title: Published .NET app is looking for API in source folder
body: <p>I'm new to API development and have created a Web API app that works fine locally (Visual Studio / IIS Express).  When I publish and deploy to IIS 8.5, the HTML pages work fine, but when I make an ajax call to my APIs, I get a 500 error. It somehow seems to be looking at my source code folder on my c: drive!, instead of the dll.  </p>
  
  <p>I'm guessing I botched something in the VS Publish setting, or in my API routing in WebApiConfig.  </p>

  <p>Any idea on why it's looking in my source directory?</p>
