MVC - The requested resource does not support http method 'POST'

I have read various posts around the message

The requested resource does not support http method 'POST'

I have made sure I have included the Http attribute. I have tried both System.Web.HttpPost and System.Web.Mvc.HttpPost

I have also included the [FromBody] tag

I have an angularjs page trying to post to a MVC method

Here is my angularjs call

$http({
    url: '/api/entry',
    method: 'POST',
    headers: {
        'Content-Type': 'application/json', /*or whatever type is relevant */
        'Accept': 'application/json' /* ditto */
    },
    data: {
        'data': $scope.userEntry
    }
}).success(function (data, status, headers, config) {
    $scope.Message = "Saved successfully";
    $scope.working = false;
}).error(function (data, status, headers, config) {
    $scope.title = "Oops... something went wrong";
    $scope.working = false;
});

Here is my MVC method

[System.Web.Mvc.HttpPost]
private async void Post([FromBody] UserEntry userEntry)
{   
    if (userEntry.UserEntryID > 0)
    {
        // update
        var dbUserEntry = this.db.UserEntries
                .Where(u => u.UserEntryID == userEntry.UserEntryID)
                .FirstOrDefault();

        dbUserEntry.TeamName = userEntry.TeamName;            
    }
    else { 
        // insert
        this.db.UserEntries.Add(userEntry);
    }

    await this.db.SaveChangesAsync();
}

No matter what I try, I cannot access my Post method and keep getting the same error mentioned above.

Your method is private. Make it public and it should work much better.

As a side note, you may want to reconsider using async with void.

Prefer async Task methods over async void methods

@David it seems like there is a confusion here as you have used/api/ which is default route for web api but you have mentioned you are using mvc.
It's web api if your controller is inherited from ApiController. In that case System.Web.Http.Post attribute would make the difference.
Though you have to make the method public to make it work in any case as @smoksnes mentioned.
