Web Service Deployment

[rgb]

Hi,

I need help in deploying a web service. I already have a working web service on a server, I want to create a local copy on a machine. I have copied the necessary files required for the web service locally on the machine, the \bin folder, global.asax file, the asmx file and the web.config file. I added it to the IIS and also create it as an application on the property page. But as i try to access the web service using <http://localhost/appname/service.asmx>, all i can see is the actual content of asmx <%@ WebService Language="vb" CodeBehind="name.asmx.vb" Class="name.service" %>

I need advice, help on steps to do to make the IIS execute the asmx file rather than showing me the actual contents of the file.

Thank you in advance.

Dear Rgb,

is it on the same machine where you develop the web service??

if not the i guess you have one of the following problem

1) need to register the asp.net on IIS:
%DotNetFrameworkPath%\aspnet_regiis /i

2) you use a folder other than wwwroot under inetpub:
add to security tab page the account aspnet account

if not please explain more.

Regards.

Hi mdaRock,

I discovered that I was using a faulty machine (errors in some MS updates previously) and by simply re-setting up the IIS and NET framework, all the components worked properly.

Thanks for your advice.
