Admin .aspx tool is not loading, file is downloaded

Vote:
 

Hi!

Hi have installed a admin tool plugin that is an aspx, works just fine on my developing machine but when I deploy to my test servers the file is not loading, instead the .aspx file is downloaded?
Why is that? All other .aspx files i the Epi admin works just fine so the server can handle .aspx files.

The url for the GUI plugin is like "/modules/myplugin/myfile.aspx" and the link looks just fine in Episerver but when I click it the aspx file gets downloaded?

Any ideas?

Thanks!

I would suggest to compare your dev and production web.config. Looks like one or more handlers are missing

Hi!

Thanks for the tip, that was it!

On the server I found this:

<configuration>
  <system.webServer>
    <handlers>
      <add name="wildcard" path="*" verb="*" type="EPiServer.Web.StaticFileHandler, EPiServer.Framework.AspNet" />
    </handlers>
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>

That one was not in my web.config on dev.

I can see that you have used this in you post about securing a location:

Securing a Static Folder | Episerver Developer Community

And that make sense. Any guess why the original developer har put this in the "main" system.WebServer?

Thanks!

Hi!

Without that line no css is loading, static files, and with that line the plugin does not load. Any ideas why?

Looks like you need this in your production web.config

        <add name="PageHandlerFactory-Integrated-4.0" path="*.aspx" verb="GET,HEAD,POST,DEBUG" type="System.Web.UI.PageHandlerFactory" preCondition="integratedMode,runtimeVersionv4.0" /> 

  <location path="episerver">/<system.webServer>/<handlers>

Almost, I had to add this:

<location path="modules/MyPluginFolder">
    <system.webServer>
      <handlers>
        <clear />
        <add name="PageHandlerFactory-Integrated-4.0" path="*.aspx" verb="GET,HEAD,POST,DEBUG" type="System.Web.UI.PageHandlerFactory" preCondition="integratedMode,runtimeVersionv4.0" />
      </handlers>
    </system.webServer>
  </location>

Thanks for your help!
