Forgive me, I'm a newbie to Microsoft-related technologies.
I have a Web Project running on a local instance of IIS7 (7.5.7600). The project contains routes for both .NET MVC and WebAPI. When I navigate to them by IP address, they come across fine. So, for example, 192.168.2.1/Project returns the default route. However, if I try to retrieve the same page using a named reference, I get a 404: localhost/Project (404) and mycomp.dev/Project (404). I can navigate to static resources using these other addresses, so the following return successfully: localhost/Project/a_file.html and mycomp.dev/Project/a_file.html.
In reading through this post, I saw that other people have resolved similar-looking problems by adding the following to their Web.config:
<system.webServer>
<validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" />
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true" />
</system.webServer>
However, these settings are already in my configuration, and the problem persists.
I'm not sure if it makes a difference, but I'm running a virtualized copy of Windows on my Mac.
