ASP.NET MVC5 The webserver is not configured for the requested URL, and directory browsing is not enabled on the server

Question

I have an issue with loading the pages from a MVC5 application.

I have this software installed and used:

• Windows 10
• Visual Studio Enterpris

Answer 1

My problem went away once I added a specific map route to RouteConfig.cs in the App_start folder

'routes.MapRoute("Buy lands", // string name "BuyLands/Index", // string Url new { controller = "BuyLands", Action = "Index" });

// controller name is BuyLands'

Answer 2

Here's what resolved my specific problem:

From Visual Studio, right click on the Website Project > Properties > Web > Select "Specific Page" > Browse > Select the Default page.

If you're using MVC 5 or higher, make sure that you remove move ".cshtml" and remove the Views directory. For example, the directory will show as Views/ControllerName/Index.cshtml. Remove Views so it shows as ControllerName/Index

Answer 3

your root directory is empty?(index.html,index.aspx vb.) and I think Your project web.config default document property is not set.

Directory Browse Web.config properties

    <configuration>

  <location path="special_directory_name_here">
   <system.webServer>
    <directoryBrowse enabled="true" />
   </system.webServer>

  </location>
</configuration>

Please configure to your project default route settings, because your default route settings, is not redirect to controller.

Change Default route settings

Default Document Property web.config

<configuration>
   <system.webServer>
    <defaultDocument>
        <files>
            <add value="index.php" />
        </files>
    </defaultDocument>
   </system.webServer>
</configuration>

Answer 4

This is a quick solution for quick app testing purposes and not intended for solving the root cause - not MVC:

• Errors when the ASP.NET application starts at http://localhost:port#/

• Works when the url changed to http://localhost:45269/HTMLPageName.html

Answer 5

I finally figured it out. All I had to do was change the url in RouteConfig.cs

from
url: "{controller}/{action}/{name}/{id}"
to
url: "{controller}/{action}",
