The main problem I had was that it wasn't listed, so when I went into random button pressing mode, nothing jumped out to say....ASP.NET not allowed....it simply wasn't listed...so I moved on to other, random button presses before eventually returning and adding it manually myself.

[mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Mark Nicholls Sent: Wednesday, December 06, 2006 10:41 AM To: ADVANCED-DOTNET@DISCUSS.DEVELOP.COM Subject: [ADVANCED-DOTNET] answer to a ASP.NET/remoting/IIS problem I haven't got a problem any more, but am posting the answer to one, so that any poor souls in a similar predicament can at least get some help when they type it into google. problem was deploying remoting server under IIS in windows 2003... (though the same would apply to a web service).... constantly get "HTTP Error 404 - File or directory not found." problem is specifically that, ASP.NET is not allowed by "Web service extensions" (go to Internet Information Services under administration tools on start menu).....if your lucky there will be an entry that says ASP.NET 2.0...and it will be prohibited....if (like me) there is no entry there, then you have to manually add an entry and point it to "C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_isapi.dll".... (there may be another way of doing this, but I did it manually), and then 'allow' it. now I'm sure there are plenty of other reasons (like getting the url wrong) for "HTTP Error 404", but this specific one took me several hours of hair pulling to find. =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor(r) http://www.develop.com View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com =================================== This list is hosted by DevelopMentor(r) http://www.develop.com View archives and manage your subscription(s) at http://discuss.develop.com *************************************************************************** CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE The contents of this e-mail are confidential to the ordinary user of the e-mail address to which it was addressed, and may also be privileged.
