Won't work on IIS 7.5 Classic Mode

[dgo.po...@gmail.com]

I've been reading previous threads, people having similar problems to get it to work under IIS 7.5, in Classic Mode.

In my web.config, I added <add verb="*" path="*.less" type="dotless.Core.LessCssHttpHandler, dotless.Core" validate="false" /> to system.web >> httpHandlers, and <add name=".LESS" preCondition="integratedMode" verb="GET,HEAD" path="*.less" type="dotless.Core.LessCssHttpHandler, dotless.Core" /> to system.webServer >> handlers, but it gives an "The requested content appears to be script and will not be served by the static file handler" error.

If I add <mimeMap fileExtension=".less" mimeType="text" /> to staticContent, the error goes away, but the .less won't be transformed.

Appreciate any help!

I saw in another thread where someone would compile all the .less files at application startup, and write the .css files.

Is this the way to go on Classic Mode?

You need to add a handler mapping in the IIS config.

Site -> Handler Mappings -> Add Script Map
Request path: *.less
Executable: c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET
\Framework64\v4.0.30319\aspnet_isapi.dll
Name: Less CSS
