The simplest example with MVC attribute routing doesn't work

Question

I use VS2013 and created MVC application by wizard. I also deleted all extra files and have the following:

1) RouteConfig.cs

public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
    routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
    routes.MapMvcAttributeRoutes();
}

2) HomeController.cs

public class HomeController : Controller
{
    [Route("Home/Index")]
    public ActionResult Index()
    {
        return View();
    }
}

3) Index.cshtml

@{
    ViewBag.Title = "Home Page";
}

Home page

I've got the page with error:

HTTP 403.14 - Forbidden

But, if I add to URL in browser's address bar manually - Home/Index:

http://localhost:50600/Home/Index

The page appears.

What I'm doing wrong?

Answer 1

Remove the "Home" from the route as the controller name HomeController is already starting your route with "Home". If you want to change that "Home" prefix, you can add an attribute to the HomeController class to define that.

Also, the default route name for an action will match the action name, so in this case you could use [Route("")] and the url /Home/Index would work.
