ASP.net MVC HttpException strange file not found
- by Paddy
I'm running asp.net MVC site on IIS6 - I've edited my routing to look like the following:
routes.MapRoute(
"Default",
"{controller}.aspx/{action}/{id}",
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = "" }
);
routes.MapRoute(
"Root",
"",
new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = "" }
);
So all my urls now contain .aspx (as per one of the solutions from Phil Haack). Now, I catch all unhandled exceptions using Elmah, and for almost every page request, I get the following error caught by Elmah, that I never see on the front end (everything works perfectly):
System.Web.HttpException: The file '/VirtualDirectoryName/Home.aspx' does not exist.
System.Web.HttpException: The file '/VirtualDirectoryName/Home.aspx' does not exist.

There is a Home controller, and it should be found, but I'm not sure a) where this is being called from, and b) why I don't see this error on the front end. Any ideas?

I think the answer for this can be found in this question:
