title: Why is MVC Web Api only reachable when started in debug mode?
body: <p>I am facing a strange problem on both my laptop and desktop computer.  </p>
  
  <p>In my solution I have an MVC 4 Web Api and the solution is started by Visual Studio 2013.<br>
  So If set the Web API project as startup project then When I type some url of the web api it hits the controller.  </p>
  
  <p>But if the startup folder is another project, like a website that consumes this web api, then the web api is just unreachable.  </p>
  
  <p>I even tried to hit the same url that works when web api is started in debug mode.</p>
  
  <p>So, what could be wrong?</p>
