CSS not working when deploying

mpgrahn · June 11th, 2012, 02:59 PM

When deploying my website to another server....my stylesheets are not working.

The style sheets work within Visual Studio but when deploying to a server under IIS / win7 they do not.

I have all permissions set correctly ( I believe) where my source code is residing. The default website is pointing to that directory location. When I render the page remotely the web pages are not formatted as is it in my development server.

Hi there,

Do you have a link to the live site so I can take a look?

unfortunately...my website is internal

I simply used your Try It Out example on page 5 and user the Try It Out steps on pages 707 to 719 to deploy it and run it under a windows 7 server.

here is the view source of the web page deployed on the server...

Code:

the directory structure is the same as you outlined on page 708.....I used the Copy Web Site Option in the vs2010. Configured the default website in IIS to point to the directory structure where the source is located....

What happens if you try to access the style sheet in the browser directly? And does that file exist on disk?

when keying in http://isd-dl-069/default.aspx

the login.aspx within the Account directory gets accessed.
http://isd-dl-069/Account/Login.aspx...les%2fSite.css

yes, the Site.css file is located in the Styles directory...

I got it working by putting "Everyone" with read access for the Release Directory and all it's sub-directories. I had the IIS AppPool\ASP.Net v4.0 read access to the same, but for some reason that was not good enough....any thoughts? Something to do with my network?

It looks like you're running in Windows authentication mode. Check out the chapter on security to see how to use Forms Authentication. If you want to keep using Windows authentication, your users need to access to the files on disk because the iis process runs under their account....

The authentication mode is set to Forms in the web.config.

Is there a setting on the website within IIS for Windows Authentication?

No, your web.config should take precedence.

Did you try adding the <location> element?
