Publishing .net core 2.2 app online and configuration

Question

I'm trying to publish .net core app online, however I'm not sure if I'm doing the publish procedure correctly.

This is the output of my publish:

When running the app locally this is the default view:

I'm not sure how to deploy the app online, I tried to push the files from the publish output but I'm getting this screen:

These are the application properties:

What am I doing wrong?

Answer 1

When you run the application locally, the URL has the controller/action route specified:

https://localhost:44394/api/values

But the error screen shot is a base URL without a route:

http://api.mywebsite.com

Try adding the route to the published website URL and see if you can reach your app that way:

http://api.mywebsite.com/api/values

There should be a way to make the base URL automatically route to the values controller. Bonus points if anyone knows how to do that.
