deploying my web site

pskaanning · December 27th, 2012, 12:06 PM

hi i have followed your book(Beginning asp.net 4) all the way true, i did all the things about IIS, an when i write localhost, i get the site but alle the stylling is gone,
is there an explanation to that.

An they don't write anything about how i set it up, so i kan open the site over the internet from an other computer,

please help:)

Hi there,

Could this be a permissions issue? To see what the issue is get a copy of Fiddler (www.fiddler2.com) and then browse to your site. Fiddler will then tell you why the styles files are missing.

I don't understand what this means...

Hi Pskaaning,

I suppose you are saying:

# Nor is the hosting company telling you how to overcome the situation in order to make your site accessible for users(you from any machine).

Answer:

# Please follow what Imar has suggested in order to know the missing files.

# Plus do also check meanwhile that all the necessary files are successfully deployed to the host server.

Hi Pskaaning

As you suggest that there is no css file so have you checked that your style-sheet is present on the server(web).

>> and when I look at the code it look as if there is no css code at all

What do you mean with this? Your CSS should be in a separate file, so what does "no CSS" mean? Is the file empty? Is no file returned? Is the HTML missing a link to the CSS file? Fiddler should tell you this; it should list missing files (a 404) in red.

>> I thoght that i was able to use my pc as sever so that e.g you vil be able to open it from your pc

Technically, yes. However, your PC then also needs to be accessible over the Internet which is unlikely.

If you want our help, please provide more information, such as:

1. The way you set up the site in IIS
2. The exact address in the browser's address bar
3. The final HTML for the first page in the browser
4. What you get when you browse to the URL from the site (from step 2) including the CSS file (e.g. something like http://localhost/App_Data/Monochrome.css where http://localhost/ is the URL for your site from step2)

Cheers,

Imar

Your static files (such as .css files) return zero bytes. This may indicate you haven't installed the static file handler:
