I have an .svg file located in my Microsoft Azure "~/css/fonts/" directory. When I publish the site, all the css and eot files get published, by my one and only .svg file does not.
I've read other SO posts that mentioned that we have to explicitly add mimeMaps to the web.config, so I've updated/Published my web.config with the following:
<system.webServer>
<staticContent>
<remove fileExtension=".svg" />
<remove fileExtension=".eot" />
<remove fileExtension=".woff" />
<mimeMap fileExtension=".svg" mimeType="image/svg+xml" />
<mimeMap fileExtension=".eot" mimeType="application/vnd.ms-fontobject" />
<mimeMap fileExtension=".woff" mimeType="application/x-woff" />
</staticContent>
</system.webServer>
... and then re-Published the specific .svg file, but I get the following error:
Preparing to publish files...
Using ID 'dc2a......' for connections to the remote server.
Using ID 'a2c7......' for connections to the remote server.
Using ID '9720......' for connections to the remote server.
Using ID 'aff7......' for connections to the remote server.
Using ID '4d1d......' for connections to the remote server.
The synchronization is being stopped because the maximum number of sync passes '5' has been exceeded even though all the changes could not be applied. This could occur if there are external changes being made to the destination.
The error above only occurs when I try to upload the .svg file (all other file types that I have do not throw this error.)
Is there anything else that I need to do to publish my .svg file?
Note: I'm using VS2013 Pro to Publish my site to Windows Azure.
I made the mistake of adding the <staticContent> to the web.config located in the Views folder (in my MVC5 proj) instead of placing the <staticContent> in the Web.config file that is located in the root of my project. :\
Once I moved the content to the correct .config, my .svg is now getting Published.
