404 on static content (svg,woff,ttf) on Azure

I am trying to add bootstrap glyphicons-halflings-regular.svg to my web site. Locally everything works fine, but on Azue I have 404 errors:

The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.

or when I add below staticContent section to my web.config

<staticContent>
    <remove fileExtension=".woff" />
    <mimeMap fileExtension=".woff" mimeType="application/x-font-woff" />
    <remove fileExtension=".ttf" />
    <mimeMap fileExtension=".ttf" mimeType="application/octet-stream" />
    <remove fileExtension=".svg" />
    <mimeMap fileExtension=".svg" mimeType="image/svg+xml" />
</staticContent>

I got this error:

The controller for path '/Content/fonts/glyphicons-halflings-regular.woff' was not found or does not implement IController.

How should I proper configure my ASP.NET site to avoid above errors?

When I put the suggested lines into web.config it didn't work. Instead I put the following lines into Web.config (note the capital letter)

<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <staticContent>
            <mimeMap fileExtension="woff" mimeType="application/font-woff" />
            <mimeMap fileExtension="woff2" mimeType="application/font-woff" /> 
         </staticContent>
    </system.webServer>

I hit the same problem with .woff file. Solution with adding that extension to web.config works fine:

<configuration>
  <system.webServer>
    <staticContent>
      <mimeMap fileExtension="woff" mimeType="application/font-woff" />
  </staticContent>
</system.webServer>

If you are using the continuous deployment on Azure, verify that the "build action" of all the files that you need is Content and not None.

I did not include font files in solution. This caused that publishing website does not contains this files.

Have you fixed the paths in the css file that are referring to the font files? Bootstrap assumes that the css file is inside a css directory and fonts is inside a fonts-directory on the same level as the css-directory.

When you run in Azure, the site is probably running in Release-mode. This means that your css and javascript is minified and bundles. This may break your setup sometimes.

I've done the following setup when including bootstrap in my projects:

Unzip bootstrap files into the /Content directory.

Add the following lines to App_Start/BundleConfig.cs 

bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/Content/bootstrap/css/bundle")
.Include("~/Content/bootstrap/css/bootstrap.css"));
bundles.Add(new ScriptBundle("~/Content/bootstrap/js/bundle")
.Include("~/Content/bootstrap/js/bootstrap.js"));

Add the following lines to View/Shared/_Layout.cshtml

@Styles.Render("~/Content/bootstrap/css/bundle") 
@Scripts.Render("~/Content/bootstrap/js/bundle")

Note that jQuery must be included before the Bootstrap js-bundle.
