Images broken on fresh install

Hi,

I've just installed KenticoCMS. I think installation went well, I can see the front-end and all images are loaded.

The problem is in the site backend, all images are broken. I've checked and those folders/archives do exist. I've also checked permissions but I'm not sure I can discard this issue completely.

Any clues on how to troubleshoot this?

Thanks,
Ign

RE:Images broken on fresh install

Hello.

From this description it seems to be problem can be related to IIS / Identity permissions. You can simply test it by running this site on Visual Studio build-in web server. If you can see images then, is it clear that issue is IIS / Identity permissions related. Can you try it? Also please make sure that account / identity you are using have proper permissions. You can also try to switch Pipeline mode to opposite value (Classic vs. Integrated) – just to give a shot. Thank you.

Best Regards,

Radek, thanks for your reply.

I've started from a clean state again and installed Kentico.
I'm not sure how to make it run under VS, but I did try to install on the root, on Classic mode.

After installing I follow the web installer to this address: http://localhost/default.aspx but I get an error page:

Server error in '/' Application.

I'm very rusty on my IIS and ASP.NET, I'd deeply appreciate some pointers on where to poke around for a successful install.

Thanks,
Ignacio

Hello.

As for how to run it under VS, it is very easy. You just need to install VS Express edition on your machine (Express due to fact this edition is for free), open your web site (web project) via CMSSolution.sln file (right in the root of your project folder) and then choose your site in Solution explorer and choose “View in browser” option.
Anyway, as for error message you are receiving on IIS, could you please take a snapshot of it and send it to support@kentico.com? I would like to see it to get more details. In your e-mail, refer to this forum post, please. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

Best Regards,
Radek Macalik

RE:Images broken on fresh install

I had the same problem. To your root web.config, within the <system.web> tags, enter the following line:

<system.web>
<httpRuntime requestValidationMode="2.0" />
<pages validateRequest="false">
</pages>
</system.web>
</configuration>

You can only have one httpRuntime command, so add the requestValidationMode="2.0"
command within the existing one.

That fixed it for me!
