MVC Routing issue with same parameter different names

Question

I have the following routings in my RoutingConfig.cs

        routes.MapRoute(
                name: "Default",
                url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
                defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
        );

        // Not working why?
        routes.MapRoute(
            name: "AdminLoginRequestUrl",
            url: "{controller}/{action}/{requestUrl}",
            defaults: new { controller = "Admin", action = "Login", requestUrl= UrlParameter.Optional }
        );

You cannot create different route only by differentiating parameter name, both route present similar one. Also move your custom route above default one. You can try this

    routes.MapRoute(
        name: "AdminLoginRequestUrl",
        url: "{controller}/{action}/route2/{requestUrl}",
        defaults: new { controller = "Admin", action = "Login", requestUrl= UrlParameter.Optional }
    );

   routes.MapRoute(
            name: "Default",
            url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
            defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
    );

you can use anything insted of route2 to differentiate from default route

You cannot differ your routs by variable names. You can create more specific route like this:

    routes.MapRoute(
        name: "AdminLoginRequestUrl",
        url: "Admin/{action}/{requestUrl}",
        defaults: new { controller = "Admin", action = "Login", requestUrl= UrlParameter.Optional }
    );

routes.MapRoute(
            name: "Default",
            url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
            defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
    );

Note that the order of registration is significant.

Or you can rename your parameters to something that will be appropriate for both controllers and use that.

Consider using MapHttpAttributeRoutes(), you can read about it here: https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/webdev/2013/10/17/attribute-routing-in-asp-net-mvc-5/1.

Edit: Changed link for better article.

Then you can use attributes to define more specific rules on your actions.

Example:

public class Admin : Controller
{
    [Route("admin/{requestUrl}")]
    public ActionResult Login(string requestUrl) { ... }
}
