What do I have to do to get my ASP.NET MasterPage to work on my server?

I followed some examples in my ASP.NET 4.5 in C# book for Master Pages. So I made a more complex site using them, and it all works locally. But when I push it to my remote server, it is saying the file cannot be found. So I made a more basic master page in Visual Studio 2015 to check. And it works locally, but when pushed to the remote server, it still does not work. I couldn't find any answers online either. I've tried some different urls thinking I was using the wrong url too. I've used
myWebSite.com/TestFolder/MasterPage.master
myWebSite.com/TestFolder/
myWebSite.com/TestFolder/MasterPage

So I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The code for my master page looks like this: 

<%@ Master Language="C#" AutoEventWireup="true" CodeFile="MasterPage.master.cs" Inherits="MasterPage" %>

<!DOCTYPE html>

<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head runat="server">
<title>Tester</title>
<asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="head" runat="server">
</asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
</head>
<body>
    <h1>This is a test of the master page.</h1>
    <form id="form1" runat="server">
        <div>
            <asp:ContentPlaceHolder id="ContentPlaceHolder1" runat="server">

            </asp:ContentPlaceHolder>
        </div>
    </form>
</body>
</html>

I fixed it. I made sure that the file path to the CodeFile in the header was "./MasterPage.master.cs" and the MasterPageFile reference in the header of the content page was "./MasterPage.master" not "~/MasterPage.master".

The url also worked just as myWebSite.com/

Thank you for the help anyways. Much appreciated.
