ASP.NET MVC in subfolder / virtual directory / routing / domain problem

Question

Yesterday I posted the following question, but did not get a useful answer. Maybe I was not clear enough, I'm really sorry.

After hours of searching here and searching the Internet with Bing, I could not solve the following Problem. This should not be a "heavy" problem.

here is my problem

• I have a domain like http://example.com that points to a virtual directory in my web space, for example http://myprovider.com/VirtualDirectoryName/ .

• Folder structure on my web space (off course) like this

root

  bin VirtualDirectoryName bin Content Scripts Views Web.config Global.asax 

If I call "http://www.domain.com" now, I get the site without CSS and the link "http://www.domain.com/VirtualDirectoryName/".

I used the standard and almost empty standard "Internet application". So the default routing and all links are created using @ Html.ActionLink.

Please help me, I've tried so many things, but I can't get it to work. In my local environment, I can affect the IIS settings, but (not in the know) i do not have access to the IIS settings of my host.

btw, the provider of the hosting provider is an ASP.NET discount.

Thanks everyone!

Answer 1

The problem was a simple routing error. My application was a simple folder in iis, not a virtual directory / application. After installing the folder in the application, the problem disappeared.

Answer 2

How do you link css files in your html?

If you refer to like this:

 <link href="../../Content/Style.css" rel="stylesheet" type=\"text/css\" /> 

It may not look in the correct directory. Try referencing it like this:

 <link href="/Content/Style.css" rel="stylesheet" type=\"text/css\" /> 

So you are referencing it from the root.

A good way to check is to use the "net" tab in firebug, this will show if they are loading, and if not, where exactly does it try to find them.

Answer 3

Link your css and javascript this way (using ResolveClientUrl):

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

Answer 4

I think you can solve it using web.config in the root, as suggested here How to place an ASP.NET MVC site in a subfolder
