Question : unable to browse .asmx page in IIS7

I have configured applications in IIS 7. It has installed both .net 1.1 and 2.0. .net 2.0 virtual directory asmx pages are browsing without any issue. But .net 1.1 virtual directory asmx pages are not browsing.

Error message is below.

HTTP Error 404.17 - Not Found
The requested content appears to be script and will not be serverd by the static file handler

Also I have attached the screen shot of the error message. Can anyone suggest me solution?

Answer : unable to browse .asmx page in IIS7

Hi,

HTTP Error 404.17 "The requested content appears to be script and will not be served by the static file handler."

The site sounds like it is not setup to handle .asmx extentions.

1. In IIS Manager click on your Website.

2. Under "Handler Mappings" find the association for the asmx extension.

3. If it is missing you can force inheritance from the parent site or server settings by clicking "Restore Inheritance".

Now, if you can see the mapping with the correct .net dll (verify the path to the right framework folder) the page should be correctly opened.

As well, what is your appPool configured as ? Classic or Integrated.

Cheers,
