    No theme/skin applied to the pages after publishing to IIS server

    Hello,

    I just started Umbraco and trying to understand about the product. My current issue is that the website is not published correctly from Visual Studio solution. I first received "No physical template file..." error and found out that some of folders were not published to the production server. So I included those folders and now I can see the page.

    However, there is another problem. The theme/skins doesn't apply to the page so it is shown as plain text. I even tried to copy/paste entire solution to the production server but the result is the same.

    I didn't modify anything. I was just trying to play how to deploy new website from the starter kit web site. And, I am stuck here.

    Can anyone help me?

    Thank you,

    Visual Studio 2017 Community Edition

    Windows 2012 R2 Web Server

    Microsoft SQL Server 2016

    Hi Young

    From the screenshot I would say that you didn't publish styles and maybe js files.

    Can you check css and js folders on the server?

    Thanks,

    Alex

    Thanks for replying.

    I copied everything from development machine to the server. So there shouldn't be any missing folder or files.

    Since the original post was my first post, it took me a while to get it approved by mod and I had no access the the post until now.

    • UPDATE *

    If I published and configured as IIS Web Application, the pages looks like the original post, but the admin pages look and work fine.

    If I published and configured as IIS Website, then everything works fine.

    So I am good now. But, I am still wondering why it doesn't work as Web Application, but it works as Website. I evaluated DotNetNuke before Umbraco, and it didn't have this issue.

    Thanks for your time,

    I think the problem is that not all folders were included in the project when you run web application.

    Can you share what folders were included?

    You need to include files/folders to your project:

    App_browsers
App_Plugins
umbraco
umbraco_client
config\splashes
css
js
media
scripts

    Those folders are included. I doubt that I missed anything because I copied entire folders except App_Data to the IIS server.

    What I found was that it seems that the style/script/media paths are not populated correctly on the pages with Web Application setup.

    For example, if the link is http://localhost/umbraco4, the web application is looking those items on http://localhost/js, http://localhost/css... because the master page contains following path.

        <!-- CSS -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/fanoe.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/css/style.css">

    if I change to 

        <!-- CSS -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/bootstrap.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/fanoe.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="css/style.css">

    or

        <!-- CSS -->
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/umbraco4/css/bootstrap.min.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/umbraco4/css/fanoe.css">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="/umbraco4/css/style.css">

    it worked.

    Same goes to other links (java & media). Once I changed the links, it seems to be working. But, I rather configure as website so that I don't need to change those links once I published.

    Again, I appreciate your help.
