Web service doesn't run - .NET Framework

Ioannis Vranos

When i open the .asmx file with IE the IIS server doesn't run the web
service but instead i am prompted by the web browser to open the .asmx file
(that is it is getting downloaded). The same happens with the default Hello
World web service. I am using VS 2003 and Windows XP SP1 (with its IIS
server).
Any ideas?

Maybe the MIME type for asmx on your server is messed up.

To fix it, right click on IIS Admin MMC->Properties->HTTP headers -> File
Types.

It's definitely a computer configuration issue though.

Where is that? The closest thing i spotted in Administrative tools is
"Internet Information Services" but i did not find any Properties there when
i made right-clicks.

Ok i found it and the "File Types" in the "MIME Map" section is empty. What
is the appropriate configuration for .asmx?

After that I uninstalled and reinstalled IIS and .net framework 1.1 and this
time I was getting an HTTP 500 error even for the default page. Then I
uninstalled IIS. Now everything is fixed. :-)
