My suggestions:

1) You should edit the permissions on your WCF folder so that the IIS user can read from the folder.

2) Check the folder permissions as above and check if the asp.net is enabled in your system by running:

"%WINDIR%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\aspnet_regiis.exe" –i

3) Is your mysql dll locate in the bin folder? I would check if your permissions.

Thanks for replying Khalid...

So when you say "edit the permissions" on the folder do you mean doing it through windows explorer, properties, security tab and adding the ISS user (closest thing I could find was ISS_IUSRS - that right?).

If you have to do something in IIS Manager could you be more specific. I've just started to use IIS and have no idea what i'm doing...

In relation to your mysql answer. The mysql.dll file is located in the WCF service library directory, referenced in the project and is copied to the bin folder once compiled. When I compile the WCF service website it imports the mysql.dll and library.dll files.

Answer 4

1)Give permissions to the folder for the IIS_IUSRS group. Also see if the application pool for the application in IIS manager->"Application Pools" has the Identity set as "LocalSystem". For me it was "NetworkService", setting it to "LocalSystem" solved it.
