ASP.NET MVC area issue on IIS 10

Mahdi Khardani 0

I have an existing ASP.NET MVC application (on .NET 4.8), and I have recently added an area to the application (area is registered and the route is mapped).

When I deployed the app to IIS, it works as expected on the local server (server-localhost:port), but when I try to access the area via the domain name, I get redirected to the default app page and there seems no way to access the newly added area.

During my research, I came across URL Rewriting rules; I tried everything I found but no use.

Website uses HTTP, not HTTPS

Server: Windows Server 2022

IIS version: 10

Can you tell us some more details about the "area"?

Hi @Mahdi Khardani,

When you say areas, do you mean adding a feature module into a separate folder structure and isolating them in a specific area of the application and that area is mapped to the correct controller and action？

I think you can get better answers if you provide with more details - now it only allows for guessing. Can you please provide a minimal reproducible example?

Thanks everyone,

I found the reason behind it as I was using Cookies (without user consent) to store data which caused the issue, as a solution, I moved the data to Session variables and now all is good, thanks.
