iis7 .net webservice 404 error

Question

I have a webservice /test/Service1.asmx in the same folder as a page /test/test.aspx.

The page works fine but I get the message bellow for the services in the same location. I know the file is there and the url is correct, and I have added the script module and managed handler as well. If anyone knows what I'm missing here I'd appreciate it

Server Error in '/' Application.

Answer 1

did you install ASP.NET Role Service for IIS 7?

Answer 2

I encountered this issue while doing some test migrations of our intranet applications from IIS6 to 7. I was able to solve the problem by modifying the following section of the Web.config file:

<system.webServer>
   <validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false"/>
   <modules>
      <remove name="ScriptModule"/>
   </modules>
   <handlers>
      <remove name="WebServiceHandlerFactory-Integrated"/>
      <remove name="ScriptHandlerFactory"/>
      <remove name="ScriptHandlerFactoryAppServices"/>
      <remove name="ScriptResource"/>
   </handlers>
</system.webServer>

Change validateIntegratedModeConfiguration to true, and remove the WebServiceHandlerFactory-Integrated from the remove list.

Oddly enough, from memmory ASP.NET adds those lines specifically IIS7. Oh well.
