.NET Forum / ASP.NET / Web Services / October 2003Running XML Web Service from IIS Virtual Directory without creating application
How do you run an XML Web Service from within an IIS Virtual Directory without creating an application. According to Microsoft you can do this, but I get the following error when I try to access my Web Service: Description: An error occurred during the processing of a configuration file required to service this request. Please review the specific error details below and modify your configuration file appropriately. Parser Error Message: It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS. Any ideas? thanks Ben Fidge I might add that the Microsoft source mentioned in my previous post is as follows: http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpguide/html/cp condeployingwebservices.asp It clearly states that the virtual directory needn't actually be an IIS Application. It doesn't, however, state how to implement Web Services this way. Thanks Ben Fidge > How do you run an XML Web Service from within an IIS Virtual Directory > without creating an application. [quoted text clipped - 17 lines] > > Ben Fidge That is a problem with any configuration section you placed inside the Web.config, that can be only defined in machine.config or in an application directory inside IIS. Look at the source error for more information. For example, the section "autentication" cannot be placed inside a Web.config file that isn´t placed in a IIS application directory. >-----Original Message----- >How do you run an XML Web Service from within an IIS Virtual Directory [quoted text clipped - 19 lines] >Ben Fidge >. Juan, Thanks for your help. Altough this resolved that particular problem, I still can't run my Web Service from a plain virtual directory. After removing the <authentication> and <sessionState> elements from web.config I'm noe presented with the follwoing error: Parser Error Description: An error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific parse error details and modify your source file appropriately. Parser Error Message: Could not create type 'BackupContent_WebService.BackupContent_Service'. Source Error: Line 1: <%@ WebService Language="c#" Codebehind="ContentBackup.asmx.cs" Class="BackupContent_WebService.BackupContent_Service" %> Can you shed any light on this? When I temporarily make the virtual directory into an IIS Application, everything runs as normal and the Web Service can be instantiated as expected. Thanks Ben >-----Original Message----- >That is a problem with any configuration section you [quoted text clipped - 37 lines] >> >. Seems to me the ASPX parser is trying to resolve the type BAckupContent_WebService.BackupContent_Service This sort of thing is normally provided in a DLL, which is in the bin dir of the app.  SignatureDino Chiesa Microsoft Developer Division d i n o c h @ o n l i n e . m i c r o s o f t . c o m Juan, Thanks for your help.

By default the DLL file must be in a folder called "bin" in the root of the IIS Application. Backtrack from the virtual directory to the folder which is the root of the app (which may be wwwroot I guess), create a "bin" folder there, copy the DLL to that folder and it should work.

Chris, Thanks for your help. I have got my web service running using what you suggested. However, as my client (UK National Health Service) is running their sites from a co-hosted server, I wanted to run my web service from within it's own virtual folder just to keep it seperate from the main application(s) (the web service is not acutally part of the application).
