Creating a web Api and trying to run it from iis doesnt work

Question

When i'm launch my web api application from visual studio all seems to work perfect. But when i'm trying to publish it and run it via IIS7 it doesnt work.

First step i create a controller with name Person.

public class PersonController : ApiController { // GET: api/Person public IEnumerable<string> Get() { return new string[] { "value1", "value2" }; } // GET: api/Person/5 public string Get(int id) { return "value"; } // POST: api/Person public void Post([FromBody]string value) { } // PUT: api/Person/5 public void Put(int id, [FromBody]string value) { } // DELETE: api/Person/5 public void Delete(int id) { }

Then i'm choosing Publish, and selecting IIS,FTP,etc. Then i'm selecting Filesystem and rooting my path:

Here is my files inside folder

Then inside IIS i choose add new web site:

Now when i'm opening and trying to access in my controller i'm getting error below: http://localhost:8080/FirstSite/api/person

Is there something am i doing wrong? Is there something wrong with my files which i export?

You should use a URL like http://localhost:8080/api/person. — Lex Li

If you added a website and left the hostname blank, you should access your API at http://localhost:8080/api/person

Check if the website is using the appropriate Application pool. .Net Framework Version: 4.0 Pipeline Mode: Integrated

Is this the first time you will use your IIS with ASPNet? If yes, you might need to register your IIS. You will need to execute the following: aspnet_regiis.exe -i aspnet_regiis.exe -ga {user} aspnet_regbrowsers.exe -i See here for details msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/k6h9cz8h.aspx msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms229858.aspx

If you've done that and still not working, try running iisreset.exe

try adding the below to your hosted web.config

<system.webServer> <modules> <remove name="UrlRoutingModule-4.0" /> <add name="UrlRoutingModule-4.0" type="System.Web.Routing.UrlRoutingModule" preCondition="" /> </modules> </system.webServer>
