MVC DoddleReports 404 Not Found - asp.net-mvc

Question

I have recently, as in about an hour ago, tried to implement the DoddleReports functionality into my MVC application.
Pretty positive I followed the documentation to the T. However, when I go to input my URL it gives me a 404 not found. I installed the packages via NuGet and I only need Excel so I added OpenXML (along with the dependencies).
My controller:
using System;
using System.Data;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using VAGTC.Models;
using VAGTC.ViewModels;
using VAGTC.Helpers;
using DoddleReport.Web;
using DoddleReport;
namespace VAGTC.Controllers
{
public class reportsController : Controller
{
//
// GET: /Excel/
VAGTCEntities db = new VAGTCEntities();
public ActionResult Index()
{
return View();
}
public ReportResult OrganizationReport()
{
var matrix = from d in db.Organizations
select d;
var report = new Report(matrix.ToReportSource());
return new ReportResult(report);
}
}
}
The RouterConfig:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Web;
using System.Web.Mvc;
using System.Web.Routing;
using DoddleReport.Web;
namespace VAGTC
{
public class RouteConfig
{
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.MapReportingRoute();
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Account", action = "Login", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
}
}
}
When I installed Doddle with NuGet - it also automatically inputted the stuff needed in the web.config (not the web.config in the View folder!). I read a comment, right here, in the documentation for configuring Doddle with MVC and replaced the code. (but it also didn't work with code that was auto-generated). I didn't get fancy with customizing anything yet as I just wanted to get it working first!
So, how come the 404 page is coming up? It makes me seem it is something with routing but I am unsure of what specifically.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
I am using it in debug mode - so maybe that could be a reason? This is the link I am using:
EDIT* Uploaded to my site and still gives a 404.
http://localhost:2530/reports/OrganizationReport.xls
EDIT 2*
After messing around, and changing a couple things according to the forum post given by #fiorebat. I debugged it right after it generates the report, var report = new Report(matrix.ToReportSource()); and it gives this error once it returns the report.

You need to add under the system.webServer in the web config this configuration:
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true" ></modules>
I have same issue, report without extension works, i debug the route with "RouteDebuggin" and it's working. Seems that DoodleReport plugin don't calls the correct action.
