I'm trying to add some web service (.asmx) functionality to a DNN 5.6 website.

I've added this using some code behind (which I've placed in /App_Code) and a .asmx file which I'd like to place in a new roor folder - /Services/MyService.asmx

This functionality works fine locally under cassini.

However, when I deploy to IIS7, then I get a 404 for the .asmx file.

Here are some of the experiments I've done:

  • If I move the file to the /DesktopModules/MyService.asmx then everything works fine - I can see the .asmx file and I can call the service functions without any problems.

  • If I turn directory browsing on inside IIS7, then I can browse to /Services and see the .asmx file - but when I click through to that .asmx file then I get 404.

  • If I add a gif file to /Services then I can see this without any problems

Has anyone got any suggestions about what might be causing this? I'm wondering if it's the friendly name code within DNN somehow picking this .asmx file up?

yes, it is the code that picks up the urlrequest that is later used for rewriting -its set to exclude certain folders ("admin", "controls", "desktopmodules", "mobilemodules", "premiummodules", "providers") and to ignore .aspx/.ashx/.axd requests but for some reason for .asmx so it looks like thats a bug but a pretty old one as mobilemodles hasnt existed in 5+ years (please log it at support.dotnetnuke.com). Id suggest the easiest thing is to simply use desktopmodules.
