Ria Services WCF Application Deployment Incorrect for IIS6 - EndpointNotFoundException Web-AuthenticationService.svc does not exist

Question

We are trying to deploy the Silverlight + WCF RIA Services application on the IIS 6 web server. When the silverlight application runs in a browser, I get an error message. Using Fiddler , I see a real error:

EndpointNotFoundException The Web-AuthenticationService.svc service does not exist.

Of course, if I try to go to the service in the browser, it will not be found:

I investigated this error as much as I could, having tried the following things:

• Ensure that RIA Services assemblies are included in the bin folder of the site.
• Then, verify that the RIA services are installed on the server.
• Ensuring the use of only 1 authentication scheme (both in the web configuration and in the settings of the IIS site).
• Triple verification that configuration sections are present as described here .

Can anyone give more advice?

Update

I manually added the svc file to the ClientBin folder, and the problem was "resolved". Now I turn to the timeout problem when the login request is called. Why should I add the svc file manually?

Answer 1

The only solution I could find was to manually create the svc file and include it in the clientbin folder.

Answer 2

You can find this blog post . I recently had to deal with the infernal deployment of WCF Ria 404: upgrading Visual Studio 2010 to SP1 helped solve my problems because it contains WCF Ria SP1.

Answer 3

After 7 long days, we managed to find a solution that I had never seen anywhere on the forums. It is associated with missing data sources in the properties folder of the silverlight project. In my case there were no data sources. (project> propertiesa> datasources folder was empty)

The solution was to go to Data> Show Data Sources, and then click a button to automatically create all data sources.

(This is on Visual Studio 2010)
