CSS folder not found on IIS .net core wwwroot

Question

Somehow I decided to build my web API and client separately after several hours failed to combine .net core 2.2 with vue+vuetify.

I build the client using Vue CLI, with this config:

module.exports = {
  publicPath: process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' ? '/joblist/' : '/',
}

Then place the content of dist folder to wwwroot folder on .net core project, I use below code to enable UseStaticFiles :

public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env)
{
    if (env.IsDevelopment())
    {
        app.UseDeveloperExceptionPage();
    }
    else
    {
        app.UseHsts();
    }

    app.UseDefaultFiles();
    app.UseStaticFiles();
    app.UseMvc();
}

Everything looks perfect when I debug with APP URL set to http://localhost:49602/joblist . But somehow when I publish to my Server, which is myserver/joblist , the server can't serve EVERYTHING placed inside wwwroot/css folder, so the site looks ugly.

At first, I thought the problem is the wwwroot path or something like that, but I can browse to wwwroot/js folder perfectly, so I try to rename wwwroot/css folder to wwwroot/notcss , the site works perfectly this time.

Can anybody help me with this problem?

UPDATE:

• The wwwroot/css and wwwroot/js is perfectly exist on the server.
• I can open any file inside wwwroot/js folder but can not open any file inside wwwroot/css folder.
• For now, I use a workaround by creating a hard link named wwwroot/notcss (can be any) then replace any /css/* reference in index.html file to /notcss/*

UPDATE 2

Here is the error I received on the browser when browse on one of any file in CSS folder

HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found

There must be any some misscongured config, try to browse to C:\\Windows\\System32\\inetsrv\\config on your server, looks for a file named applicationHost.config open the file then search for css text. if you see some suspicious config just delete it, don't forget to backup it first.
