bundle and minification return 404

  1. Package System.Web.Optimizationhas Been Installed

  2. bundle has been configured as below

    using System.Web.Optimization;
public class BundleConfig
{
    public static void RegisterBundles(BundleCollection bundles)
    {
        bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/Content/themes/base/js").Include("~/Scripts/Site.js"));
        bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/Content/themes/base/css").Include("~/Content/Site.css"));

    }
}

  3. add this to Layout.cshtml

    @System.Web.Optimization.Scripts.Render("~/Content/themes/base/js")
@System.Web.Optimization.Styles.Render("~/Content/themes/base/css")

I suddenly received 404 errors on one of my production servers for my sites script bundle resource.

After a bit of searching I found this blogpost that suggest the following solution that should be used in web.config in the section system.webServer that worked great.

<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true">
    <remove name="BundleModule" />
    <add name="BundleModule" type="System.Web.Optimization.BundleModule" />
</modules>

Make sure that your virtual path for your bundle Content/themes/base/js does not relate to a real path. Generally we use ~/bundles in our virtual path for this reason.

Example

public static void RegisterBundles(BundleCollection bundles)
{
    bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/bundles/base/js").Include("~/Scripts/Site.js"));
    bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/bundles/base/css").Include("~/Content/Site.css"));

}
