MVC bundeling : Err 403

Question

Using VS\'12, Asp.net - C# - InternetApplication Template, KendoUI, EF Code First

This is my MVC BundleConfig.cs

Answer 1

Try changing

bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/Content/kendo").Include(
            "~/Content/kendo/kendo.common.*",
            "~/Content/kendo/kendo.default.*"));

to

bundles.Add(new StyleBundle("~/bundles/css/kendo").Include(
            "~/Content/kendo/kendo.common.*.css",
            "~/Content/kendo/kendo.default.*.css"));

and then

@Styles.Render("~/Content/kendo")

to

@Styles.Render("~/bundles/css/kendo")

Answer 2

it's because you're using the same 'alias' (/Content/kendo) for the stylebundle as the already existing directory.

once you use another alias (/Content/css/kendo/ or /Content/whatevernonexistingdir) your problem is solved.

but be aware: the 'root' of the css is changed, so when using (background) images in your css which are pointing to subfolders, take this into account!
