Dear all,

I faces a problem when try to upload file by API post method. In the debug mode it work fines but when I publish the solution to my local IIS it don't work. The front-end is implemented using HTML5, CSS3, JQuery so it is not possible to execute upload code from here, from the form I call the POST API.

What's your file size, May be its problem with httpruntime you need to configure httpruntime in web.config.

Virender,

it is very small size it is less than 50KB, I think the problem is related to the API. Is it possible for the API to read the local path of the server.

Hi elmozamil,

Welcome to the ASP.NET forum.

In the debug mode it work fines but when I publish the solution to my local IIS it don't work.

Based on my understanding, I think maybe it is because of the publish IIS.

You could check the article and confirm that you have not missing anything when publish your solution.
