WCF issues and 404.3 errors on Windows Server 2008

Hey there,

More ramblings about WCF and how difficult it can be, just to get it up and running.

Today I did some development on my Win2k8 server, but everytime I tried to access my .SVC service I got a

"The page you are requesting cannot be served because of the extension configuration" a 404.3 error!!!!

I've been struggling with my servers the last couple of days, and at the end I have got them up and running.

But this issue was beyond me, I checked everything. The last thing i checked was if something wasn't registered correctly... aaand!!! my wcf wasn't!

Go to your %Windows%\Microsoft.Net\Framework\v3.0\Windows Communication Foundation\

and run "ServiceModelReg -vi" and check the status...

Next step....

run "ServiceModelReg -i"

now browse to your local wcf .svc file and check it out...

VOILA!!!!

Hope this helps out there :)

Happy coding,

Christian
