Routing and Content Directory
So a default MVC project comes with a Content directory. On my local box everything works fine. However, when I deploy I get the following error:
"The IControllerFactory 'HowMvcWorks.Infrastructure.Configuration.StructureMapControllerFactory' did not return a controller for the name 'Content'."
Now, I know that "StructureMapControllerFactory" is my own class. The problem isn't that. The problem is that it is trying to route the Content directory. I've tried e few variations of routes.IgnoreRoute("{Content}/{*pathInfo}"); in my global asax to get it to not route the content directory but it either gives me the same error or I get a 404. Any idea?

The issue is most likely that the files isn't part of the deployed website. You need to include the files in Visual Studio and in the property pane find the "Build Action" and select the "Content" option to ensure that the files will be copied.
If you need to define a route to ignore, the proper syntax is
"Content/{*pathInfo}", but you shouldn't need this unless theRouteExistingFilesproperty is enabled.tt closed this discussion on 19 Feb, 2011 08:08 AM.

But I am pushing the whole repository. Why would it need to be in the project file for it to be pushed/recognized. This isn't true in any other situations for resources like this.

The content of the output directory (which is what we deploy to the
web servers) is generated by msbuild, and the content is decided not
by what is in the repository, but what is in the project file.
