IIS 7 on Win 2008 R2 does not display images by default

Question

I have some images hosted on the Default Web Site on IIS 7 but when i attempt to browse them IIS blocks the images. Help me please! ))

Unfortunately no. I used a few different browsers and it happens only on Win 2008 R2. — Dmitrii, Aug 05 '10 at 11:45

This might be the solution:

Check the Static Content checkbox under World Wide Web Services / Common Http Features.

Here is a page with a screenshot:

Static Content was not selected by default, and who knew that was a thing? :-p – RJ Lohan Apr 09 '16 at 21:35

I found that, with a .NET 4.0 site, the following entry in the web.config caused my images to not get served up:

  <system.webServer>
     <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"/>
  </system.webServer>

Removing the runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true" solved the problem for me.

In my case the feature was already installed. What solved the problem was:

Uncheck the Static Content checkbox under World Wide Web Services / Common Http Features, then restart the server
Check the Static Content checkbox under World Wide Web Services / Common Http Features.

In your IIS find RequestFiltering. Then right mouse button "Open Feature" And look throw file extensions that are not allowed to download.

I had this issue and IIS was configured properly.

The problem was permissions in Windows.

Basically I copied over the Inetpub/wwwroot permissions to the directory I was using and it started working again.

Now I started thinking, images in the website didn’t show also! I didn’t know whether this was a DB/code issue or related to not showing the CSS, well, maybe something is wrong with IIS installation, right? Well, exactly!!!
