Script files returning 404 Error.

Question

Hi, I'm using ASP.Net and whenever I create a script file or try to include a script file like jQuery they aren't working. I am doing just a regular localhost server and none of the scripts are working. Upon further examination using firebug I look at whats being referenced in those scripts and it shows html code for a 404 error. I know the scripts and files are there and I can navigate directly to them in the browser but for some reason I can't reference them in my page.

Here is a screenshot:

Answer 1

My bet is that the relative reference to the script:

../script/jquery-1.4.2-min.js

breaks because your current page is in a directory where it won't work. (maybe caused by a rewritten URL).

Can you show

• What URL you are on
• What absolute directory the scripts reside in?

Answer 2

The path to the scripts file is wrong - there is ".." in it. You should specify path on the server, not on the file system.

Answer 3

The problem is rather straightforward to me.

The webpage: http://localhost:49464/Seth-Duncan.com/Main.aspx
The jquery: http://localhost:49464/scripts/jquery-1.4.2-min.js

Unsurprisingly, there doesn't seem to be a jquery script there. Most likely, it would work fine on the production server.
