Master Site links not working under iis6

Question

ASP MVC 1.0 being hosted on IIS 6.

I set up the wildcard filtering already.

The path ../../site.css and the like in the master page (shared/site.master) do not work when posted to the IIS 6 staging site. I ended up hard coding them to the site.

Works fine on the ASP .Net VS dev server

Answer 1

Could you check the IIS log file to see if/which request is being made?

Answer 2

You should use Url.Content for this, e.g.:

<link href="<%= Url.Content("~/Content/style/Site_Master.css") %>" rel="stylesheet"
    type="text/css" />

The ~ means "the site root", whereever that happens to be.
