ASP.NET Web API - Getting AspNetInitializationExceptionModule after deployment

Question

I wrote REST service using ASP.NET Web API

I’ve also set “copy local” property of the below libraries to true.

System.Web.Mvc System.Web.Routing System.Web.Abstractions

I deployed it using visual studio publish tool through FTP to my hosting account.

However, when I open this service in browser, I get the following error:

**HTTP Error 500.0 - Internal Server Error The page cannot be displayed because an internal server error has occurred.

Module AspNetInitializationExceptionModule

Notification BeginRequest

Handler StaticFile

Error Code 0x00000000**

Would you have any suggestions what may be wrong? I cannot solve it on my own so far and it really blocks me.

Greetings

Can you post some info from the event viewer?? Also do you have the server with the latest window update? Some weird erros are fixed by them. — zaiboot
Web API is part of asp.net 4.5, you sure you have 4.5 installed correctly and it's isapi is registered? — Akash Kava

http://forums.iis.net/t/1159785.aspx seems to suggest you need to run aspnet_regiis -i as an administrator to fix this.
