New Files In IIS virtual directory return file not found

I have a virtual directory in IIS. and I added a new file to the physical directory that the virtual directory points to.

but when trying to access this file through the virtual directory - I get file not found (404).

I tried to restart the web site and the IIS Server - but it didn't help.

the file is a css file.

You should generally put your static files under the Content folder in an MVC application. By default, this folder will be configured to skip the MVC routing rules. Google for MVC Content folder for more information.

There may be permissions error on accessing the file so.

First set the permissions to full control over read /write..(Options->Security->...)
