This occured after I installed Nuget-Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi.Cors, first it did not even work locally but then i managed to get it working with the Nuget-Package Manager Commando "Update-Package".
Please reinstall ASP.Net in server with this command
aspnet_regiis.exe -i
This will set ASP.net right and make it work
you can simply install the package:
Install-Package Microsoft.AspNet.WebApi -Version 5.2.3
or the version with which you are getting the error.
