I have a web service application which has suddenly stopped working. I have enabled directory browsing in IIS, and can view the application directory. I can view the xml files within the application directory, but I cannot view the .config files, nor can I view the wsdls of any of the web services. When I try to browse to http://server/app/service.asmx?wsdl, the browser stays in the "loading" state forever.
Any ideas what might have gone wrong here?
Thanks Carter
Have you looked in the server's event log? Many ASP.NET errors will end up there, this sounds like it might qualify
Regarding the first question about loading, are you able to browse to the site on the server?
IIS protects Web.config files by default and will typically return a "This type of page is not served" error message. This is a good thing which will keep your connection strings and what not from being casually viewed. There is more information about allowing exceptions for this here.
