Hi:

I added an image to the layout.master file under the Data\Sites\1\Skins\[MyTheme] folder.  The first page of my site includes the image. However, if I add a new page, the image disappears. The space is there but no image. It just has that red rectangle where there should be an image.  This is not happening on the development server inside Visual Studio, just when I'm hosting inside IIS 7.5 on Windows Web Server 2008 R2.

Hi:

Like this:

ImageUrl="~/Data/Sites/1/skins/[MyTheme]/[MyImages]/home_icon.bmp"

I have the same problem with all images, even my background image won't show up. I have cleared the cache many times to verify I have the current page.  This is only happening in IIS 7.5. In VS 2010, everything is fine.

I just took an existing skin and changed the image files to my liking.  I added the extra directory [MyImages] but other than that the directory is an exact copy of an existing skin with the image files changed.

Also - just map to it as a normal image (ex:<img src="/Data/Sites/1/skins/[MyTheme]/[MyImages]/home_icon.png">), and you'll find that it works just fine.

Joe - thanks for posting this; I remembered it (vaguely), but couldn't find an example quickly (too much multitasking today)!

Is the image in the same folder as the layout.master?

Hi:

I need to add that everything is working fine inside VS 2010. It's just when I make a request from IIS 7.5 on a server the images won't show up.

Hi:

Joe, you warned me not to use mapping like http://servername/MyPage/Default.aspx.  I created a new site and DID NOT use the type of mapping you warned me against and the images are showing up now.
