We have a website build in the umbraco 4.1 cms (webforms) default .net 3.5

  • 0

We have a website build in the umbraco 4.1 cms (webforms) default .net 3.5
And we have some MVC tools and controls build with MVC2.0 on .net 4.0

i’ve managed to let the umbraco cms run in .net 4.0
and i’ve been following parts of this guide (for mvc 1.0 and umbraco 4.0.3)

but now i’m stuck,
umbraco has alot of url management itself, so i use the urlRewriting.net (included in umbraco)
to redirect a certain url, to http://domain/umbraco/mvc.ashx?mvcRoute=/home.aspx/index
for example.

i know the url rewriting works (if i force an error into the mvc.ashx i recieve it in the browser window.
but each time it gets to the ProcessRequest it throws a “resource not found” error to the screen

here is the full code for mvc.ashx that i use

<%@ WebHandler Language="C#" Class="mvc" %>
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;

public class mvc : IHttpHandler
{
    public void ProcessRequest(HttpContext httpContext)
    {
        string originalPath = httpContext.Request.Path;
        string newPath = httpContext.Request.QueryString["mvcRoute"];
        if (string.IsNullOrEmpty(newPath))
            newPath = "/";

        HttpContext.Current.RewritePath(newPath, false);
  IHttpHandler ihh = (IHttpHandler)(new MvcHttpHandler());
  ihh.ProcessRequest(HttpContext.Current);
        HttpContext.Current.RewritePath(originalPath, false);
    }
    public bool IsReusable
    {
        get { return false; }
    }
}

here is the web.config that i use

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

and the routing file

using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using System.Web.Routing;

public class RegisterRoutesModule : IHttpModule
{
    public void Init(HttpApplication application)
    {
        RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
    }

    public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
    {
        routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
        if (routes["Default"] == null){
            routes.MapRoute(
                "Default",
                "{controller}.aspx/{action}/{id}",
                new { action = "Index", id = "" }
              );
        }
        routes.MapRoute(
          "Root",
          "",
          new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = "" }
        );
    }

    public void Dispose()
    {

    }
}

i have very few knowledge of mvc, though i am a certified umbraco developer.
what i suspect is that there are some routing issues, and the views folder is not found or something like that.

if anyone could shed some light
or even point out where to look
that would be great.

    You may want to look at your route mapping, I assume you are using IIS7: mvc typically uses the area/controller_name/action_name/{parameters} url format –

    If you are using IIS6 with wildcard map you will need to use .aspx extension. (/home.aspx/index)

    If you are using IIS7 however it must not be specified. (/home/index)
