No, you don't need to change the path, the easiest solution is to create a bundle and put it in layout or view and then republish. also don't forget to enable bundling as step 1. Create bundle public class BundleConfig { // For more information on bundling, visit http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=301862 public static void RegisterBundles(BundleCollection bundles) { bundles.Add( new ScriptBundle( "~/bundles/Postscripts" ).Include( "~/Scripts/Jquery.js" , "~/Scripts/bootstrap.min.js" )); } } step 2. use in layout or view as @Scripts.Render( "~/bundles/Postscripts" ) step 3. Enable Bundling (open global.asax) protected void Application_Start() { BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles); BundleTable.EnableOptimizations = true ; // important } Now, republish and test, if this doesn't work then have to set things using web.config.

Hi, make this URL as absolute and not relative. It is looking for url from the root path.

404 not found error means it is not able to find the url properly. Also check whether you deployed the code correctly or not. Thanks
