I have had to reinstall windows over the weekend (win 7 ultimate 64 bit), and have reinstalled Visual Studio, specifically VS 2010 Ultimate, along with the Azure SDK, EntityFramework, and some other assorted frameworks.
I ran into some issues trying to test my Azure app after doing so, whereby the role wouldn’t start until I manually enabled IIS, and ran aspnet_regiis. At this point the app will run, and pull up the login page like it’s supposed to, but now neither the css nor javascript files will pull up. For some reason just the basic html loads up, and I can log into my app and proceed to the next page, but that’s about it; as my app relies heavily on ajax I can’t go much further.
If I try to pull up the Content/Site.css file directly (in my browser), I just get a blank file, same with the js file we use. (The server is responding with 200 OK, but then just a blank file)
I’m not really sure what to do, but I will point out that this project/solution did build and work fine before the reinstall, so it shouldn’t be anything code-wise that’s at fault; something in the environment. I do notice that if I pull up my the Content folder in explorer through my deployment in IIS manager, that the Site.css file is there.. so I’m not sure why it wouldn’t be served?
I was tempted to try to reinstall the Azure SDK, but I installed it with the Web Platform Installer v4.0 and I don’t see any way to uninstall using this tool.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance!
As it turns out the issue was again in the Windows Features, although I had enabled IIS / Asp.Net (which enabled a bunch of other features automatically), apparently I still had to manually enable the option ‘IIS/World Wide Web Services/Common HTTP Features/Static Content’.
This allows these static files to be served by IIS.
Thanks for the help guys!
