I havea WCF service which I publish from Visual Studio 2008 to an IIS 6. According to the output window of VS, the publish succeeded, no error messages or warnings. When I look at IIS, the virtual directory was created, but there is no .svc listed in the directory. The directory just has my web.config and a bin. Any attempts to call my WCF service fail cause they don't exist.
How can I see an error message of what's going wrong?
By trial-and-error, I discovered changing my app.config before publishing will make the service show up. Namely my app.config file has these lines:
<binding ...>
<security mode="Transport">
<transport clientCreditionalType="None"/>
</security>
</binding>
If I switch "Transport" to "None", then my service shows up on IIS. But I do have a certificate installed on IIS on the server, and as far as I can tell, everything is configured correctly on the server.
There is no error message in the event log.
How can I get a find more error messages about why the service is failing to show up?
