Why could a new IIS7 install be showing blank pages for all files?

  • 772

I've tried to browse to .html, .png, .css, .txt files, but the page just comes up blank. I have tried browsing from other machines - same issue. Also (may be unrelated) there are no log files where I expect them to be: C:\inetpub\logs -- it only contains 1 empty wmsvc dir. Any ideas?

    This occurs when "Static Content" is not checked in add/remove features under the IIS node.

    • Open Control Panel
    • Click Programs and Features
    • Click Turn Windows features on or off
    • Check "Static Content" in Internet Information Services > World Wide Web Services > Common HTTP Features
