc2-16595

Everything publishes with no errors or warnings. Again, all seems well (feeling good). I then move the files to the PI's Programs directory (“c:\PROGRAMS”) and made sure port 5000 is open. Next, I navigate to the approot directory on the PI and run .\cmd and get the error posted above. I tried several different daily builds hoping it was bug but obviously I am doing something wrong along the way. Any insight on this would be great! Thanks in advance for your time.

Below is my project.json.

    "Microsoft.VisualStudio.Web.BrowserLink.Loader": "14.0.0-rc1-final"
  },

  "commands": {
    "web": "Microsoft.AspNet.Server.Kestrel --server.urls http://0.0.0.0:5000",
    "ef": "EntityFramework.Commands"
  },

  "frameworks": {
    "dnx451": { },
    "dnxcore50": { }
  },

  "exclude": [
    "wwwroot",
    "node_modules"
  ],
  "publishExclude": [
    "**.user",
    "**.vspscc"
  ]
}

Below is my global.json.

{
    "projects": [ "src", "test" ],
    "sdk": { 
        "version":  "1.0.0-rc2-16595"
    }
}

If it is an issue with mixing rc1 packages with rc2, how do I update everything to rc2? Based on my understanding I can't get rc1 of the core-clr for ARM based processors because its still beta. I tried removing 1.0.0-rc1-update1 but when I create the MVC application, Visual Studio seems to reinstall it. I do agree that everything I have read points to the mixing of versions but I am unsure how to force everything to rc2 versions of the dnx.
