Unable to get localDB data from web api when app is deployed.

I have deployed my web api application solution on IIS full. I am now able to see my home page index when I go to the root page of the site. That is fine but when I try to make a get request 192.xxx.xxx.xxx/api/AH (AH being my controller name) it only returns Json error. I am using Entity Framework 6.

JavaScript

{
Message: "An error has occurred."
}

It should be getting data from my localDB. What I tried is to add permissions to my folder. Checked connection strings in IIS and in VS. I've checked my application pool
What can I do? I'm stuck.

When you say "my localDB" are you expecting the web page to be reading a database on your local PC?

on the server's folder. It is a localDB in the app_Data in the MVC frame.

I fixed it. I just used an SQL Server Express database and used it's connection string. Thank you!
