MVC + DataTables: Ajax error when loading base url. Works fine when adding home/Index to url

I am getting an ajax error when I try to load the base url for my MVC 5 application that uses DataTables. However, it works fine when I add Home/Index to the end of the url. How can I ensure that the base url works without throwing an ajax error?
Ajax:
"ajax": {
"url": "../Home/GetTaskLogList",
"type": 'POST',
"content-type": "application/json; charset=utf-8",
"processData": false,
"dataType": "json",
"headers": "headers",
"data": "window.JSON.stringify(obj)",
//"headers": { "__RequestVerificationToken": $('input[name=__RequestVerificationToken]').val() },
//"data": { "__RequestVerificationToken": $('input[name=__RequestVerificationToken]').val() },
"traditional": true,
"dataSrc": function (data) {
return JSON.parse(data);
},
},
Route config:
public static void RegisterRoutes(RouteCollection routes)
{
routes.IgnoreRoute("{resource}.axd/{*pathInfo}");
routes.MapRoute(
name: "Default",
url: "{controller}/{action}/{id}",
defaults: new { controller = "Home", action = "Index", id = UrlParameter.Optional }
);
}

If you don't add
Home/Indexwhat does the server response with? It will depend upon the routing in your application and how it is setup if it needs that or not. I'm afraid that is out of my depth though - you'd need to ask on SO or a .NET specific forum about that.Allan
Actually the base url (localhost/WTM/) works with just /Home on the end as well as with /Home/Index. The server responds with a 404 not found error for GetTaskLogList. GetTaskLogList is requesting localhost/Home/GetTaskLogList whereas the base url is localhost/WTM/. If I set WTM as my controller and Home as the action in my routing, I get a "forbidden" error
The solution to my problem was to change the ajax url to:
