Hello,
I created a webservice according to this walkthrough.
So far everthing works fine, but I have at least one problem with the deployment. After generating MyService.wsdl and MyService.disco I can access the Webservice via http://MyServer/_layouts/MyService.asmx. However, after copying the files to http://MyServer/_vti_bin/MyService.asmx I can not start the Invoke button in the browser anymore. If I try to create a webreference to the _vti_bin Webservice I get the following error message in VS 2008:

The document at the url http://localhost/_vti_bin/Service.asmx was not recognized as a known document type.
The error message from each known type may help you fix the problem:
- Report from 'DISCO Document' is 'Discovery document at the URL http://shc007/_layouts/error.aspx?ErrorText=File Not Foun

Can you help me solving the problem?
Thank you very much indeed!
Best Regards,

Sascha

Hi Sasha,

I'm pretty sure this works: I used the same walkthrough last week without any problem. Have you copied all 3 files to the ISAPI folder? Have you deployed the dll to the GAC?

If I was you, I would restart from step "Generating and Modifying Static Discovery and WSDL files". Pay attention to what you need to change and don't forget your files from MyService.disco to MyServicedisco.aspx and from MyService.wsdl to MyServicewsdl.aspx

Also check if you added your service to the disco.aspx page in the ISAPI folder.

Good luck!

Hi Karine,
Thank's for your reply.
You're right, I forgot to rename my files correctly. However, after rebuilding the whole Webservice I still have exactly the same problem :-(
Can it be a environmental configuration problem? I am thinking especially about that error mesage linge:
The document at the url http://localhost/_vti_bin/Service.asmx was not recognized as a known document type.
Best Regards,

Sascha

Hi,Sascha

    Where did you need to cunsume your webservice? In another web app?
    Please also double check the url, http://MyServer/_layouts/MyService.asmx, did you miss sites inside?
    Like http://MyServer/sites/yoursite/_layouts/MyService.asmx
    Also, look at this article,try use wsdl instead of asmx

    Hope this can help.
