Hi Greg,
I ran into the same problem before. Windows Server 2008 R2 is all ready for MVC/REST API. But Windows server 2008 Standard is not. There are a few things to do to get it to work. I can’t remember exactly what I had to do. But have a google for Windows 2008 Standard MVC https://www.google.com.au/search?q=Windows+2008+standard+MVC&rlz=1C1GGRV_enAU752AU754&oq=Windows+2008+standard+MVC&aqs=chrome..69i57j69i60.8935j0j7&sourceid=chrome&ie=UTF-8 There is the Quick Fix for extensionless URL’s https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=11342 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/980368/a-update-is-available-that-enables-certain-iis-7-0-or-iis-7-5-handlers https://stackoverflow.com/questions/12495346/asp-net-4-5-mvc-4-not-working-on-windows-server-2008-iis-7# Also you have to make sure you are using the integrated pipeline mode for the application pool. That will hopefully get you up and running.

Also what is the OS? It's Windows Server 2008 Standard SP2 6002, so I think that comes with IIS 7.5. But anyway, I found a workaround by adding the "use all managed modules" setting, which isn't recommended. So one of my missions today is to find out just what this settings does, why it's discouraged and what a "real" fix might be.

It has existing static sites, ASP.NET <http://ASP.NET> apps and SOAP services all running fine. Routing is not working for the WebApi and all you get for any request is: HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. IIS Web Core MapRequestHandler StaticFile 0x80070002 I've had this before and I usually bumble around for an hour and find the Web.config file needs to add ExtensionlessUrlHandler-Integrated-4.0 with all verbs and the IIS role needs a few features installed, like Redirection (I think). So I usually stumble into getting it working, but this time I'm utterly blocked and nothing works. I've searched the whole Internet and tried every stupid thing I can think of. All the config and features are present, procmon reports no permission problems ... but I get nothing but the error above for the last 3 hours and I'm about to throw my box out the window. Is there something I've forgotten to try? Greg K
