I initially installed umbraco with the web installer. I now moved the installation to IIS and I have an interesting problem. The frontend (the website) loads perfectly fine while the backend (console) looks broken when it loads.
Can someone please give me a hint on how to fix this please. I tried various settings in IIS which either completely broke the site or produced the same result, I made sure that the web.config file is the same (apart from my custom configuration) as the vanilla site.
When you move an installation of umbraco, you need to delete the contents of the /App_Data/TEMP/ClientDependency folder. The files that ClientDependency generates are path specific, so if you move it, the dependency files point to the wrong place and the back office UI breaks as a result! Its also worth updating the version number by one in the clientDependency.config file in the /config/ folder as well.
Try deleting those files and updating the version number to see if that sorts out your problem!
Console won't load properly

Hi. There's definitely something wrong with CSS/JavaScript.
First of all a traditional recomendation is to validate permissions of the site's file system.
