Setting up Web.config to work Side-by-Side with ASP.NET MVC 4 - Location Tag not resolving value “api”

Question

I checked out Run servicestack side by side with another web framework.

When I add the location tag the "api" is unresolved...what do I need to do to get the location tag to be aware of "api"?

Firstly make sure you follow the README.txt instructions for running ServiceStack in ASP.NET MVC. ServiceStack automatically infers the handler path based on the <location> tag, if there's more than one or it has some other issue inferring, it can be explicitly set in Config.ServiceStackHandlerFactoryPath, e.g:

SetConfig(new EndpointHostConfig { 
    ServiceStackHandlerFactoryPath = "api",
});
