尝试从URL调用IIS7上的MVC控制器

Question

I deployed my asp.net mvc2 .net4 web application at a win2k8 32bit server with iis7. Doing exactly the same as I have done in the past on 64bit servers that were a bit more up to date patch-wise. However it does not seem to be calling the controllers correctly. When I call the following controller;

http://localhost/getPlaces?placeID=3498 I get a 404 not found error.

I used process monitor to monitor what was going on. What that picks up is;

CreateFile c:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\getPlaces\\web.config

CreateFile c:\\inetpub\\wwwroot\\GETPLACES

And nothing else. To me that seems very strange.

The web application is located in the wwwroot directory, and the application pool is correctly set to .net 4.x (being an mvc2 .net4 app).

Is there anything obvious I missed? Pretty much everything else in the IIS configuration is default.

Any help would be appreciated here.

Answer 1

The URL doesn't seem valid, are you sure it's not http://localhost/getPlaces/3498 or http://localhost/getPlaces?postcode=3498 ?

In it's current shape and assuming a default routing setup the URL will get mapped to getPlaces action method with a sinle parameter called 3498 (since its a name-value pair without the value). Since an identifier cannot start with a digit in .NET languages, it's not possible.

Answer 2

I found out it was missing the ISAPI filters, I reinstalled .net4 using the repair option, rebooted and all was fine. Thanks for the effort though you who posted :]
