IIS 7.5 and Razor Site: 500 errors for CSS and JS

Question

For some reason, when I deploy my Razor MVC web site to my Windows 2008 R2 server, I'm getting 500 internal server errors for all CSS and JS. I'm not sure why, because I've done the following:

• Enabled static content in IIS
• Enabled anonymous access, with the default ID being the application pool identity and given that identity read/write permission to the folders
• Ensured my static content handler was setup correctly

What other problems could it be? How can I even debug this to see what the actual error is? Even though I have an Application_Error handler, nothing is getting logged. And IIS logs doesn't give me the error info?

Thanks.

Answer 1

I got 500 errors because I added this below to my web.config. After I removed it, I got passed the error.

<staticContent>
  <mimeMap fileExtension=".svg" mimeType="image/svg+xml" />
</staticContent>
