RE: Deploying WCF

Hi Eric,

Glad to work with you again.

Usually, "http://www.schneidersoft.com/CouponService/"; is not a valid
address for WCF service. If you use this address in your client application
or in Visual Studio add service dialog, you will receive "(405) Method Not
Allowed" error message from IIS. It is because the URL is a directory URL
instead of a service (svc) path and IIS does not allow "POST" method for
directory URL.

If this is the case of the problem, the fix is just to change the URL to a
svc path. For example, in this case, you should specify the URL to
http://www.schneidersoft.com/CouponService/ShopWize.CouponService.svc.

Since the link you provided is a real internet URL, I did some tests on
your website. I found that
"http://www.schneidersoft.com/CouponService/ShopWize.CouponService.svc";
reports Runtime Error when I visited it. However, the error message is
prevented by the web.config security settings. So I was unable to figure
out what caused the error.

Here is an action plan for you to troubleshoot this issue:

1. Open
http://www.schneidersoft.com/CouponService/ShopWize.CouponService.svc in
browser in your local web server. Local visit will skip
the security checking.
Or, you can turn off customErrors in web.config, if there is no any
security concern.
To turn off customErrors, please use the following setting:
---------------------------
<!-- Web.Config Configuration File -->

<configuration>
<system.web>
<customErrors mode="Off"/>
</system.web>
</configuration>
---------------------------

2. Check the error message in browser to identify what the problem is and
post it here or to my email hongyes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, remove 'online.'.

3. If the runtime error above is fixed and the service is shown correctly
in browser, add service reference in Visual Studio and input svc URL.

There is one thing that I cannot explain to you now because I need more
information. That is why the client application can be run locally but
failed to run remotely.

I need the following information:
The content of app.config file of your client application. Please post it
here or send email to me.

BTW: The best managed newsgroup to post WCF questions is:
microsoft.public.dotnet.framework.webservices.

Please let me know if anything unclear in my reply. I will follow up this
issue after receiving your updates.

Have a nice day.

Regards,
Hongye Sun (hongyes@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, remove 'online.')
