Can you post the code for the rooting file.

global.asax

   protected override void OnApplicationStarted(object sender, EventArgs e)

        {

            Application_Start();

            base.OnApplicationStarting(sender, e);

        }

        protected void Application_Start()

        {

            BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles);

            RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);

            // Register the default hubs route: ~/signalr

            RouteTable.Routes.MapHubs();

            Bootstrapper.Initialise();

            ConfigureAutomapping();

            ModelBinders.Binders.Add(typeof(double), new DoubleModelBinder());

            ModelBinders.Binders.Add(typeof(decimal), new DecimalModelBinder());

        }

I have this in my routeconfig:

 routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");

            routes.MapRoute(name: "Default", url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",

                defaults: new { action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional });

Just an idea but have you tried with out the surface

http://localhost:55503/umbraco/Customer/Index

Yup i have and it didnt work.

I have made som changes and removed all surface controllers and just started using them as normal mvc controllers instead.

That works and now i dont have to add index to the url.

I beleive I read somewhere on umbraco.tv that the method is required regardless of there just being an index method...

Not sure but it might have been in this video : http://www.umbraco.tv/videos/umbraco-v7/developer/fundamentals/api-controllers/understanding-routing/

It's not mentioned in the Documentation for the video, but I beleive the narrator mentions that you must include the method name when accessing the ApiControllers via auto-routing. I beleive this rul to be true for auto contreoller routing as well.

Kind Regards,

It is not a api controller but a surface controller and before i upgraded from 6.1.6 to 7.1.8 i didnt have to add index to the url.

Fair enought, someone may be able to add further. Just for kicks I tested one of my (fairly simple) Surface Controllers with an Index action, and can confirm that without the {action} (in the /umbraco/(surface|api)/{Controller}/{action} scheme) my Index ActionResult does not fire, but includeing '/index' it works fine...

I have only experianced umbraco 7 so can only talk from my experiance. btw when I said "I beleive this rul to be true for auto contreoller routing as well." apart from the awful typing, spelling and grammar I meant "I believe this to be true for SurfaceController auto routing"!
