IIS 500 error - failed to execute URL on .ttf, .svg and .woff font files?

iis-7, mime-types, truetype, woff

Solution

Oh hey, I figured it out almost immediately afterward. I need to add the following lines to web.config:

<httpHandlers>
      <add verb="GET" path="*.woff" type="System.Web.StaticFileHandler" />
      <add verb="GET" path="*.ttf" type="System.Web.StaticFileHandler" />
      <add verb="GET" path="*.svg" type="System.Web.StaticFileHandler" />
      ...

Problem

I'm trying to deploy a web application which references http://fortawesome.github.io/Font-Awesome/ Everything works great locally, but when I deploy I receive several 500 errors. ``` > GET > http://localhost/csweb/Content/font_awesome/font/fontawesome-webfont.ttf > 500 (Internal Server Error) > GET > http://localhost/csweb/Content/font_awesome/font/fontawesome-webfont.woff > 500 (Internal Server Error) > GET > http://localhost/csweb/Content/font_awesome/font/fontawesome-webfont.svg#fontawesomregular > 500 (Internal Server Error) ``` A quick search of StackOverflow lead me to this thread: Why is @font-face throwing a 404 error on woff files? as such I added to my web.config file: ``` <system.webServer> <staticContent> <mimeMap fileExtension=".woff" mimeType="application/x-font-woff" /> <mimeMap fileExtension=".svg" mimeType="image/svg+xml" /> </staticContent> ... ``` I see IIS reflecting these changes after calling iisreset, but no effect was seen on the deployed application. I'm not finding any other obvious answers -- anyone know anything I don't?
