Hi all.
I've created a web service that runs fine on my development PC running W2K.
The service is consumed by an ASPX page. (written using vb.net). I can deploy
the webservice without any issues to another W2K production server and
discover the service from the rebuilt ASPX application (now referencing the
production version). The issue I'm having is that when I deploy to a Windows
Server 2003 environment it doesnt seem to want to work for me.
This is what I've tried so far.
1. Packaged and deployed the service using the msi installer.
2. Edited the directory Security so that the service runs under a trusted
account with premissions to examine AD information (which is what the service
returns).
3. Run it under the defaultAppPool which has the identity of Network Services.
4. Created a new Application Pool which runs under the same identity as in
step 2.
5. Changed the virtual directory of the service to run under the new
application pool.
6. Changed the machine.config file to uncomment the GET and POST elements of
the webservice section.
7. Added the web service dll to the web serverice extensions allowed list.
Also added the .asmx file to this one as I'm not sure what difference it will
make.
So far nothing seems to have worked.
When I try to access the asmx file from a browser to examine the service
descriptor I get either of the following depending on what account im running
the service under. Using the Network Services account the application pool
stays enabled but I get the following response on the webpage "The specified
procedure could not be found. "
Using the trusted account I get the "Service Unavailabe " message and the
application pool becomes disabled.
I know this is a rather long msg but I figure the more detail I provide the
better. Any help you could provide would be most welcome.
Kalem.
