I am running windows 8 IIS 8.5.
I created my site on IIS and created another site in a directory below for my webapi service So my site looks like this:
www.mysite.com
www.mysite.com/api // this exists on disk in a directory called api below the site dir. Configured in IIS as a site not a virtual dir.
Of course iis is unable to implement routing for either site.
ww.mysite.com works if I add /index.html. If I type www.mysite.com into browser I get a 404.
The api site simply gives me 404 errors no matter what I do.
Both sites work perfectly fine when running in visual studio. www.mysite.com is a mvc 5 application www.mysite.com/api is a webapi 3 application.
Some questions such as this one:
ASP.NET 4.5 MVC 4 not working on Windows Server 2008 IIS 7
recommend
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true" />
which does not work and is suboptimal even if it did work.
Other problems others have identified:
Global.asax is being deployed.
.net 4.5 is installed under control panel -> Add windows features -> IIS -> Application development
WebDav is not installed
aspnet_regiis -i is not relevant (use control panel)
default error handing is enabled
Here are web.configs:
web.config from mysite

Again, adding
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true" />
does not work.
