Cant get ASP.NET Core Web API to work with IIS [closed]

Question

I'm building an ASP.NET Core MVC Web Api application and I'm trying to get it to work with IIS on my own machine. I have read different blogs and tried different things but just can't seem to get it to work... My Winform client just gets a 404 when calling the Web api. Navigating to the site roo via web browser gives me a HTTP Error 403.14 - Forbidden.

Im running Windows 10 Pro. IIS installed. ASP.NET Core Server Hosting Bundle is installed

I have added the website in IIS. Application pool is set to No Managed Code. In VS2015 I Publish the website to a local folder. I copy the content of that folder to my website folder where IIS is looking. Then I would expect it to work but it doesn't :(

Here is my setup:

web.config

  <system.webServer>
<handlers>
  <add name="aspNetCore" path="*" verb="*" modules="AspNetCoreModule" resourceType="Unspecified" />
</handlers>
<directoryBrowse enabled="true"/>
<aspNetCore processPath="%LAUNCHER_PATH%"
      arguments="%LAUNCHER_ARGS%"
      stdoutLogEnabled="true"
      stdoutLogFile=".\logs\aspnetcore-stdout"
      forwardWindowsAuthToken="false" />

Program.cs

public static void Main(string[] args)
{
    var host = new WebHostBuilder()
        .UseKestrel()
        .UseWebRoot("wwwroot")
        .UseContentRoot(Directory.GetCurrentDirectory())
        .UseIISIntegration()
        .UseStartup<Startup>()
        .Build();

    host.Run();
}

StartUp.cs

        public Startup(IHostingEnvironment env)
    {
        var builder = new ConfigurationBuilder()
            .SetBasePath(env.ContentRootPath)
            .AddJsonFile("appsettings.json", optional: true, reloadOnChange: true)
            .AddJsonFile($"appsettings.{env.EnvironmentName}.json", optional: true)
            .AddEnvironmentVariables();
        Configuration = builder.Build();
    }

appsettings.json

  "Logging": {
    "IncludeScopes": false,
    "LogLevel": {

Answer 1

Point IIS to MyWebAPI instead of at MyWebAPI/wwwroot. Otherwise you will receive an "HTTP Error 403.14 - Forbidden" error.

Here is a demo application on GitHub. It is using the same setup as the app in your answer is using. It worked when I published it to my IIS like this:

dotnet publish -o C:\inetpub\wwwroot\sandbox\
