copied!<p>I hope the continuation of this thread conveys a willingness to make sure this problem doesn't drive anyone off the cliff. There's a lot of documentation in various forums about solving this issue on Vista but I couldn't find any likewise articles for 2K8. As indicated in this <a href="http://forums.iis.net/p/1143592/1849083.aspx#1849083" rel="nofollow noreferrer">forum post</a> I was able to fix the issue on a Vista machine. Alas, a like execution failed to resolve the matter on 2K8. </p> <p>I had verified that the StaticFileHandler had been included in the web.config <a href="http://www.apijunkie.com/APIJunkie/blog/post/2007/11/Breaking-changes-in-ASPNet-20-HTTP-Handlers-when-moving-from-IIS5-on-Windows-2000-to-IIS6-on-Windows-2003.aspx" rel="nofollow noreferrer">as suggested in this blog post at apijunkie.com</a>. Still, no luck. </p> <p>Clarifying <em>no luck, here</em> - My server-side functionality was perfect. All MVC routes work like a champ. Just all CSS and JS rendering failed. When browser pointed directly at CSS or JS files resulting page was an ASP.NET 404 and not the <em>traditional</em> 404 error page. </p> <p>So I went into the IIS7 Manager and into the Handler Mappings dialog. I added a new handler that specified the System.Web.StaticFileHandler type and gave it an extension of *.CSS. Then I repeated that for *.JS, *.PNG, and *.GIF files. When I refreshed the site in the browser, everything rendered perectly. The screen shots below demonstrate this process. </p> <p>The Handler Mappings Window: </p> <p><img src="https://bradygstorage.blob.core.windows.net/images/managed-handler.png" alt="handler mappings"></p> <p>Adding a new Managed Handler</p> <p><img src="https://bradygstorage.blob.core.windows.net/images/add-managed-handler.png" alt="alt text"></p> <p>This resolved the problem, and now I have a perfectly functioning MVC app hosted in W2K. Time for a Guinness. </p>
