ASP.NET Web API index.html does not load; Server Error in '/' Application, The resource cannot be found

I'm following this tutorial.

When I build the solution the index.html page would not show up and I get this error: Server Error in '/' Application. I'm not sure how to enable detailed error reporting.

This is my Web.config page:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

    </handlers></system.webServer>
</configuration>

IIS Express shows it as http://localhost:11527/

Are you sure you are accessing it like http://localhost:11527/index.html. Note that this was created with an Empty project template and so there is no MVC and so you cannot expect a default view showing up and so you would need to explicitly mention index.html in your url.
