    Client Dependency woes - refresh cache?

    I have just completed a website and moved from a temporary URL to the lvie URL.

    Since doing so I have come up with the familiar unformatted umbraco login page. I have deleted the ClientDependancy directory to force a refresh of the cache but a new directory is not being created.

    The only way I can now access the Umbraco back-end is if I make debug="true" in my web.config to disable client dependancy but this is not ideal for a live site...

    Any ideas on what else I can try?

    Thanks

    Paul

    Change the version number in the client dependency config file, that'll server it out on a new URL so even browser cache wont have it

    Thanks fo the reply - I have tried that but there was no difference. I have deleted the ClientDependancy folder. Should a new folder be created?

    I can add images to the media section (which creates a new fodler as well) so I'm pretty sure the permissions are set up correctly...

    So you've checked that the user who owns the AppPool has full access to the App_Data folder?

    A new CD folder will only be created when the AppPool recycles.

    Hi Slace, thanks for your help. It seems CD was only a symtom of my problems and not the cause.

    I went back through the web.config file and the entire handlers section was missing from the <system.webServer> section. This section was present on my dev machine so the only way I think it could have been deleted was when I added a mime type extension through my hosts (SoftSys) interface. This added a new <staticContent> section to the <system.webServer> section in the web.config. And it appears to have removed the handlers section at the same time so something to watch out for the future.

    Anyway, all good now :)

    Thanks

    Paul
