ASP.NET MVC Missing Default Action only for one controller

Question

I don't know what happened to my website. From today the default action "Index" in only one controller doesn't work anymore. If I call http://website.com/Valuation i get 403 error page because the webserver doesn't route my request and try to browse the folder. If I write http://website.com/Valuation/Index everything works. I search in all the code but i can't find the problem, everything seems fine like other controllers.

How can i find the problem? Do you know if there are a known issue that cause that problem or you know if there is a trace\log\debugger of routing requests?

Thanks

Most probably the issue is you have a folder by name Valuation in your website root. Thats why the valuation index action is not working. Instead of routing to the Controller Action the url http://website.com/Valuation is routing to the Folder Valuation.

Delete this folder Valuation from your root or rename it then this url http://website.com/Valuation will work.

Also check if the ValuationController has the public ActionResult Index() ([HttpGet] method.
