So i am new to WCF Services and I need to create a dulplex service (working on it) however I cannot figure out where/how to host it (external). Right now I am using http://aspspider.com for my hosting, which works fine, but i am having trouble geting a wcf service application working.
I found this example which i will be using to help get my service working. I tried to just upload the service to aspspider, but i get an error.
Configuration Error Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.
Parser Error Message: It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS.
Source Error:

The service works fine locally, so i just need help to get it working on aspspider (or if you have a better option).
I use Station5.net as my host and never had any issues with them.

Had some pen testers test an ASP.NET MVC4 site, and they found I was showing a "raw" error with the URL: /%20/ e.g. https://example.com/%20/
Server Error in '/' Application.
Configuration Error
Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately.
Parser Error Message: The configSource file 'Web_ConnectionStrings.config' is also used in a parent, this is not allowed.
Source Error:
Line 17: <!-- xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -->
Line 18: <!-- these settings can be found in external files - this prevents application restart when they are changed -->

Line 21: <!-- xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx -->
Although it should be, this isn't a normal 404 error, I already catch those and display a custom page. I also catch 500's and display them nicely too. This error happens earlier than the Application_Error() in global.asax.cs so it's not caught there.
This seems to be caused by the slash-space-slash confusing IIS or the application, and it's trying to load the web.config's include files more than once or something.
If I include those sections the normal way (not external files - just normal XML sections in the web.config) then everything works as expected and the custom 404 page shows.
If you removed the %20 and just do two slashes, everything works fine. It seems like it has to be this specific URL.
I've seen other posts about IIS configuration with Default Site or virtual paths pointing to the same file location. But I don't think that applies, as I have the Default Site stopped, and I don't see any problems on any other URLs - the site seems to be working fine.
Does anyone know what IIS is trying to do with a /%20/ URL? Or how to handle this more gracefully?
I like having these config sections split out so changes don't recycle the app pool, but if this is a problem with doing this (why are external files allowed then?) then I guess I'll bring all the settings into the web.config itself.
I have MVC application that uses integrated app pool.
Under this MVC application, i have created a virtual directory that points to our file server location. This file server has some pdfs and custom images.
When we try to access the resources via virtual directory, I get the following error:
Server Error in '/' Application.

When I change the app pool to classic, i can access these resources just fine. What am i missing here?
Thanks
App pool was running under "NetworkService" identity.
I have changed it to a user account that has admin permissions on the box.
The thing that i still need to figure out is, why these were working under classic app pool and network service as the identity?
I have REST service application which is hosted in an IIS 8 in a Windows 8 PC. When I request the service I am getting an error as follows ... HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found.
Here is the detailed error message.
HTTP Error 404.0 - Not Found
The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.
Most likely causes:
•The directory or file specified does not exist on the Web server.
•The URL contains a typographical error.
•A custom filter or module, such as URLScan, restricts access to the file.
Things you can try:
•Create the content on the Web server.
•Review the browser URL.
•Create a tracing rule to track failed requests for this HTTP status code and see which module is calling SetStatus. For more information about creating a tracing rule for failed requests, click here.
Detailed Error Information:

Requested URL http://IP.com/Wining/RService.svc/general
Physical Path C:\inetpub\wwwroot\Wining\RService.svc\general
Logon Method Anonymous

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
There are myriads of possible causes. In general, the target resource at given URL is not found, so it may be simply missing, misconfigured, not started, etc. First - check the server logs, they usually contain more detailed information about the issue.
Also, please doublecheck that the service really is up and running. Connect to the www server and check it via localhost not ip.com.
I'm not an expert, but judging from the snippet you provided, it seems to be WCF service, the Handler: StaticFile seems very odd. It seems like the IIS misinterpretes your request as a StaticFile (a resource read from the disks and just passed-through without any further processing) which for me seems perfectly wrong.
You may have not installed the service properly, or have url mappings and/or handlers messed up, or you may even have NET/ASP framework not properly installed.. What have you installed first? .Net or IIS?
check similar questios, there are many.. for example:
WCF on IIS8; *.svc handler mapping doesn't work
HTTP 404 when accessing .svc file in IIS
I had to enable HTTP Activation in .NET Framework 4.5 Advanced Services > WCF Services (running on WIndows 2012) and after an IISReset it worked fine.
I have developed a WCF service and, while in Visual Studio 2010, I can import the WSDL without a problem. After I've deployed it to AppFabric, I get the WSDL, but several schema files referenced internally in the WSDL cannot be found, for some reason. I don't know if it's a configuration issue, or what. The error I get when I try to process the WSDL in Visual Studio 2010 follows below:
Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved:
'http://myserver.mydomain.com:9871/app_deploy/MyAppService.svc?wsdl'.
The WSDL document contains links that could not be resolved.
There was an error downloading 'http://myserver.mydomain.com:9871/app_deploy/MyAppService.svc?xsd=xsd0'.
The request failed with HTTP status 502: Proxy Error ( The
specified network name is no longer available. ).
Metadata contains a reference that cannot be resolved:
'http://myserver.mydomain.com:9871/app_deploy/MyAppService.svc'.
There was no endpoint listening at http://myserver.mydomain.com:9871/app_deploy/MyAppService.svc
that could accept the message. This is
often caused by an incorrect address
or SOAP action. See InnerException, if
present, for more details.
The remote server returned an error: (404) Not Found.
If the service is defined in the current solution, try building the
solution and adding the service reference again.
The error is a proxy error because it goes through a proxy, but the error is because the page isn't there. I've tried accessing http://localhost:9871/app_deploy/MyAppService.svc?xsd=xsd0 at the server, but I get 404.
Why wouldn't these xsd files being found? Is it a deployment issue?
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Man, I finally found the problem here. I needed write permission on C:\Windows\Temp for Application Pool user!
When I try to test the AutoLotWCFService using "wcftestclient", I get the following error. What am I doing wrong? Any insight will help. This is a simple Web Service that has wshttpbinding with interface contract and the implementation in the service. Here is the long error message: The Web.Config file has 2 endpoints - one for Web Service itself and other for metaDataExchange. Its all pretty much default stuff. I can include the code if needed - it seems I cannot attach files here.

I recently had this problem whilst trying to host WCF on my Windows Vista Laptop under IIS7.
I first recieved the following error : "HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found" and one of the resolutions suggested was to "Ensure that the expected handler for the current page is mapped."
So I added a handler for the .svc file manually and defined it as a DiscoveryRequestHandler, thinking that this might help. This caused the problem you described above.
The actual resolution was to delete the handler I had added, and to run the following commands:
CD c:\windows\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v3.0\Windows Communication Foundation\
ServiceModelReg -i
This resolved my issue and the service is working fine. I hope this might help shed some light on your problem. I can't be certain but this is probably because of the order in which I've installed the various packages on my dev laptop.
If installing compenonts doesnt work try a repair, this uninstalls and then installs.
"%WINDIR%\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v3.0\Windows Communication Foundation\ServiceModelReg.exe" -r
you need to make sure that the service behaviour configuration enables has a metadata tag with httpGetEnabled="true"
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="serviceBehavior">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true">
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
In addition, make sure your service references that behavior.
<service name="blah" behaviorConfiguration="serviceBehavior">
Thanks; believe it or not the problem of at least loading the service through wcftestclient was solved when I re-registered the ASPNET in IIS with aspnet-regiis.
The next problem is to be able to invoke the methods exposed by the service through wcftestclient. What are the security issues that I have to deal with? I had to enable Anonymous login with windows auth. and still the invoke generated exceptions that pointed to something related to access violation. On searching some things point to installing certificates to be able to invoke.. Please enlighten if possible.
Try checking if service(name) in the Service Markup (right click on servicename.svc) matches the service(name) in your web.config file.
Cheers!
