ScriptResource.axd 404 not found

Question

I have this WebApp in .NET 3.5, using MS Ajax and jQuery UI. It works fine locally but when I publish it on the statging server it gives a 'Sys' undefined javaScript error. Furhter investigation, I found that the .axd files are not loaded and it is a 404. I checked the web.confing and I have the necessary entries under the . I googled and read every post and could not find a solution for it. Is there anyone who has run in to a prblme like this before?
