I have spa and have created a virtual application
Virtual Path: /api
Physical Path site\api

To access the api the url is https://{mywebsite}.azurewebsites.net/api/api/ping. I don't understand the double api reference in the url why is not just /api/ping?

Thanks

    Hi, @Henry Petersen

    Are you putting the files in site\api instead of site\wwwroot\api ?

    When I put the files under site\wwwroot and pointed to the virtual application site\wwwroot\api it worked fine.
    What is your App Service configuration information and the structure of the uploaded file?

    corrected my path to 'site/wwwroot/api', updated my publishing profile to include /api in the Site Name. That published the api to correct folder finally, but was still having the same issue with having to reference '{my web site}/api/api/ping'. Finally determined it had to be something in the code itself and sure enough the Route in the api controller was referencing 'api/[controller]'. Changed that to '[controller]' and all works perfectly now.
