Umbraco throwing 404 errors on resources - IIS Express

I can run the Umbraco site, get to the umbraco.aspx page, but all css, js, images that attempt to get loaded when you log in return 404 (Not Found) errors.

The site is running with its own AppPool with identity set to: ApplicationPoolIdentity I have verified that the folders have the correct permissions. Umbraco site offers a few scripts to set the permissions. I have manually set some of the resource folders/files to test unsuccessfully.

I can do the following:

  1. I can open the file via folder path in the browser i.e. c:\DirectoryName\umbraco\css\filename.css
  2. I can open any of the aspx pages in the related directories.

I cannot:

  1. Load the Url to the file http://localhost/umbraco/css/somefilename.css

Example Error CSS file (but same applies for js files and images)

UPDATE I have verified that if I let the site load through Visaul Studio 2010 Development Server, it runs without issue.

I also, created a new IIS site and throw a couple js files out and tried to hit them and also found that I get the same 404 error when browsing to them. So this might be more of an IIS issue (IIS Express) Windows 7.

Solution

  • Turned out to be an issue with IIS and required reinstallation.
