WCF on IIS 6

[Satish_S]

Hi i am running wcf service in IIS, when i make a POST request from the rest client with .net development environment server i am getting the break points hit and the service is responding but when i am accessing through IIS URL(http://localhost//Service/service.msc) it fails and i am not getting break points hit and getting message

HTTP/1.1 404 Object Not Found

. i am confused that why the service is not responding when i accessed the iis deployed service. it will be very helpful if i am getting out from this issue. thanks

Are you running the client on the same machine as the server? If not the localhost in the url is wrong. Also the url contains two forward-slashes where they should not be: http://localhost**//**Service/service.msc I assume this is a typo, but thought it worth mentioning just in case.

Yes i am accessing client on the same machine. sorry typo error when composing a message but my REST client is having the following URL http://localhost/Service/service.msc Even i tried from different machine with the following http://172.29.xxx.xx/Service/service.msc In both scenarios i am getting the following page saying my service living but not able to post a request.

You have created a service.

To test this service, you will need to create a client and use it to call the service. You can do this using the svcutil.exe tool from the command line with the following syntax:

svcutil.exe http://development.co.in/DWebServices/CDataService.svc?wsdl

This will generate a configuration file and a code file that contains the client class. Add the two files to your client application and use the generated client class to call the Service. For example:

C#

class Test
{
static void Main()
{
CDataServiceClient client = new CDataServiceClient();

    // Use the 'client' variable to call operations on the service.

    // Always close the client.
    client.Close();
}

}

Visual Basic

Class Test
Shared Sub Main()
Dim client As CDataServiceClient = New CDataServiceClient()
' Use the 'client' variable to call operations on the service.

    ' Always close the client.
    client.Close()
End Sub

End Class

when i try to access its method by the following http://172.29.xxx.xx/Service/service.msc/methodcall [method :POST] { "json format inputs" }
