Appearance template failing to load

Question

After setting up a local website on a new IIS server 8, I encountered an issue where the style sheet was not loading properly.

The master page is referencing the style sheet like this:

href="/HeadOffice/Styles/HeadOfficeCalendar.css"

For example:

<link rel="stylesheet" href="/HeadOffice/Styles/HeadOfficeCalendar.css" type="text/css" media="all" />

The site's home page can be found at:

//localhost/TESTFESTOON/HeadOffice/home.aspx

The physical path for the styles folder is:

E:\inetpub\ForRelease\HeadOffice\Styles

In addition to the style sheet issue, some of the images are also failing to load properly.
