Exporting Apache versus IIS

Community resources General

I have exported a site to my local XAMPP Apache site and everything works fine; on my IIS site, most content is missing.

The original site from my designer is supposed to look like:
https://workforceresource-org.webflow.io/

When I copy the files to my IIS webhost, the images don’t load, and some text content is missing. It can be found at:
https://secure7.workforceresource.org/index.html

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

FYI: I am a Webflow noobie but have been a web developer for 25 years.

Hi Tim, the problems you’re facing are basic web-dev stuff.
You can see that your image URL is giving a 404, so you either didn’t copy that folder, or you have an IIS configuration issue.

There’s nothing special going on here, Webflow just exports HTML, images, CSS, and the webflow.js file.

Note if you’re using the CMS, that’s not supported in Webflow’s export feature and that content will be stripped.

The image files were not all returning a 404, as it turns out.

My IIS was old, and returning an incorrect MIME type for webp files. All my problems disappeared after configuring an image/webp type for .webp files.

Thanks for the feedback!

:laughing: That would have tripped me up for a few minutes as well, hilarious. Glad you found your config issue.
