Web API OData V4 works locally but not on IIS

I have a ASP .NET Web Application(.Net Framework 4.6.1) running on VS2017 which creates an OData V4 Service as described here(https://www.odata.org/blog/how-to-use-web-api-odata-to-build-an-odata-v4-service-without-entity-framework/)

The Web API is running correctly on my localhost server when running from VS 2017 IIS Express. http://localhost:[portNumber]/$metadata returns correct data. enter image description here

But, when i am publishing the same project to IIS Server via Project->Publish->File System. After successfully publishing and if i run https://hostname/folderName/$metadata. It is saying directory not found. In the picture, testCors/testOData is the location where i published my Web API Project.

enter image description here

Here is how the folder structure in IIS looks like after publishing enter image description here

Here, is my WebApiConfig.cs

 public static void Register(HttpConfiguration config)
        {
            config.MapODataServiceRoute("odata", null, GetEdmModel(), new DefaultODataBatchHandler(GlobalConfiguration.DefaultServer));
            config.EnsureInitialized();
        }
        private static IEdmModel GetEdmModel()
        {
            ODataConventionModelBuilder builder = new ODataConventionModelBuilder();
            builder.Namespace = "Demos";
            builder.ContainerName = "DefaultContainer";
            builder.EntitySet<Person>("People");
            builder.EntitySet<Trip>("Trips");
            builder.EntitySet<Employee>("Employees");
            var edmModel = builder.GetEdmModel();
            return edmModel;
        }

Here is my Web.Config

The issue was with how i published my Application. I published it as a Folder whereas in IIS i have to convert it to Web Site/Application.

After converting it to an application, it is working correctly.
