Question

I'm running on a locally installed version of Kiln (Windows 2008 SP2 32-bit, SQL 2008 Express) and whenever I click on a file name from the 'Files @ tip' tab while looking at any repository in Kiln I get a '404 - File or directory not found' error page.

I'm assuming this isn't the expected behaviour - is there anything I can do to help debug the problem?

Answer 1

Which file extensions are protected by .Net are set on the machine level. It seems our servers for Kiln On Demand were configured to allow those extensions, while yours is not. I've opened a bug and we'll make sure and get a fix out in the next update.

In the meantime, you add the following <fileExtensions> section under <security> in your Kiln/web.config to correct the problem:

 <security>
     <requestFiltering>
         <requestLimits maxAllowedContentLength="2147483648" />
+        <fileExtensions>
+            <remove fileExtension=".cs" />
+            <remove fileExtension=".csproj" />
+            <remove fileExtension=".config" />
+            <remove fileExtension=".resx" />
+        </fileExtensions>
     </requestFiltering>
 </security>

(Obviously, exclude the +s.)

If you see any other 404s on specific file types, add them too.
