how to register a web service in iis?

Question

I have a web service made in c# and I want to know how to register it in IIS for consumption from another app. I know how to consume it from the same solution but this isn't the same case. Searching the internet, I've only found how to register an app.

Answer 1

A web service is treated like any other website in IIS. Simply convert the site to an application and pick the appropriate .Net framework version.

Answer 2

After you have setup the website for web service you need to do some setting in your web.config. I guess you might be missing them

Add service to the web.config like following

<services>
  <service name="RestService.RestServiceImpl" behaviorConfiguration="ServiceBehaviour">
    <endpoint address="" binding="webHttpBinding" contract="RestService.IRestServiceImpl" behaviorConfiguration="web">         
    </endpoint>
  </service>
</services>

Also add service behaviour and endpoint behaviour

<serviceBehaviors>
    <behavior name="ServiceBehaviour">
      <!-- To avoid disclosing metadata information, set the value below to false and remove the metadata endpoint above before deployment -->
      <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
      <!-- To receive exception details in faults for debugging purposes, set the value below to true.  Set to false before deployment to avoid disclosing exception information -->
      <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>
    </behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
  <endpointBehaviors>
    <behavior name="web">
      <webHttp/>
    </behavior>
  </endpointBehaviors>
