Hi I have this weird server that won't work with extensionless URLs and the new Repositories won't show it's index instances, index builders, and fields.

I think the problem is related to eachother.

Do you know what could cause this issue?

The server has .NET Framework 4.5.1 installed

And the solution that is tested runs 8.8.1.31

Hi Kevin

I have seen this problem once before on IIS 7.5. The problem was solved by enabling “invoke only for requests to asp.net applications or managed handlers” on the system.web.routing.urlroutingmodule under the IIS modules.

If it doesn’t solve your problem, please let me know.

It was enabled.

But I got it up and running by doing the following steps found on guides from stackoverflow

1. Copied System.Web.Routing.dll from C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework64\v4.0.30319\ into the application bin folder

2. Added this to web.config

<system.webServer>
  <handlers>
    <add name="UrlRoutingHandler" preCondition="integratedMode" verb="*" path="UrlRouting.axd" type="System.Web.HttpForbiddenHandler, System.Web, Version=2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
  </handlers>
  <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true">
    <remove name="UrlRoutingModule" />
    <add name="UrlRoutingModule" type="System.Web.Routing.UrlRoutingModule, System.Web, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />
  </modules>
  <system.webServer>

Aha, my dear Watson. Elementary!!

Thanks for sharing the solution - I remember we struggled with this one at some point. Not even a aspnet_regiis /i helped on the matter.

Look no further,

I found an official hotfix on this problem

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/980368/a-update-is-available-that-enables-certain-iis-7.0-or-iis-7.5-handlers-to-handle-requests-whose-urls-do-not-end-with-a-period

Nothing further than applying the hotfix and restart the server is required, and it works like a charm :)

Nice, thanks for sharing. Now we just need to get rid of old W2k8 servers :-)
