Question

I am having an issue deploying MVC2 app on Window Server 2003 R2 x64. Does anyone have the same issue? I have tried different methods from global.asx, wild card mapping and to no avail. I’m thinking this is window server 2003 R2 x64 specific issue.

Do you have a Default.aspx on your home dir? If not, try adding one with this code-behind

public partial class _Default : Page
{
    public void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
    {
        // Change the current path so that the Routing handler can correctly interpret
        // the request, then restore the original path so that the OutputCache module
        // can correctly process the response (if caching is enabled).

        string originalPath = Request.Path;
        HttpContext.Current.RewritePath(Request.ApplicationPath, false);
        IHttpHandler httpHandler = new MvcHttpHandler();
        httpHandler.ProcessRequest(HttpContext.Current);
        HttpContext.Current.RewritePath(originalPath, false);
    }
}
