Problem Hosting WCF application on IIS 5.1

Hello my friends,

I am new to WCF and created a very simple application that runs perfectly under the Visual Studio 2008 environment but has problems running under an IIS 5.1 host.

Here are the details of my application. It is very simple :

1) I created a WCF application that simply allows users to enter their name and a comment.
The name of the application is : EvalServiceLibrary
Contents of the C# code are as follows :

using System.Text;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ServiceModel;
namespace EvalServiceLibrary
{
[DataContract]
public class Eval
{
[DataMember]
public string Id;
[DataMember]
public string Submitter;
[DataMember]
public string Comments;
[DataMember]
public DateTime TimeSubmitted;
}
}
namespace EvalServiceLibrary
{
[ServiceContract]
public interface IEvalService
{
[OperationContract]
void SubmitEval(Eval eVal);
[OperationContract]
List GetEvals();
[OperationContract]
void RemoveEval(string id);
}
}
namespace EvalServiceLibrary
{
[ServiceBehavior(InstanceContextMode=InstanceContextMode.Single)]
public class EvalService : IEvalService
{
List evals = new List();
#region IEvalService Members
public void SubmitEval(Eval eval)
{
eval.Id = Guid.NewGuid().ToString();
evals.Add(eval);
}
public List GetEvals()
{
return evals;
}
public void RemoveEval(string id)
{
evals.Remove(evals.Find(e => e.Id.Equals(id)));
}
#endregion
}
}

2) I then created two Endpoints. One with wsHttpBinding, the other a metadata endpoint with mexHttpBinding.

APP.CONFIG file contents are as follows :

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------







name="EvalServiceLibrary.EvalService">
























When I build the above application, it creates the following dll :

EvalServiceLibrary.dll

and

EvalServiceLibrary.pdb

3) I then added a web site to my solution that refers to the above library I created.

I called my .svc file : Eval.svc

Here is its content:

<%@ ServiceHost Language="C#" Debug="true" Service="EvalServiceLibrary.EvalService" %>


I also have a Web.config file with the following contents :






























4) I run it under DEBUG ( press F5 ) in Visual Studio 2008 and it works great. I see the WCF Test Client window come up and I see the 3 methods I created exposed : SubmitEval(), GetEvals() and RemoveEval().

5) I then tried hosting the above application under IIS 5.1

Here is how I configured it under IIS 5.1:

I created the Application Name : EvalServiceSite

The Directory it points to (the Local Path ) is : C:\Demos\EvalServiceSite

I selected all the following to be true : READ, LOG VISITS and DIRECTORY BROWSING

ASP.NET version : 2.050727

Virtual Path : /EvalServiceSite

File Location : C:\Demos\EvalServiceSite\web.config

Directory Security has the following selection checked:

Anonymous access, Allow IIS to control password, Integrated Windows Authentication

When I tried hosting it on IIS 5.1, I am getting the following error when I tried entering the following URL on the browser :

http://localhost/EvalServiceSite/Eval.svc
