Umbraco surface controller does not work

Question

I've got a site, and it works well on my local computer.

Then I upload it on a server and test it, but the surface controller I called with AJAX can not be routed, and returns 404 status.

My server is Windows Server 2016 Datacenter, and IIS version is 10.

My computer is Windows 10.....

Thanks ~

Answer 1

I found the solution, and the answer is kind of bizzare. First of all, I tried:

• renaming my controllers namespace from [UmbracoProjectname].Controllers to Controllers (as seen in SO another post)

• making web.config identical in production as in local server where it works

• updating umbracoReservedPaths with my controller path

• lot of other stuff I forgot at the moment

The solution was this:

Instead of calling

https://domain.tld/umbraco/Surface/CustomSurface/test

I called it this way:

https://domain.tld//umbraco/Surface/CustomSurface/test

(Notice two slashes after domain)

So I guess it was some routing issue, I got it fixed this way. Hope it will help someone else.
