I can't manage to display my robots.txt file on my website. I have searched many forums and I can't find the specific solution. I need to be able to display it without creating any content in the Umbraco BackOffice, since the file is on the server.
The "robots.txt" file is in dev-page/src/UmbracoProject and when I enter the url http://localhost:44395/robots.txt on loading I get a 404 error.
Exactly what I just said. If you put it in the wwwroot folder you will be able to access it at www.yourdomain.com/robots.txt. Give it a try and see what you get.
I can't see Robots.txt! Help!
Hello everybody! I am new in the Umbraco world.

Hi Hans,
You need to put it in your wwwroot folder. Only stuff in that folder is directly accessible from the web. Hence why css/js files are in there.

Thanks Craig for replying.
The problem is that google robots need the "robots.txt" file and they have to view it at "www.yourDomain.com/robots.txt".
Do you know of any umbraco configuration that would allow me to display this text file?

Thank you so much!
