Question

I’m running a MonoRail application that has no routing configured. So I’m using MRs standard Area/Controller/Action.aspx scheme.
(I changed the MonoRail handler to listen for .aspx requests).

Now, the problem here is that /Home/Index.aspx is my start-page, yet if someone comes to http://server.com/ it’s not transferred to /Home/Index.aspx but is seeing a directory listing forbidden page instead.

Are there any quick fixes for this? I tried making a HttpHandler listen on /default.aspx that issues a Server.Transfer to my /Home/Index.aspx. Yet that fails with the defaultUrlTokenizer since it can’t extract the proper controllername / actionname to invoke afterwards.

You can get helped from the Routing module, and set it up only on the “/” url if you don’t need anything else.
