Links are broken if run from Visual Studio (http://localhost:3683/MyWebsite/)

Does anyone know how to fix this problem?

I even tried downloading the source (4.7.1) and put the fix in this function

        public string EnsureMasterPageSyntax(string masterPageContent)
        {
            replaceElement(ref masterPageContent, "?UMBRACO_GETITEM", "umbraco:Item", true);
            replaceElement(ref masterPageContent, "?UMBRACO_GETITEM", "umbraco:Item", false);

            // Parse the design for macros
            replaceElement(ref masterPageContent, "?UMBRACO_MACRO", "umbraco:Macro", true);
            replaceElement(ref masterPageContent, "?UMBRACO_MACRO", "umbraco:Macro", false);

            // Parse the design for load childs
            masterPageContent = masterPageContent.Replace("<?UMBRACO_TEMPLATE_LOAD_CHILD/>", getAspNetMasterPageContentContainer()).Replace("<?UMBRACO_TEMPLATE_LOAD_CHILD />", getAspNetMasterPageContentContainer());
            // Parse the design for aspnet forms
            getAspNetMasterPageForm(ref masterPageContent);
            masterPageContent = masterPageContent.Replace("</?ASPNET_FORM>", "</form>");
            // Parse the design for aspnet heads
            masterPageContent = masterPageContent.Replace("</ASPNET_HEAD>", String.Format("<head id=\"{0}Head\" runat=\"server\">", Alias.Replace(" ", "")));
            masterPageContent = masterPageContent.Replace("</?ASPNET_HEAD>", "</head>");

            // This is my fix attempt, it doesn't work
            string appPath = HttpContext.Current.Request.ApplicationPath;
            appPath = appPath.EndsWith("/") ? appPath : appPath + "/";
            masterPageContent = masterPageContent.Replace("src=\"/", "src=\"" + appPath).Replace("href=\"/", "href=\"" + appPath);

            return masterPageContent;
        }

and rebuild it and copy the dlls into my website, but nothing changed. (I don't really know what I am doing here)

Anyone else experiencing this problem or know the solution?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Hardi,

I think the probelm is that you are running the site from a Virtual Directory. It is possible to configure Umbraco to run from a VD, but it's probably much more straight forward and easier to setup if you just run it as a root website. You can just setup a site in IIS, and point it to the folder containing the web file and run it that way.

Cheers

Matt
