  • A few questions: What version of Sitecore are you using? Do you have any other modules installed? Where/how are you encountering this error, e.g. are you browsing directly to the layout service endpoint (as the docs suggest) or are you seeing this error in some other context?

It sounds like some kind of custom routing setup may be conflicting with Layout Service's routing registration.

Layout service (App_Config/Sitecore/LayoutService/*.config) patches its route registrations after the Sitecore.Mvc.Pipelines.Loader.InitializeRoutes, Sitecore.Mvc pipeline processor, so if some other custom routing causes this patch to fail, the LS route may not be registered correctly.

Using the /sitecore/admin/showconfig.aspx page will let you diagnose this issue and see the interactions between custom routing. If the Sitecore.LayoutService.Mvc.Pipelines.Initialize.RegisterRoutes, Sitecore.LayoutService.Mvc pipeline processor does not go before the InitializeRoutes pipeline processor, the LS will not register correctly.

  • I am seeing the Sitecore.LayoutService.Mvc.Pipelines.Initialize.RegisterRoutes, Sitecore.LayoutService.Mvc pipeline registered before InitializeRoutes pipeline processor. But I am still have the issue.

  • Is this a fresh Sitecore installation or an existing installation with customizations? Try removing customizations and re-adding them to isolate the one causing issues.

You can check your configs, for the better understanding how the configs work, check this link.

https://doc.sitecore.com/SdnArchive/Articles/Administration/Configuring%20Multiple%20Sites.html

  • modules_website - reserved for modules usage, front-end side
  • Website - default front-end web site, also used for WebEdit, Debug, Preview

The patch works in orders, so If you want to patch your jss before website use patch:after="site[@name='modules_website'] this way it wont conflict your existing site.
