images, css and js files are not being loaded in my application

Question

This one is killing me, neither of those files are loaded in my application: images, css, js, everything was working fine before re-installing my PC, so I guess is configuration issue with IIS, since i haven't touch code and works well in a PC of a co-worker.

When seeing the HTML in firebug I see this

Reload the page to get source for: http://localhost/Common/Scripts/jquery-1.4.3.min.js

this is the code

<script src="@Url.Content("~/Scripts/jquery-1.4.3.min.js")" type="text/javascript"></script>

I am running Windows 7 and IIS 7.5, it's an Asp.Net MVC 3 Application.

I have tried the following

• uninstall and re-install IIS
• added read permission on file system to IUSR and IIS_USRS
• In the application in IIS, in feature anonymous authentication, I selected "application pool indentity".

Nothing happens, maybe someone has another idea of what's happening.

Or at least point me a direction to better understand the reason of the problem and I will update the question with the feedback.

help will be appreciated... and rewarded :)

thanks

Answer 1

I found the problem.

I didn't mark Static Content in features for IIS.

In Windows Features go to, Internet Information Services > World Wide Web Services > Common HTTP Features > Static Content

Under Application Development Features I selected Asp.Net it selected automatically everything else, I wonder why It didn't select this option too.

Hope it helps to someone else.
