ASP.NET MVC 2 controller-url problems

Question

I am still very new to the MVC framework, but I managed to create a controller that reads from a database and writes JSON to an url;

host.com/Controllername?minValue=something&maxValue=something

However when I move the site to a subfolder;

host.com/mvc/

it doesn't seem to be able to call the controller from there when I do it like this;

host.com/mvc/Controllername?minValue=something&maxValue=something

Did I forget to do something somewhere to make this url call valid from that subfolder? Any help here would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

In the first case you are specifying the controller name while in the second case you are not. You could setup a default route:

routes.MapRoute(
    "Default",
    "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
    new
    {
        controller = "Controllername",
        action = "ActionName",
        id = UrlParameter.Optional
    }
);

Once this default route points to the controller and action both urls should work:

host.com/?minValue=something&maxValue=something
host.com/mvc/?minValue=something&maxValue=something
