I have migrated an Umbraco install to a new server.
However, I now get a 500 server error whenever I try and open a media file.
I can upload files successfully to the root ‘media’ folder but I cannot seem to then navigate to these files.
Does anyone know what could be causing this?
As other poeple have mentioned, ideally we need to see the error message. Additionally, can you check if your server can serve up files of that type from other location? If so then it’s a permissions issue (check the permissions on the old server match the new one, remember to give read, write and modify permissions to “IIS_IUSRS”, “Network Service” and “IUSR” Windows accounts), but if you cannot serve any files of that type at all then you need to add the MIME extensions (added in IIS – see here)
