Images not Rendering on IIS7 Running ASP.NET MVC App

  • 772

The site 63.208.1.26/FreightRateCentral is not rendering images. Chrome reports HTTP 404 for each of them. This is a fresh install of Windows 2008 R2 and IIS 7. At first, I thought that it was a .NET framework issues, but I ensured that the application pool is running 4.x. Then, I checked IIS Request Filtering, but .jpg and .png extensions are not being blocked. The deployed site files are in a subfolder under wwwroot. What other issues may be causing the site from rendering the images correctly? Thanks for your help and guidance!

    This is, as Chrome correctly reports, a path issue.

    The HTML markup says, for example:

    <ul class="payment-listing">
                            <li>
                                <a href="JavaScript:void(0);" title="Visa">
                                    <img src="/Content/NewImages/img-visa.png" alt="Visa" width="49" height="29" />
                                </a>
                            </li>
                            <li>
                                <a href="JavaScript:void(0);" title="Master Card">
                                    <img src="/Content/NewImages/img-master-card.jpg" alt="Master Card" width="49" height="29" />
                                </a>
                            </li>
                            <li>
                                <a href="JavaScript:void(0);" title="Card">
                                    <img src="/Content/NewImages/img-card.jpg" alt="Card" width="49" height="29" />
                                </a>
                            </li>
                            <li>
                                <a href="JavaScript:void(0);" title="Discover">
                                    <img src="/Content/NewImages/img-discover.jpg" alt="Discover" width="49" height="29" />
                                </a>
                            </li>
                        </ul>

    The correct path is http://63.208.1.26/FreightRateCentral/Content/NewImages/. In other words, either take the first slash off the img src tag (<img src="Content/NewImages/img-master-card.jpg">) or add the FreightRateCentral directory (<img src="/FreightRateCentral/Content/NewImages/img-master-card.jpg").
