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.
