Changing static files directory in MVC3 causes 404

Question

I'm attempting to set up my own directory structure for serving up static files:

\s (statics)
  \c (css)
  \j (js)
  \i (images)
  etc ...

The issue is that I'm seeing a 404 for this directory when referencing it. When I inspect the file path, it is pointing to the correct location localhost:port/s/c/style.css, but for some reason it can't find the file.

Is there a way that I can make this path available via my Web.config, or possibly through my Global.asax file via routes? I've heard there are performance penalties associated with using routes, so using the Web.config - or an alternative solution - is preferred.

Answer 1

http://localhost:port/s/c/style.css should work without any problems. It seems that you have specified a wrong filename which is the reason for the 404 error.
