DotNetNuke ControlBar not showing - dotnetnuke

Windows Server 2008 R2
IIS 7.5
DNN 7.2.1
Application Pool - .NET Framework Version = v4.0
After fresh install I get the problem when ControlBar is showing like this in IE10:
and does not respond to any actions.
And Google Chrome shows the website like:

Start by checking to see why your IIS site isn't serving up STATIC Files. Looks like your CSS and Images aren't loading.

Also, make sure the site is not running in Compatibility Mode or you didn't accidentally place the site on the Compatibility list.
You can also try hitting F12, going to the Network tab and refreshing the site. This will let you see if any resources (css/js) aren't getting loaded (404).

MVC File Download asking for Authentication

I encountered a weird scenario. I have created an MVC2 Application and deployed it to IIS7, to 2 web sites (Default Web Site and another manually created "Test Web Site" ... they are using different application pools targeting v2.0). I am using SQL 2008 R2 Filestream feature to store files.
The problem I have is that I have a feature where the user browsing the site can download a document. The document is created in the server and the server then streams that to the client. The problem is, Default Web Site asks for authentication when user tries to download.
This doesn't happen for Test Web Site and it downloads fine.
Now, I do not have a clue what setting I need to change? The only different things I recall is that I manually created Test Web Site compared to just reusing the Default Web Site and also that I allowed inbound connections to Test Web Site (it was on port 8080).
What are the configurations needed to change so that user can download files from Default Web Site without going through authentication?
Try changing authentication settings in IIS Site->Authentication->Anonymous Authentication set to Enable
Turns out it was conflicting with the SQL Server Reports Manager.

Opening Liferay portal w/ Glassfish sends Octet/stream 32bytes in some browsers

I've been working with liferay for a while, and currently i'm trying to build a company's intranet but I'm facing this weird problem.
There's some "co-workers" here in the company that can't open this Liferay portal in some of their browsers. The thing is when they write the url on their browsers and press Enter key, a file called "home" gets downloaded instead of opening the liferay web page.
This happens for some users in Mozilla Firefox, for others in Google Chrome, for other in both of them. Some of these users use Windows 7 O.S, some others use Ubuntu 12.04.
We're using Liferay Portal Community Edition 6.0.5 CE (Bunyan / Build 6005 / August 16, 2010)
with Oracle GlassFish Server 3.1.2.2 (build 5).
We've worked with prior Glassfish versions like 2.1 and 2.1.1, but we had never faced an issue like this one.
As I said this happens for some users, for some others it works fine.
Does anyone know what's the cause of this behaviour? How could I fix this?
Thanks in advance!
This sounds a lot like an ancient problem that has been found all over the internet - a problem in the gzip filter (Liferay also had it).
You state that you're using 6.0.5, odds are that it wasn't fixed in that release. I can't find it, but this issue is close. After all, the best recommendation is: Please update to the latest version to be back at a current version that gets more updates. Alternatively, deactivate gzip on Liferay (you can activate it on an Apache httpd sitting in front of Liferay)

Lightswitch Forms Authentication issues based on windows user?

First my apologies if I failed to find an answer searching - I tried a variety of search topics but none that were directly related.
I have a Lightswitch app deployed and working fine, running on IIS 7 and Windows Server 2008. It is an internal intranet app only.
I am using only FORMS AUTHENTICATION, all others are disabled.
The app works fine for MOST windows users.
However, some windows users get nothing but a blank screen - no login, no "loading..." and no silverlight "98%" display.
In the IIS log, I don't even see where it looks like it is being accessed when they attempt to load the app?
So, my question is, since this is FORMS authentication only, what could be causing it to NOT work based on which windows user is trying to run the app?
In other words, on the same Windows 7 machine, it works for 10 users, but not for others.
by the way, the application is remote - it is not running on the local machine.
The users ARE able to access the other ASP.NET applications hosted by the same IIS server in the same root inetpub folder.
The lightswitch application is using the ASP.NET v4.0 Classic app pool in calssic managed pipeline mode.
Any help greatly appreciated!!!
Happy to post any details/config/logs - I did not do so yet as I wasn't sure what would be most useful....
On the users machine you need to use Fiddler or the F12 tools in Internet Explorer to see exactly what calls are being made to the server and which ones are failing. LightSwitch is just an ASP.net website that launches a Silverlight application.
So the only other thing I can think of is that those users do not have Silverlight installed on their machines?
The users need to install the latest version of Silverlight. Apps built with LightSwitch 2011 require v4 or above and those built with LightSwitch for Visual Studio 2012 require v5

silverlight and sharepoint restored site

well i had a site in sharepoint with silverlight web parts, they all woked fine until i restored that site in another server, and now silverlight web parts are blank but show the silverlight menu, i tested silverlight in the same server in another sharepoint site and it worked fine, also i checked the web.config all looks ok, what could be wrong?
im working with iis 7 and win server 2008 and it works ok with normal sharepoint site but not this restored site =/
Have you added the .XAP MIME type to the server?
Have you tried to see if Silverlight can load all its assets? Images, xap files, etc.
You can use a tool like Fiddler.
well this sharepoint site can load a image slide show made in silverlight as shown in http://www.wssdemo.com/Blog/archive/tags/Silverlight/default.aspx
but it cant load xap files =/
