Question

I have deployed a simple .NET MVC application on appharbor that implements bootstrap and less. The less loads fine on my localhost instance when i run it, however, when i push it to appharbor i get a 404 on bootstrap.less.

Has anyone run into this before that might be able to tell me why?

I have checked the buildout and the less directory/file structure exists on the deployment.

The appharbor url is http://appharbor-bootstrap.apphb.com/ if anyone wants to check out what im seeing.

This is what it is supposed to look like

You probably have to configure the mime-type mapping in your web.config. There are links to details here and here.

<system.webServer>
    <staticContent>
        <mimeMap fileExtension=".less" mimeType="text/css" />
    </staticContent>
</system.webServer>
