Question

I have placed CSS and images in the Content folder.

All works fine in VS2010, but when I deployed to IIS 7.5, I am unable to load CSS and image files from the Content folder. But I can load scripts from Content\Scripts. If I put the files in the root folder, however, I am able to access.

I have done the following:

• Make sure IIS has the serve static content role
• Make sure the mapping
  for static file exists
• Add the IIS_USR permission to the folder
  (application and both Content)
• Making sure to use absolute URL i.e.
  @<link href = "@Url.Content("~/content/style.css")" rel="stylesheet"
type = "text/css" media="screen"/>

Those do not fix the problem.

What else can I do?

Answer 1

It turns out that there was another virtual folder in the site called Content.

We changed the name of the virtual path and the content loaded properly.
