间歇性WCF激活错误

Question

I'm running a WCF service locally on my dev box, and my tests check all is well with the service.

Usually, all is fine, but sometimes (5% of the time), I get the error

The requested service, 'net.tcp://csmattdev2:9000/Wcf/Service.svc' could not be activated. See the server's diagnostic trace logs for more information.

The info in the event log looks like:

WebHost failed to process a request.
 Sender Information: System.ServiceModel.ServiceHostingEnvironment+HostingManager/11404313
 Exception: System.ServiceModel.ServiceActivationException: The service '/Wcf/Service.svc' cannot be activated due to an exception during compilation.

To fix, the only thing that works is to reset IIS, and rebuild the comms project.

Any ideas what this could be?

Answer 1

Try removing everything from the web root except for the following things.

1) the .svc you are using to expose the endpoint
2) the .config file
3) the bin files that contain your service code

Bascially, remove all the web application stuff from the web root
