405 Method Not Allowed in my Web API

Today I went back to an existing project that I spend my time on and I started getting errors when doing PUTs to my Web API.  The errors didn't happen before, but I've now pulled down the latest code so something's changed.

SQL Server Alias

Our team of several developers is building an application connects to SQL Server.  Well all have local instances of SQL Server, but the connection strings vary from developer to developer.  Rather than having each developer use a different connection string, we figured we'd configure SQL Server Aliases on each of our PC's so that we could all use the same connection string.

This approach worked well.  It took a little fiddling to get my local alias working, so I figured I document the steps here.
