404 on static content (svg,woff,ttf) on Azure

Question

I am trying to add bootstrap glyphicons-halflings-regular.svg to my web site. Locally everything works fine, but on Azue I have 404 errors:

The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

or when I add below staticContent section to my web.config

<staticContent>     <remove fileExtension=".woff" />     <mimeMap fileExtension=".woff" mimeType="application/x-font-woff" />     <remove fileExtension=".ttf" />     <mimeMap fileExtension=".ttf" mimeType="application/octet-stream" />     <remove fileExtension=".svg" />     <mimeMap fileExtension=".svg" mimeType="image/svg+xml" /> </staticContent> 

I got this error:

The controller for path '/Content/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff' was not found or does not implement IController.

How should I proper configure my ASP.NET site to avoid above errors?

Answer 1

I hit the same problem with .woff file. Solution with adding that extension to web.config works fine:

<configuration>   <system.webServer>     <staticContent>       <mimeMap fileExtension="woff" mimeType="application/font-woff" />   </staticContent> </system.webServer>
