    Custom cshtml page in Umbraco 6 (using a reservedPath)

    Hi guys, this is a slightly odd question.

    I'm upgrading an old 4.10.1 site to Umbraco 6.2.1 (hurrah). It's been a bit of a nightmare as the site isn't that straightforward, but happily everything is working and I've updated / refactored a lot of code. One problem remains...

    The site has a .cshtml page (in the soltion, let's called it `/handlers/thing.cshtml` that was being used to render out some JSON (don't ask). There is an entry for the directory in the umbracoReservedPaths config entry (`~/handlers/`).

    In Umbraco 4, accessing this page worked ok, but in Umbraco 6 the page is 404ing. I assume this is something to do with the switch to MVC?

    Can anybody think of something obvious I might be missing? I know it's a hack but I don't want to have to rewrite this module and do it properly.

    Hi Zac

    Perhaps you need to explicitly add the path to the filename as well in the "umbracoReservedUrls" key?

    Hi Jan, unfortunately it doesn't help - I still get the 404

    Any other ideas? :)

    Got it. Silly me. This line got added during upgrades:

    <add key="webpages:Enabled" value="false"/>

    Obviously it should be

    <add key="webpages:Enabled" value="true"/>
