I have deployed the default asp.net mvc 4 web api project to my windows server 2008 RC and am experiensing some issues with calling the web api actions. I'm quite new in the server/iis configuration part.

I can open the home page, but the API part doesnt work.

I'm getting such an error:

HTTP Error 403.18 - Forbidden The specified request cannot be processed in the application pool that is configured for this resource on the Web server

Module IIS Web Core

Notification BeginRequest

Handler StaticFile

Error Code 0x00000000

Requested URL http://server.com:80/index.php?p=MvcApplication2_deploy/api/values/

Physical Path C:\Inetpub\vhosts\server.com\Webservice\index.php

Logon Method Not yet determined

Logon User Not yet determined

I have checked Url Rewrite it is empty, have disabled WebDAV and also checked the Handler Mappings every thing seems to be ok there.

Could any one give me some hints what could be wrong?

Thanks!!!
