Question

I’m trying to deploy a MVC3 app into an IIS6 environment into a sub folder of an existing 2.0 site. The problem I have is that none of the actions are able to hit the controller now I have relocated the application to a subfolder. The controller name is SurveyController and the subdirectory name is Survey.

this is where things go wrong

$.ajax({
    url: '@Url.Action("AddSurvey")',
    type: 'GET',
    async: false,
    contentType: 'application/json',
    success: function (result) {

        ko.applyBindings(new ViewModel(result));
    }
});

Now that I’ve moved into a subfolder what do I need to do to ensure controller actions are routed correctly?

Currently registered routes are

RouteTable.Routes.MapRoute("", "", new { controller = "Survey", action = "Index" });

Edit:

After a few more tests. I am able to browse to a controller that creates an simple hello string. But as soon as I introduce the EF DBContext it throws an error saying

“The IControllerFactory ‘UI.Infrastructure.NinjectControllerFactory’ did not return a controller for the name ‘MyTest’. “

    public ActionResult MyTest()
    {
        ContentResult cr = new ContentResult();
        cr.Content = "hello";
        return cr;
    }

but not

    public ActionResult MyTest()
    {
        RolloverModel ctx = new RolloverModel("name=MyModel");
        cr.Content = ctx.Connection.ConnectionString;
        return cr;
    }

Thanks in advance!

I don’t know what rellocation you did, but the AJAX example you have shown cannot possibly work because you are using the GET verb with contentType: 'application/json' which is not supported by the model binder.
