Installed glimpse attempting to access glimpse.axd and receive 404 error?

Question

It is a simple as that I installed glimpse following this page. :

http://getglimpse.com/About/QuickStart

I then attempt to navigate to http://myApp/glimpse.axd and receive 404 error not found.

As you can see in the Quickstart there is this statement. :

If you get a "Page not found" when browsing to "/glimpse.axd" check the troubleshooting section in the FAQ.

There is nothing in the FAQ regarding this. I have skimmed this website and getGlimpse.com attempting numerous other configurations and nothing is working. Any one else run into this issue and fix it?

Tried this also. :

Glimpse for MVC3 module not found after NuGet install of Glimpse.MVC3

Answer 1

I had a multi-project solution and was installing it from the Package Manager Console. I found that installing it using the following command worked:

 PM> Install-Package -ProjectName <MyProject> Glimpse.MVC4

Of course you need to replace <MyProject> with your own project name.

Answer 2

Make sure you have the Glimpse module and handler registered in your web.config based on the web server you are using.

• If you are using a site on IIS6, in IIS7.x classic pipeline mode or Visual Studio Development Server

  <system.web>
      <httpModules>
          <add 
              name="Glimpse" 
              type="Glimpse.Core.Module, Glimpse.Core"
          />
      </httpModules>
      <httpHandlers>
          <add 
              path="glimpse.axd" 
              verb="GET,POST" 
              type="Glimpse.Core.Handler, Glimpse.Core"
          />
     </httpHandlers>
     ...
  

• And if you are using IIS 7.x in integrated pipeline mode or IIS Express:

  <system.webServer>
      <modules>
          <add 
              name="Glimpse" 
              type="Glimpse.Core.Module, Glimpse.Core" 
              preCondition="integratedMode" 
          />
      </modules>
      <handlers>
          <add 
              name="Glimpse" 
              path="glimpse.axd" 
              verb="GET,POST" 
              type="Glimpse.Core.Handler, Glimpse.Core" 
              preCondition="integratedMode" 
          />
      </handlers>
      ...
  </system.webServer>
