Web api interface works locally but not on Azure

Question

My case is very similar to this question, but since he did not get an answer I thought I'd throw some more input.

Everything works fine locally (on the VS embedded server). When I deploy to Azure, I get a 404 error accompanied by "No type was found that matches the controller named...".

However, when I load the routedebugger module the mapping seems ok even on Azure.

What can I do to debug that problem?

Thanks,

Alex

Edit: my routes are created this way:

            GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
                name: "DefaultApi",
                routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",
                defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
            };
            GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
                name: "ActionApi",
                routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
                defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
            );

Edit 2: Here my controller class

    public class EmployeeController : ApiController
{
    // GET api/<controller>
    public IEnumerable<Employee> Get()
    {
        using (var context = new nws())
        {
            return context.Employees;
        }
    }

    // GET api/<controller>/5
    public Employee Get(int id)
    {
        using (var context = new nws())
        {
            return context.Employees.FirstOrDefault(e => e.ID == id);
        }
    }

    // GET api/<controller>/getbyatid/5
    public Employee GetByAtId(string id)
    {
        using (var context = new nws())
        {
            return context.Employees.FirstOrDefault(e => e.AtUserID == id);
        }
    }

    // POST api/<controller>
    public void Post([FromBody]string value)
    {
    }

    // PUT api/<controller>/5
    public void Put(int id, [FromBody]string value)
    {
    }

    // DELETE api/<controller>/5
    public void Delete(int id)
    {
    }

    // GET api/<controller>/timebank/5
    public int? GetTimeBank(string id)
    {
        using (var context = new nws())
        {
            var employee = context.Employees.FirstOrDefault(e => e.AtUserID == id);
            if (employee != null)
                return employee.GetTimeBank();
            return null;
        }
    }
}

Switch the order of routes and try again.

        GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
            name: "ActionApi",
            routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{action}/{id}",
            defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
        );
        GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Routes.MapHttpRoute(
            name: "DefaultApi",
            routeTemplate: "api/{controller}/{id}",
            defaults: new { id = RouteParameter.Optional }
        };
