RESTful WCF issue (C#, .net 4)

Question

Im using this example as a guide: http://geekswithblogs.net/michelotti/archive/2010/08/21/restful-wcf-services-with-no-svc-file-and-no-config.aspx

I've created the site by following that example and it works fine in local development (VS 2010). Once I deploy to my server (Windows 2008 R2, IIS 7) it tells me it's not found (404).

Is there a setting in IIS that Im missing? I have it set up exactly like regular web entry.

Has anyone ever run into something like this?

Thanks!

Answer 1

Check that your app pool hosting the service uses .NET 4 and integrated pipeline. Also check that WCF 4 handlers are registred in IIS - ServiceModelReg.exe tool.

Answer 2

I did have the same problem, but mine was fixed two different ways.

Here's something the helped someone else.

What I had to do was register my .svc with the aspnet_isapi.dll. Is the web.config the same from the dev to the dev to the live? Here is something that helped me when I had the problem.
