No HTTP resource was found that matches the request URI, No type was found that matches the controller

Question

When i am hitting the url: http://localhost/api/adxxx/getDeals/?input=2

I get the following error:

"Message": "No HTTP resource was found that matches the request URI ' http://localhost/api/adxxx/getDeals/?input=2 '.",

"MessageDetail": "No type was found that matches the controller named 'adxxx'."

 public static class WebApiConfig
    {
        public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
        {        
            config.DependencyResolver = new UnityResolver(UnityBootstrapper.Initialise());
            config.EnableCors();

            config.MapHttpAttributeRoutes();

            config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
                name: "xxx.services",
                routeTemplate: "webapi/{controller}/{action}"
            );

            config.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
               name: "xxx.services_new",
               routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{action}",
               defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
           );

           FluentValidationModelValidatorProvider.Configure(config);
        }
    }


[Route("api/adxxx/getDeals/")]
public IHttpActionResult GetDeals(int input)
{
 //code here
}

How do i resolve this? Very similar apis having different route are working fine.

This happened when i have added fluent validation to my api. That updated my System.Web.Http.dll to v5.2.3.0

Correct your route config for allow parameter

[Route("api/adxxx/getDeals/{input}")]
public IHttpActionResult GetDeals(int input)
{
 //code here
}

and then you can request it by

http://localhost/api/adxxx/getDeals/2
