ASP .NET not loading CSS

Question

I have a similiar problem as the user here: Asp.NET not applying my CSS files

but when adding the code below to my web.config nothing happens.

    <location path="css">
        <system.web>
            <authorization>
                <allow users="*" />
            </authorization>
        </system.web>
    </location>

The css file is still not loading. When I try to open it in a web browser by viewing the source, it opens a blank page with the correct URL (http://localhost/css/style.css). The only time when css is applied, is when I run the application from Visual Studio.

My web.config file is

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

</configuration>

Can you please confirm if your css file path is correct on web.config? i.e. <location path="css">, I mean if css folder is not inside any other folder — M005

Yes, the path is correct. It must be something with IIS on my computer. Some setting or something. Because I copied the source data to another IIS server and it works fine there. — Kiki

not sure what file structure you may have setup, but it's worth pointing out that your location node does not have the root folder noted:

<location path="css">

Try

<location path="~/css">

Or however you have it set up. Failing that, assuming you have a site.master and a bundle.config you can always add the css file there.

Hope it helps, Apex
