Login page not rendered correctly IIS

Question

I want to run my page on IIS , I used default template in VS 2010 (NET4) (with prebuild web forms for login and password). Authentication works fine and I get redirected to Default.aspx (which is displayed correctly). Problem is when I first go to the site I get this start login (accounts/login.aspx) screen (jpg in attach) which isn't rendered correctly. Why is that?

Once authenticated all forms are rendered fine (even accounts/login.aspx)

I don't get this problem when use classic web development server from VS2010

Thanks in advance

take a look at these articles: http://ddkonline.blogspot.com/2010/08/fix-iis-7-not-rendering-css-files.html http://forums.iis.net/t/1143592.aspx http://gurustop.net/blog/2009/10/12/funny-problem-windows-7-iis-7-5-images-css-not-showing/ apparently i was able to replicate the issue on my machine with that settings turned off and then on. Also can you try changing the CSS path to relative path since it is in the folder like this:

I have attached the settings from my machine. The tick mark means everything beneath that is checked.

Mata · Answer

They are already checked. But can you please post default settings for these services (what's on and what's off). I was fooling around with them and they aren't definetly default now.

I was able to replicate this on my machine: Please check the following to solve the issue: 1. click on start-> type in the search box "turn windows features on or off" 2. select the Turn Windows features on or off application. 3. Click on Internet Information Services --> World Wide Web Services --> Common HTTP features, and make sure that Static Content and WebDEV Publishing is checked mark. 4. Click ok, it will make the changes. 5. Clear cache, Close IIS and open again and navigate to your website and browse the default.aspx Let me know how it goes.

I recreated app in IIS, .NET 4 is set, same thing, no luck.

The redirection should no matter for the UI issue, i tried to view the Account/Login.aspx individually and also from web site and it was rendered correctly on my machine.

Mata · Answer

It seems (by screenshots) when you go to this (initial) page default.aspx file opens for you. How is that? It should contain security and you should be redirected from default.aspx to login page. When I go to the default.aspx I get redirected to accounts/login.aspx web form, as it should, only problem is that my page isn't rendered right.

Javeed M Shaikh · Answer

This looks ok to me, can you send your entire solution I will try to setup the same on my local machine IIS and see how it works on my machine. This will help me in debugging the issue easier.

Mata · Answer

I get redirected to a classic default.aspx - Whole website is from template Web site in VS 2010 I don't know why I get this wrong rendered start page, but once I autheticate all pages are "normal" (even login.aspx) page)

Javeed M Shaikh · Answer

Hi Mata, Please check if your CSS is referenced properly in the Login.aspx page, or is there any dyamic code execution, try deleting cache. Can you also attach the page which you get after sucessful login.
