I cannot get a .aspx file (WCF examples) to run on my machine. I am following the WCF example
here
When I run default.aspx a ASP.NET local host ballon appears in the taskbar but only a directory listing appears in IE ?
I have the following installed :
Visual Studio Professional 2012
SQL Server 2012
IIS 8.0
I'm not sure what is wrong.
When I load up the example itself into Visual Studio it tells me
The web project ... requires SQL Server Express, which is not installed on this computer. The recommended database engine for Visual Studio 2012 is SQL Server LocalDB Express.
To upgrade the project database to use SQL Server LocalDB Express, double-click the database file and follow the instructions.
You do not set up a Start Page. Just right click the aspx file, click the Set As Start Page and run it again.
Besides, you can just click the aspx file to show the webpage when the directory listing in IE.
I set up the default as a start page but it just dumped me into the directory again.
When I click on on default.aspx in the browser (firefox) I get the following error :
Server Error in '/WcfTestWebSite' Application.
The resource cannot be found.
Description:
HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.
Requested URL: /WcfTestWebSite/Global.aspx
Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:4.0.30319; ASP.NET Version:4.0.30319.18010
I look into the sample projects. I only contains Global.asax. Not Global.aspx. They are different.
If you were to view to the web page, you should browse to xxxx\ConsumeWCFTest\Default.aspx. Make sure you set mutliple
start up projects and Default page of ConsumeWCFTest as start up page.
I started a new thread over on
the IIS board and hopefully they can help.
There is global.asax and default.aspx in Visual Studio. Maybe I got them mixed up but
default.aspx has a master page in design view. Like you say only
global.asax turns up in the browsers directory listing which does not run anything.
Well there is no sign of default.aspx and I can't seem to navigate to anywhere that default.aspx may be.
I think there might be a mix up where the files are supposed to be, as there is another directory called \ConsumeWCFTest which contains default.aspx.
Basically I had to open ConsumeWCFTest as a web site. It brought the webform up for me in the browswer instead of a directory listing.
Its still not working 100% I get the follwoing error when I enter in the same values as on the web page example.
Message from webpage.
Exception has occured: There was no endpoint listening at http://localhost:162/WcfTestWebSite/PairArihmeticService.svc that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present for more details.

Most probably it was caused by the port number.
Do you able to figure out the correct port number to be used? Otherwise, please follow below link to change the port number of WCF services to 162.

I changed use dynamic port to false and changed port number to 162.
When running it http://localhost:162 appears in the URL in the browser but I get an error saying there is no endpoint listing at http://localhost:1062

162 port is for WCF, not the web application. You gonna make sure you apply the configuration to the correct project.
