I am having a problem where I try to open my ASP.NET MVC application but I get the ASP.NET error page which says this:
Server Error in '/' Application.
The resource cannot be found.
Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.
Requested URL: /EventScheduler/account.aspx/login
Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.3053; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.3053**
I am using the URL trick from this blog post and that is why I have the .aspx in the URL:
http://blog.codeville.net/2008/07/04/options-for-deploying-aspnet-mvc-to-iis-6/
It works on my other sandbox server (not a dev machine), and now I just deployed it to my production site as a new virtual directory, but for some reason it seems like it's actually looking for a .aspx file.
Any ideas? I think I must be forgetting a step.
I got the same error when building. The default is to use URLRoute settings for navigating. If you select the "Set as Startup Page" property by right clicking any cshtml page, that throws this error because there are always a routing to the current page under the Global.asax file.
Look at Project Properties for Startup Path and delete it.
I found the solution for this problem, you don't have to delete the global.asax, as it contains some valuable info for your proyect to run smoothly, instead have a look at your controller's name, in my case, my controller was named something as MyController.cs and in the global.asax it's trying to reference a Home Controller.
Look for this lines in the global asax
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
in my case i had to get like this to work
new { controller = "My", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
Make sure you're not telling IIS to check and see if a file exists before serving it up. This one has bitten me a couple times. Do the following:
Open IIS manager. Right click on your MVC website and click properties. Open the Virtual Directory tab. Click the Configuration... button. Under Wildcard application maps, make sure you have a mapping to c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_isapi.dll. MAKE SURE "Verify the file exists" IS NOT CHECKED!
You should carefully review your Route Values.
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
In this case, ensure you have your Controller 'Home' as the application will fail to load if there is no HomeController with Index Action. In My case I had HomesController and I missed the 's' infront of the Home. I Fixed the Name mismatch and this resolved the issue on both my local environment and on my server.
If you're running IIS 6 and above, make sure the application pool your MVC app. is using is set to Integrated Managed Pipeline Mode. I had mine set to Classic by mistake and the same error occurred.
The page is not found cause the associated controller doesn't exit. Just create the specific Controller. If you try to show the home page, and use Visual Studio 2015, follow this steps:
Right click on Controller folder, and then select Add > Controller;
Select MVC 5 Controller - Empty;
Click in Add;
Put HomeController for the controller name;
Build the project and after Run your project again
I hope this help
Two Things Needs To Be Ensure:
1) Route should be proper in Global.ascx file
2) Don't forget to add reference of Controller Project in your Web Project (view is in separate project from controller)
The second one is my case.
Had the same issue, in my case the cause was that the web.config file was missing in the virtual dir folder.
I got the same error while building a MVC application.
In my case it happened because I forgot to add the string "Controller" in my controller name.
Error With
public class ProductType : BaseController
{
public ProductType()
{
}
}
Resolved
public class ProductTypeController : BaseController
{
public ProductTypeController ()
{
}
}
In your Project open Global.asax.cs then right click on Method RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes); then click Go To Definition
then at defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id =UrlParameter.Optional}
then change then Names of "Home" to your own controller Name and Index to your own View Name if you have changed the Names other then "HomeController" and "Index"
Hope your Problem will be Solved.
Step 1 : Check to see if you have received the following update? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894670 If you have you might want to follow this procedure and see if it works for you. It worked partially for me.
The item where it mentions the additional "/" to be removed is not entirely true but it did give me some insight to change my project properties just a bit.
step 2 : Right click on your properties for your Web Project in your Solun.
Select WEB > Choose Current Page instead of Specific Page.
step 3 : Go into your project where you keep your *.aspx's select a start page. (Should be the same as the current page or choose another one of your choice :) )
Hit Debug Run.
Suppose source code copy from other places.
Sometime, if you use Virtual Directory in your application url like:
http://localhost:50385/myapp/#/
No route will pick up the request.
solution:
Explicitly click the button 'create a virtual directory' in your project file.
Go to any page you want to see it in browser right click--> view in browser.
this way working with me.
Upon hours of debugging, it was just an c# error in my html view.
Check your view and track down any error
Don't comment c# code using html style ie
Open your Controller.cs file and near your public ActionResult Index(), in place of Index write the name of your page you want to run in the browser. For me it was public ActionResult Login().
Remember to use PUBLIC for ActionResult:
public ActionResult Details(int id)
{
return View();
}
instead of
ActionResult Details(int id)
{
return View();
}
you must check if you implemented the page in the controller
for example:
public ActionResult Register()
{
return View();
}
I had a similar problem. But I was working with Episerver locally with ssl enabled. When I wasn't getting a
Server Error in '/' Application.
I was getting a Insecure connection error.
In the end, for me, this post on PluralSight together with configuring the website urls, accordingly with the ssl link set up on the project's config, on Admin's Manage Website's screen solved the problem.
In my case, I needed to replace this:
#Html.ActionLink("Return license", "Licenses_Revoke", "Licenses", new { id = userLicense.Id }, null)
With this:
Return license
<script type="text/javascript">
function returnLicense(e) {
e.preventDefault();
$.post('#Url.Action("Licenses_Revoke", "Licenses", new { id = Model.Customer.AspNetUser.UserLicenses.First().Id })', getAntiForgery())
.done(function (res) {
window.location.reload();
});
}
</script>
Even if I don't understand why. Suggestions are welcome!
For me its solved follow the following steps :
One reason for this occur is if you don't have a start page or wrong start page set under your web project's properties. So do this:
1- Right click on your MVC project
2- Choose "Properties"
3- Select the "Web" tab
4- Select "Specific Page"
Assuming you have a controller called HomeController and an action method called Index, enter "home/index" in to the text box corresponding to the "Specific Page" radio button.
Now, if you launch your web application, it will take you to the view rendered by the HomeController's Index action method.
It needs you to add a Web Form, just go to add on properties -> new item -> Web Form. Then wen you run it, it will work. Simple
I had the same problem caused by my script below. The problem was caused by url variable. When I added http://|web server name|/|application name| in front of /Reports/ReportPage.aspx ... it started to work.
<script>
$(document).ready(function () {
DisplayReport();
});
function DisplayReport() {
var url = '/Reports/ReportPage.aspx?ReportName=AssignmentReport';
if (url === '')
return;
var myFrame = document.getElementById('frmReportViewer');
if (myFrame !== null) {
if (myFrame.contentWindow !== null && myFrame.contentWindow.location !== null) {
myFrame.contentWindow.location = url;
}
else {
myFrame.setAttribute('src', url);
}
}
}
</script>
My Code for the Route looks like this:
RouteTable.Routes.MapPageRoute("IDP", "Person/{IDP}", "~/Person.aspx")
And now i want to get the Data on a Form, normally it works like this:
int id = Convert.ToInt32(Page.RouteData.Values["IDP"]);
But everytime i try to get the Data from the Route e.g.: http://PC-81/SkillDatenbank/Person/1
I get no Data from the Value (it is empty!)
I am using ASP.Net 4.5 with Web Forms.
Edit: I made an new Project and tested and it didnt work either
What am i Doing wrong? in the Last Project it did work like this :(
Can you help me?
Your problem ist probably located in your Routing table. I have created a WebForms project to test this out.
Open up your Global.asax (or whereever you store your RouteConfig; default is App_Start/RouteConfig.cs) and check your RegisterRoutes method. Add the following line to it, if it isn't already present.
void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
var settings = new FriendlyUrlSettings();
settings.AutoRedirectMode = RedirectMode.Permanent;
routes.EnableFriendlyUrls(settings);
/* ... additional routes */
routes.MapPageRoute("","Person/{IDP}", "~/Person.aspx");
}
In your Application_Start there should be a line like this, if you use the default configuration with in the App_Start folder: RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
If you defined your routes in your global.asax.cs it is just RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
If you now access your Page via http://PC-81/SkillDatenbank/Person/1 the RouteData dictionary will contain 1 set of data, like this:
Following code has worked for me, I have moved additional routes to top of the function.
Also, in my case RedirectMode is off because I'm using Jquery in my code and inorder to make a Webmethod work, I have turned off RedirectMode.
void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
/* ... additional routes */
routes.MapPageRoute("","Person/{IDP}", "~/Person.aspx");
var settings = new FriendlyUrlSettings();
settings.AutoRedirectMode = RedirectMode.Permanent;
routes.EnableFriendlyUrls(settings);
}
Trying to route in webforms, getting a 404.
I have set up my global.asax.cs file as follows using System.Web.Routing;
protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
}
private void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.MapPageRoute("ProfilePage",
"Profile",
"~/Manager/Profile.aspx");
}
profile.aspx is located within the manager folder. No idea why it's not working. Would be grateful if someone could make some suggestions I am fairly new to asp.net.
I am expecting the url localhost:60008/Manager/Profile/ to load the Profile.aspx page.
The second parameter specifies the URL. Try:
routes.MapPageRoute("ProfilePage",
"Manager/Profile",
"~/Manager/Profile.aspx");
You have it right the first time. Here a valid routing
routes.MapPageRoute("", "YourPage", "~/Your/full/url.aspx", true);
The first para can be let empty, the second is the one you are going to use, the third is the url of your page, the last [optional] is to check if the file exist physically or not.
I believe where the error comes is how you use it, for a hyperlink you would say
NavigateUrl="~/YourPage"
In a html anchor
href="~/YourPage" runat="server"
In the browser address bar it will show like this http://YourDomain.com/YourPage/
That's the way it works for me. Personally having to put the folders in there defeat the purpose of using routing no?
I am currently working in a brownfield ASP.NET MVC 3 project in VS2010.
In this project, views and controllers are in separate projects. This is not something that I have seen before. In each action method there is no explicit stating of view name as below.
return View("viewName",passingModel);//projects where controllers and views are in same
I have done this implicitly in VS2012 by right clicking on the view and do add view. So I was not bothered about where is this connection between action method's return view and the view is stated.
Unlike in VS2012, in VS2010 I can not navigate to the view that is related to one particular action method by right clicking on View and doing go to view.
I tried to understand this by doing this small experiment. I created a Controller and created a Action Method call xxxx and I created a view for that implicitly as mentioned above and searched the word xxxx in entire solution but this word only appeared in controller and in the view.
So, I was unsuccessful in finding the answer. I think visual studio itself creating its own mapping to achieve this.
I would like to know who these implicit connections are created among action methods and views to understand what is going on in my project.
Edit:
Both the projects which contains controllers and views are class libraries. not asp.net mvc projects.
Global.aspx file contains this:
public static void RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilterCollection filters)
{
filters.Add(new HandleErrorAttribute());
}
protected void Application_Start()
{
DependenciesHelper.Register(new HttpContextWrapper(Context));
AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas();
RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters);
RoutingHelper.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
}
protected void Application_End()
{
//Should close the index
//If this method is not executed, the search engine will still work.
SearchService.CloseIndex();
}
The mapping is fairly straightforward. For example if you have a controller called "MyBrilliantController" and an action method called "MyExcellentAction" which returned just return View(); it would map to (in the UI project) ~/Views/MyBrilliant/MyExcellentAction.cshtml
The only time where this is different is when you are working with "Areas" - but the mapping is effectively the same, it would just consider the area folder first (ie ~/Areas/MyArea/Views/MyBrilliant/MyExcellentAction.cshtml)
Hope that helps.
EDIT - You can also specify namespaces in the global.asax file on each route for the engine to find controllers
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"{controller}/{action}/{id}", // URL with parameters
new {
controller = "Home",
action = "Index",
id = UrlParameter.Optional
}, // Parameter defaults
new string[] {
// namespaces in which to find controllers for this route
"MySolution.MyControllersLib1.Helpers",
"MySolution.MyControllersLib2.Helpers",
"MySolution.MyControllersLib3.Helpers"
}
);
}
i want to route Default.aspx to another URL when page starts.
my global.asax is like this :
protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
}
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.MapPageRoute(
"Default", // Route name
"My Site", // URL with parameters
"~/Default.aspx" // Parameter defaults
);
}
should i write a handler for my purpose?
(i found some samples for .net 3.5 and MVC but what about .net 4 web forms)
if yes how can i write it?
EDIT:
what this line exactly do?
routes.Add("Default", new Route(string.Empty, new RouteHandler("~/Default.aspx")));
i am using web forms -> Not MVC
thanks in advace
Here's a specific example of how to deal with routing on asp.net 4.0 web forms (it's just under the mvc part).
http://weblogs.asp.net/scottgu/archive/2009/10/13/url-routing-with-asp-net-4-web-forms-vs-2010-and-net-4-0-series.aspx
The way you are approaching it is fine. You do have an error in the second parameter of your route. Well perhaps not an error, I dislike spaces in urls as they are actually the encoded spaces. Check out the guide.
Just noticed your edit.
Adding the route essentially creates a mapping between a url or url pattern (which you have as string.Empty which is a problem) and a handler which serves the request(You specify RouteHandler which I don't believe actually exists?). .net Provides a PageRouteHandler which allows you to specify which page responds to your request and deal with a couple other details like security defined on the physical structure of your site. Internally, MapPageRoute is simply calling routes.Add but using the PageRouteHandler.
