This does not work on IIS7.5?

I am still stuck on the stage that static content is not rendered through pages.

I have enabled Static Content through the turn features on/off, but still I cannot get to properly render pages, as it is missing image files, stylesheets and related…

The weird part is that, if I open the standard IIS start page:

http://localhost (works fine – images and styles and related are properly rendered)

http://servername (works fine – images and styles and related are properly rendered; this is on the server and lan clients)

http://publicip (does not render images, styles and related – this was tested from external network)

for some reason my page does exaclty the same as yours did, I can render html pages, or aspx pages, but none of the images or static content is render

any help would be much appreciated! thanks

Awesome! I spent hours surfing the web trying to figure this out, finding multiple forums where someone would have the same problem, then eventually end the thread with “Solved it, thanks” and not post the answer. Funny how a night’s rest and a new search comes up with the answer almost right away.

Thank you. This is what I needed.
Funny that “common features” are not enabled by default.

Nice suggestion… Many people forget to check the Static Content checkbox…

Thanks for the tip! Saved me some time. For other non-Vista users like myself, here’s how you find that dialog:

Click Start -> Control Panel -> Programs and Features -> Turn Windows features on or off

Then drill down into IIS as shown in the image above.

Cheers,

David
