We are trying to consume a WCF proxy service form a Web API REST service. When we allow Visual Studio to run under the default URL likehttp://localhost:62664/everything works well. When we trying to run it under http://localhost/MyWebApi/ we get this error The virtual path '/' maps to another application, which is not allowed. The service will run if I map a new local IIS site to it and runhttp://localhost/
This behavior is replicated on each server we deploy it to. Any suggestions for resolving this are welcome. Below is the full exception
Message: "The virtual path '/' maps to another application, which is not allowed."
