Do minar change your code like below :- 
@RestResource(urlMapping='/Account/Contacts/*')
global with sharing class AccountManager
{
  @HttpGet
   global static Account getAccount()
   {
      RestRequest request = RestContext.request;
        String AccountId= request.requestURI.substring(   request.requestURI.lastIndexOf('/')+1);
        Account result =  [SELECT Id,Name FROM Account WHERE Id = :AccountId];               
        return result;
   }
 
}
I just added * in your URL


Your URL should be :- /services/apexrest/Account/Contacts/<AccountID>
Method :- Get

Is there any namespace defined in your org? If this is defined, then you will have to use below mentioned syntax to access your service:

/services/apexrest/namespace/Account/Contacts/001...

I am giving the url as /services/apexrest//Account/Contacts/<AccountID>
Error is: Service not found at: /services/apexrest/Account/Contacts/001......

Remove that extra "/" and try like below :
/services/apexrest/Account/Contacts/<AccountID>

Hello s_mac,

Try this :
  
String accId = req.requestURI.substringBetween('Account/', '/Contacts');

Well you can try below code.

global with sharing class AccountManager
{
  @HttpGet
   global static Account getAccount()
   {
      RestRequest request = RestContext.request;
        String AccountId= demo.substringBetween('Account/', '/Contacts');
        Account result =  [SELECT Id,Name FROM Account WHERE Id = :AccountId];               
        return result;
   }
 
}

Amit will rightly criticize me for adding on to the already tangential comment but... recently the following capability was released:

GET /services/data/v36.0/sobjects/Account/{id}/contacts

More info here: https://developer.salesforce.com/docs/atlas.en-us.api_rest.meta/api_rest/resources_sobject_relationships.htm

Got the same error - took me some time till I figured out that I am updating the Case status with the wrong value => should be => Status = 'Closed' in order for the IsClosed to be true.
