IIS path issue when using virtual directory

Question

My Internal website is hosted on IIS server. I have added a virtual directory

/Resources

with physical path \\\\svr-dc\\Images\\Technical\\Done\\Resources I have given the right path credentials.

When i type http://intraweb/internaldb/Resources//blue%20shaft.png in the browser I can see the image. But when my application loads it tries to access the following URL http://intraweb/Resources//blue%20shaft.png I am clearly missing something very simple here.

I extract the image by doing query from my SQL database and calling @Html.Raw(ViewBag.Body) in my View to display the content. Everything is displayed as it should be with the exception of the image.

Answer 1

You should convert your virtual directory into application. Right click on the virtual directory and select 'Convert to application'. Then IIS will serve webrequests related to that application.
