deploy web service on remote iis

[steve1rm]

Hello,

I am trying to deploy a web service to a remote computer. The remote computer is on the local network.

On my development computer I have a webservice that just displays hello world. On the solution I click copy web site.

I connect to the remote computer and send the web.config, and service.asmx over to the remote IIS.

I then go back to my developer machine and try and view the service.asmx over the internet. I get this following message.

Server Error in '/webserviceTest' Application.
Runtime Error
Description: An application error occurred on the server. The current custom error settings for this application prevent the details of the application error from being viewed remotely (for security reasons). It could, however, be viewed by browsers running on the local server machine.

I thought this would be a straight forward thing, but i have spent many hours trying to solve.

Does anyone have any ideas, thank very much,

Steve

Have you looked at the error on the local machine? or alternatively set the config so that you can view it remotely? It might give you a clue?

Hello Stevexff,

I can view the service.asmx not problem on the local machine. It is only when I want to view it through the internet that I have a problem.

I have set the custom error messages to off, and tried that. I have listed below what I have done.

Hope someone can help,

<customErrors mode="Off" defaultRedirect="GenericErrorPage.htm">
            <error statusCode="403" redirect="NoAccess.htm" />
            <error statusCode="404" redirect="FileNotFound.htm" />
        </customErrors>

I have also tried this

<customErrors mode="Remoteonly" defaultRedirect="GenericErrorPage.htm">
            <error statusCode="403" redirect="NoAccess.htm" />
            <error statusCode="404" redirect="FileNotFound.htm" />
        </customErrors>

None of these work. Could it be some other settings that will allow me to view this web service,

Thanks for any help,

Steve

Try commenting out what you have, and replacing it with

<customErrors mode="Off" />

Thanks for your reply,

I have been told that it might have something to do with ip addresses for out-going and in-coming.

By going to ipconfig/all is the out-going IP address, and is not the same as the in-coming. I am not sure about this, only something I have read. However, how would I find the in-coming IP address to use.

Is their any truth to the above statement?

Thanks for your patience,

Steve
