I have an MVC3 project using nHibernate, Rhino and Castle. I finally got all of the components in place. I think. At least it runs and invokes the IWondsorContainer CreateContainer() method....after that method, the Application_Start does not fire and I get the message:
Server Error in '/' Application.

Any ideas? I don't know what to make of this. Thanks
You seem to be requesting a view directly: /Views/Proposal/Index.cshtml. In ASP.NET MVC you do not request a view. You request a controller action. So in your browser the url should be /Proposal/Index or simply / depending on how your routes are configured.
I suspect that you had the focus on this Index.cshtml when you hit F5 in Visual Studio which has this ugly habit of following the url. You could define a start url in the properties of your web project to avoid this behavior.

I have a Web API project along with the built in help website. When I start up the project locally, the help website home page displays no problem. But when I send a REST POST request to an API controller using fiddler, I get the following response.
The following errors occurred while attempting to load the app.
- No assembly found containing an OwinStartupAttribute.
- No assembly found containing a Startup or [AssemblyName].Startup class.
To disable OWIN startup discovery, add the appSetting owin:AutomaticAppStartup with a value of "false" in your web.config.
To specify the OWIN startup Assembly, Class, or Method, add the appSetting owin:AppStartup with the fully qualified startup class or configuration method name in your web.config.
I have tried to solve using the suggestions in the error message but no joy.
It works OK on the test server.
Can anyone suggest why this error is returned only on a REST request and not when the help website starts up and any tips on how to solve?
I am developing a RESTful web api service. It's web api v.1, not v.2. Also I am developing on Visual Studio 2010 SP1. I have installed the MVC 4 for VS2010 SP1.
Please understand and keep in mind that Upgrading to newer versions of VS or Web Api 2 is not an option.
I have the following problem after a Windows Update ocurred.
When I try to use my RESTful api this way....
http://url.com/documents/ (get all the documents) I get the following error...
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.
Here is the stack trace.
[HttpException]: File does not exist. at System.Web.StaticFileHandler.GetFileInfo(String virtualPathWithPathInfo, String physicalPath, HttpResponse response) at System.Web.StaticFileHandler.ProcessRequestInternal(HttpContext context, String overrideVirtualPath) at System.Web.DefaultHttpHandler.BeginProcessRequest(HttpContext context, AsyncCallback callback, Object state) at system.Web.HttpApplication.CallHandlerExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication.IExecutionStep.Execute() at System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously)
If I specify the action name directly, it works. For example...
http://url.com/documents/get (gets all the documents) or
http://url.com/documents/7 (gets document id=7.
It only fails when you call it by its default name. I have already read similar situations here and I have tried to follow their solutions but they are not working for me properly.
Now, I know this is not a "web api routing" issue because I actually get the .net default exception page html markup (I am using Postman to test my webservice). When I force a "routing issue", then I get a JSON error description, which means that the Controller actually got created in the pipeline and returned a response.
Also, I have a custom file (SecurityHandler) that inherits from DelegatingHandler. This file gets executed almost first in the pipeline with each call to the api. Even before the actual Controller. Well, this file is never called when I get the error, which confirms to me that the "webserver" (either VS Development Server or IIS 7) is the one throwing the exception.
I have exhausted every single solution that I have found here. Change my web.config to multiple handlers configurations, re-installed MVC 4 for VS2010, created an entire new project... all these efforts have shown no results whatsoever.
Like I said, this was working perfectly fine until my pc restarted from a Windows Update BUT... why does it fail in the server as well? I did deploy my api to the server after the error started to occur.
Thanks.
The issue is not in Web API (and has nothing to do with it's version or Visual Studio 2010), it's the static file handler trying to serve and failing.
Alternatives:
0. Do you have a documents folder in your site? Get rid of it.
1. Remove the static file handler for directory browsing and re-add it.
2. Use RAMMFAR (less recommended)
Currently, we are adding asp-net web api support to an asp.net application. However when using any path to request an action on the controller, AppRelativeCurrentExecutionFilePath is always set to "~/" and results in 400 error. Used the route debugger available here confirmed that AppRelativeCurrentExecutionFilePath is always incorrect no matter what the url is.
For e.g. all of below url accesses, has AppRelativeCurrentExecutionFilePath as "~/"
http://localhost:1521/Testclient/apitest/values/get
http://localhost:1521/Testclient/apitest/values/get/1
Route debugger also shows failed/no match for above urls even though route table has required entries.
Have disabled all Application_BeginRequest/VPP/module/http handlers and anything that can cause routing to be impacted but still getting into same issue. Any other possible ways this can be debugged?
Update1: Checked the application.Request.AppRelativeCurrentExecutionFilePath by handling Application_BeginRequest( ) in global.asax, even there it appears to be wrong.
Seems to have found the issue, site had a "." in the name and for some reason asp.net does not like it. Root path that caused the issue was
http://localhost:1521/Test.client/apitest/values/get
http://localhost:1521/Test.client/apitest/values/get/1
Note the "Test.Client", changed it to "TestClient" and all worked as expected. When i copied the link from the test machine, had changed it and overlooked it. This should save somebody few hours if they hit this problem. Still not sure if this is a bug!?
I'm trying to set up an MVC application that will service several facebook applications for various clients. With help from Prabir's blog post I was able to set this up with v5.2.1 and it is working well, with one exception.
At first, I had only set up two "clients", one called DemoStore and the first client, ClientA. The application determines what client content and facebook settings to use based on the url. example canvasUrl: http://my_domain.com/client_name/
This works for ClientA, but for some reason when I try any DemoStore routes I get a 500 error. The error page points to an issue with the web.config.
Config Error:
Cannot add duplicate collection entry of type 'add' with unique key attribute 'name' set to 'facebookredirect.axd'
I am able to add additional clients with no problem, and changing DemoStore to something like "demo" while using the same facebook application settings works fine also.
Working calls:
http:// localhost:2888/ClientA/
http:// localhost:2888/ClientB/
http:// localhost:2888/Demo/
Failing call:
http:// localhost:2888/DemoStore/
I was thinking this might be an MVC issue, but the Config Error points to the facebookredirect handler. Why would the SDK try to add this value to the config during runtime, and only for this specific client?
Any insight would be greatly appreciated.
I managed to figure out what went wrong here. Silly mistake..
After I had set up the application routes to require the client_name I changed the Project Url in the project properties to point to demostore by default. When I hit ctrl+S a dialog popped up that I promptly entered through without reading.
When I changed the Project Url, IIS Express created a new virtual directory for the project. This was the source of my problem. Why? I'm not sure, but once I removed the second site from my applicationhost.config I was able to access the DemoStore routes.
Moral of the story: read the VS dialog messages!
I've started with an asp.net mvc 3 and I have a problem, with some error:

Looks like there is something wrong with you routes. Check the global.asax file to see if the url paths are configured correctly
I think the routing data might not be set correctly. People often make this mistake with asp.net mvc. You can download the Routing Debugger to find out why the path you requested cannot be found.
