Consider an ASP.NET MVC 2 project with VS 2010. The goal is to set the 'start URL' on run/debug using VS's built-in Cassini web server.
Entering the URL as I want to be loaded, in the typical & valid format, controller/action, VS 2010 gives this exception.

Question: How can you specify the start URL for an MVC 2 project?
Technologies:
Resolution: I was using the wrong field in the startup options. What was needed was the "Specific Page" field with the relative URL, and not Start URL.

How do I change the default page in ASP NET MVC? You can set up a default route: routes. MapRoute( "Default", // Route name "", // URL with parameters new { controller = "Home", action = "Index"} // Parameter defaults ); Just change the Controller/Action names to your desired default.
In Solution Explorer, right-click the name of the web application and select Properties. Click the Web tab. In the Servers section, under dropdown selection for IIS Express, change the port number in the Project URL box. To the right of the Project URL box, click Create Virtual Directory, and then click OK.
Right-click your Project within the Solution Explorer. Choose Properties. Select the Web tab on the left-hand side. Under the Start Action section, define the Specific Page you would like to default to when the application is launched.
Start URL has to be a fully qualified URL and is not really used that often. It's meant for testing web services by opening a page that will call into the service, but isn't part of the application itself.
If you're just looking to start on a certain page of your application, which it sounds like you want, then use the "Specific Page" field, and enter your relative URL.
Here's the doc page on project start options.

Use Start Page \ Specific Page -- NOT START URL -- and specify your URL without a slash.
That oughta do it for you.
