How Can I Host A WCF App In IIS?

Question

I'm following Microsoft's tutorial on the topic here but it's not working and several items are unclear to me. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms733766.aspx

1. In step 2 it says, "ensure that ASP.NET has access to the contents of the folder". How can i do this?
2. Is it correct that the .cs code not be compiled? I've never ran .cs as a script of any kind.

Here is my error:

HTTP Error 404.17 - Not Found
The requested content appears to be script and will not be served by the static file handler.

Thanks.

Answer 1

Could you please ensure that your apppool in which your site is running in " Integrated " mode rather than Classic .

If the problem is not resolved after doing this, try to register your IIS with .netv4.0

For doing that

Go to Command Prompt
Go to the location C:\\Windows\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework\\v4.0.30319
Register the IIS using aspnet_regiis -i command

Answer 2

1. 打开IISManager并转到处理程序映射并右键单击静态文件并选择“还原为父级”

You can Host a WCF App/Service in IIS as you host simple website. It seems to me that you are trying to access/browse .cs file. If so, then it is not possible as it is code file. You should browse only your service file ie .svc file.

You can refer http://adarshdchaurasia.wordpress.com/2013/09/26/create-restful-wcf-service-api-using-get-post-step-by-step-guide/ to create a WCF service.

Please ensure that:

• You have .Net framework 4.0 installed and enabled on your machine. If not, install or try to re-install. Sometimes re-installation fix the unknown settings problem we accidentally create.
• First try to host a simple demo web site to check if the problem is with your WCF application or with hosting process your are
  following.

In step 2 it says, "ensure that ASP.NET has access to the contents of the folder". How can i do this?

I think it mean make sure your folder are accessible by the IIS_IUSRS
Check the publish folder properties -> Security tab -> group or user name.

Make sure the app is using application pool with correct .net framework version. normally I will just set .net framework v4.0.30319
