Deploying ASP.NET Web API to IIS Server

Question

I developed my first Web API and am trying to deploy it to my QA server. I created a website in IIS called qa.mysite.com. I deployed my Web API to this folder and am trying to run it.

When I debug the site locally and go to

http://localhost:3735/api/Bid_Received

it works correctly. However, when I go to

http://qa.mysite.com/api/Bid_Received

I get a 404 error.

What am I doing wrong? Did I not upload the correct files?

When I look in my folder that I deployed my web API to I see the following items:

Folders: bin, Content, Images, Scripts, Views Files: favicon.ico, Global.asax, packages.config, Web.config

Ok, I figured out the problems.

I didn't have .Net 4.0 installed on this server so I installed it.
I registered .Net 4.0 with IIS
I set this website to use .Net 4.0
This box was running IIS6 so I followed the advice in this article to get ASP.Net Web API to work with IIS6 ASP.Net MVC on IIS6 Walkthrough
