title: New installation of Umbraco which now ignores .net web api routes
body: <p>I have a <code>.net web api</code> project, which has an empty <code>Umbraco</code> installation in it. 
  We plan to query <code>Umbraco</code> content via nodeid's and return this data back via the <code>web api</code> to the SPA application.</p>
  
  <p>The issue I have is when I run the <code>web api</code> project instead of being greeted with my <code>web api</code> home page, I'm shown the following:</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.stack.imgur.com/NyaTQ.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/NyaTQ.png" alt="enter image description here"></a> </p>
  
  <p>It seems that <code>Umbraco</code> is now ignoring my <code>web api</code> project completely, even when I type <code>home/index</code>  I'm still shown the above.</p>
  
  <p>I've searched the web and found the following <a href="https://www.andreasjohansson.eu/technical-blog/configuring-custom-web-api-routing-for-umbraco-sites/" rel="nofollow noreferrer">Configuring custom Web api routing for Umbraco sites</a> yet my issue still persists.</p>
  
  <p>Can someone assists in how I go making <code>Umbraco</code> include my <code>web api</code> routes? </p>
  
  <p>I'm new to Umbraco and Web Api combination so any help would be highly greatful.</p>
