404 Error when trying to access Web API 2 Service deployed to IIS 7.5

Question

I have created a standalone REST service using Web API 2 framework. The project contains no UI as the service will be consumed elsewhere on another domain.

The service works completely fine when running locally and all HTTP methods work/return as expected when testing with an in-browser REST client.

However, after publishing the service and deploying to IIS 7.5 , I cannot access any of the resources for any of the routes for my service in the REST client. I am continually being returned a 404 - Resource Not Found error.

Things I have already done:

Added the following to my Web.Config :

<system.webServer>
    <validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" />
    <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true" />
        <handlers>
            <remove name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0" />
            <add name="ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0" path="*." verb="*" type="System.Web.Handlers.TransferRequestHandler" resourceType="Unspecified" requireAccess="Script" preCondition="integratedMode,runtimeVersionv4.0" />
        </handlers>
  </system.webServer>

Ensured AppPool is correct (as far as I am aware this is correct):

It may also be useful to know my publishing configuration for my publishing profile:

• Publishing method: File system
• Configuration: Debug
• Delete all existing files prior to publish: No
• Precompile during publishing: No
• Exclude files from App_Data folder: Yes

IIS Bindings:

• Type: HTTP
• Hostname: www.MySubdomain.Domain.co.uk
• Port: 80
• IP Address: *

An example URL of how I am trying to access my service in the REST client is as follows:

• www.MySubDomain.Domain.co.uk/api/ControllerName/1 (GET)

• (This works fine locally using api/ControllerName/1 )

Any additional things to try would be appreciated.

Answer 1

Turns out my bindings were slightly incorrect! As I am hosting it on a sub-domain I did not require the www. in my bindings. Works fine once I removed these 4 characters!
