This one is killing me, neither of those files are loaded in my application: images, css, js, everything was working fine before re-installing my PC, so I guess is configuration issue with IIS, since i haven't touch code and works well in a PC of a co-worker.
When seeing the HTML in firebug I see this
Reload the page to get source for: http://localhost/Common/Scripts/jquery-1.4.3.min.js
this is the code
<script src="#Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery-1.4.3.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>
I am running Windows 7 and IIS 7.5, it's an Asp.Net MVC 3 Application.
I have tried the following
uninstall and re-install IIS
added read permission on file system to IUSR and IIS_USRS
In the application in IIS, in feature anonymous authentication, I selected "application pool indentity".
Nothing happens, maybe someone has another idea of what's happening.
Or at least point me a direction to better understand the reason of the problem and I will update the question with the feedback.
help will be appreciated... and rewarded :)
thanks
I found the problem.
I didn't mark Static Content in features for IIS.
In Windows Features go to, Internet Information Services > World Wide Web Services > Common HTTP Features > Static Content
Under Application Development Features I selected Asp.Net it selected automatically everything else, I wonder why It didn't select this option too.
Hope it helps to someone else.

So I have an MVC 5 application which has been running fine and is published to two individual servers, with the same configuration, however one gives http status 500, the other works perfectly. Both servers are exactly the same windows release, and patched up to asp.net 4.5.1.
Browsing the site locally gives the source of the problem as the web.config file, with the relevant config source lines being -1: and 0: Both showing blank lines.
I've no idea what's going on with this one. I have copied the app in its entirety back from the working instance to the none working instance no avail.
I'm a bit stumped.
To note, i've also removed IIS and reinstalled as i thought that could be the cause of the issue.
So after much headscratching it turns out that some clown removed URL Rewrite module from this box. After reinstalling using the web platform installer all is well. I hope somebody finds this useful in future.
Nicolas Carlo, your response pushed me down an alternate route of diagnosing the problem and was helpful in this instance, thank you.
I want to get away from developing in PHP but doing that is proving to be a massive headache.
I am trying to set up a website with MVC 4, ASP.NET 4.0, on Win7 Professional (64-bit). The website is just the basic site that is set up with Visual Web Developer 2010 Express selecting New Project > C# > Website > ASP.NET MVC 4 Application.
After setting up the application in IIS7.5 I am getting an HTTP Error 403.14 - Forbidden. I've done a ton of research and tried multiple different suggestions on how to solve the problem but NOTHING is working. Here are some things I tried:
Install/Register v4 of ASP.NET. This has been the most annoying
thing because everyone else's issue is fixed when they do this but
mine is not.
Changing the application pool settings:
Set to classic/integrated mode
Change the user/permissions used by the application pool
Made sure 32-bit applications were enabled
Added security permissions to folders related to the website (on multiple accounts)
I can get a regular html document to show up if I add it to the websites root directory. It seems that the MVC stack is not being called at all. The server wants to display the directory, which I can enable/disable, but the website is not being displayed.
Please can I have more potential fixes before I resort to my last desperate act? A baseball bat.
p.s. I'm more than willing to do a skype conversation or a share screen kind of thing if someone wants to dig in deep. I am beyond frustrated with this.
So it seems, in my indefinite well of stupidity, I was pointing the webserver to the incorrect folder. I needed to point the webserver to the folder with actual files of the application rather than the folder containing the .SLN file. Sorry to waste your time!
try running the aspnet_regiis
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/k6h9cz8h.aspx
open the command line in %windir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319 and run
aspnet_regiis -ir
other possible solutions:
quit skype, or any other similar applications
I hope I'm asking this question in the right place. I also asked on umbraco forum, but did not get any response yet.
I'm having problem with deploying my Umbraco 5 website to external hosting.
On local machine, I used Umbraco 5 template for VS2010, which works fine (although it's quite slow).
When I publish to live server I get 500 error.
So far, i've tried installing fresh copy of umbraco on hosting (works fine).
I copied config files in hive provider folder (in App_Data), to point umbraco to my hosting database. That does not throw any exceptions yet. Problem starts when I copy views and partial views over - umbraco then finds the template defined in database and tries to load that.
It's worth mentioning that I also copied my project.dll file into bin directory on the server - the reason for that is because I have added new controller which inherits from surfacecontroller (in /Controllers folder).
Please let me know if I'm doing something wrong.
Cheers
Sebastian
It is not any different than deploying a MVC3 website.
There are quite a few questions with exactly that signature here on so.
Visual studio even has a few tools to help you in the process.
The publish function is found right clicking the project in the solution explorer.
If you use the template for developing, you have a working umbraco solution locally right?
If that is the case, it is easier to just deploy / publish the entire site intead of copying bits into another umbraco solution.
Publish tool
When using that tool, remember that umbraco has quite a few config files etc. and they all need to be included. So it is probably the easiest to just export all files in the folders, by changing "which files to include" setting in publish tool. That will unfortunately include all your .cs files too, but later they can be filtered out of the publish process.
First make it work, then make it awesome :)
The same goes for compilation mode, i have found that release mode sometimes breaks things, so for now just keep it in debug mode.
Then later when you have it working, you can change to release mode for a small performance gain.
Stuff to remember
include all necessary files
change connectionstrings
copy databases
custom errors, you don't want your visitors to see YSOD's with your internal debugging info.
disable tracing and debugging!
After reading this, you should go on and look for other more elaborative resources too.
"umbraco then finds the template defined in database and tries to load that" is key point to me
whatever the version you follow the templates and doc types are the backbones of umbraco ( from you website I know that you are aware with above more then me.. but repeating.) I mean you have created new website but there are no relative Templates and Doctype yet you try to use them in views and subviews and that caused the problem.
To do that please create tempalte and doctype same as is in you staging site and this problem will be solved.
Even better kick-start you development with new site only and make replica of that after defining doc-type and templates to your staging.
I hope i can explain my point.
Thanks,
Jigar
I've had problems in the past deploying Umbraco 5 projects. When you deploy an Umbraco 5 website to a new server and before you switch the website on in IIS, navigate to \App_Data\ClientDependency and delete any XML files that are there. Next, navigate to \App_Data\Umbraco\HiveConfig and delete the ConfigurationCache-*.bin files.
Once you've done that, recycle your Application Pool and start your website.
I am having trouble getting my local II7 to load stylesheets when running a default 'File/New' MVC3 website. When I run the site using Visual Studio everything works great. I created an IIS7 website pointed to the root folder of the MVC website. The site comes up, but no stylesheets load. My app pool is set for .NET 4 and Integrated mode.
The same issue was described in this topic, but the fix didn't help me (I already have the 'serve static content' setting checked).
ASP.Net MVC & Local IIS Issue Loading Stylesheets
Any direction is appreciated!
This was solved by enabling Anonymous Authentication in IIS, then right-clicking that node and choosing Edit and choosing Application Pool Identity. Everything loads correctly now. With fiddler I noticed I was getting 401 errors on the stylesheets/js files, so I knew I had a security issue.
In your layout page have the style sheet like:
<link href="#Url.Content("~/folder/style.css")" type="text/css" rel="stylesheet" />
This should help by making it relative to your applications root the #Url(Content("~/ part.
Another thing to check is that Static Content is enabled in Windows Features - this catches me out every time. In Windows 7:
Open Control Panel
Select Programs > Programs and Features > Turn Windows features on or off
Expand Internet Information Services > World Wide Web Services > Common HTTP Features
Check "Static Content"
Click OK and wait before retrying.
As #Mike said, I am almost willing to bet that the problem is that the path to the CSS file is different when you run local than when you run on the server.
Where are your CSS files located at?
For example, if your root IIS folder is c:\inetpub\wwwroot...are your CSS files under
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\somefolder\content\style.css or under
c:\inetpub\wwwroot\content\style.css
?
I had this problem too, and none of the solutions here (or anywhere else that I could find) helped.
The Solution
It turned out that my CSS files were downloaded from an external source in zip format. The files were copied and pasted from the zip file to my IIS directory using Windows Explorer. If you unzip the file first before doing the copy operation, then it won't mess up the permissions and you will be able to view them in IIS.
I have reading posts all night looking for an answer to my issue and haven't found anything that works for me yet. I am sure there is a simple way to do this but I haven't been able to discover it yet.
Details:
MVC 2 Preview
Asp.net 3.5 sp1 framework
VS 2008 C# web application
Windows Server 2008
IIS 7
I have the application running well through VS 2008 no problem. When I hit the play to run in debug mode it starts the ASP.NET Development Server the application loads fine and works as expected, great!
When I publish the application locally or to my web server both on IIS 7 the application doesn't run correctly. Some of the icons are missing and the google maps map is missing. When I view the source it appears correct at first glance, but I can see the paths to the images are looking for the MVC paths and it isn't finding them. It appears the app is running as a regular asp.net app and not an mvc app, maybe?
I also tried to just hit the full source code locally on localhost and the exact same issue is present.
So, I guess my question is how do I deploy a MVC application to run the same in IIS as it does through the development server.
PS The environments are clean and pretty much out of the box.
#user68137 is correct in saying that you need to use relative paths for the images.
I got caught out on this one too, and here's my previous SO question about it...
In short, you need to do something like this...
<img src='<%= Url.Content( "~/Content/Images/banner.jpg" ) %>' alt="Banner" />
Hope this helps!
I had the relative paths set, but what I didn't realize is when I deployed it to the server it went to wwwroot\subsite... I had the relative paths set to src="....\image.jpg" to get back to the root of the site. My error was that if the site is not in the root then the subsite drills back to the root to find the images and of course doesn't find them. Same thing was happening with the JS files. I used the Url.Content and it worked great! problem solved!
The interesting this is when running through the VS dev server with a subsite it still worked well and found the paths even though it shouldn't have. VS dev server <> IIS
Thanks for your help on this!
Simon.
Once you know the virtual path to the location you are deploying the project to, you should go into the project configuration in Visual Studio and add it to your project. This way the visual studio development server will use the same path structure as the deployment server. This will save you countless hours of work when deploying.
When you run your website through Visual Studio, every single request gets processed through the ASP.NET pipeline, including images, CSS and other resources. IIS by default only processes specific extensions (e.g., aspx) unless you tell it otherwise through configuration. Paths like '/content/images/yourimage.jpg' should work just fine...I suspect it's something amiss in your IIS configuration.
Another possibility which I've run into is any custom ISAPI filters you may have installed on the IIS server (e.g., ISAPI_rewrite). It's easy to set up rules in its configuration that lead to some very unexpected results.
