WCF Service not working in IIS after Web app migration












0















I migrated my web app hosting a WCF Service from Windows 10 to Windows Server 2012. I followed the steps below:




  • Copied the folder where the Web App's files are to the new machine.

  • Installed all ASP.NET and WCF features.

  • Created a new application targeting the folder containing the files of the application.


When I try to run the service I get HTTP 404 Error, The Resource cannot be found. When I just target the svc file I get




Metadata publishing for this service is currently disabled.




I don't get this message when hitting the same URL in the original machine. Instead I get the regular screen telling me that I have created a service.



When hitting the root folder on a browser, in the original machine I get a white screen but in the new machine I get




A default document is not configured for the requested URL, and directory browsing is not enabled on the server.




As far as I can say, all configuration parameters are the same in both machines.



I want to add a detail that might help. When I restart the site on the original machine, the first time I request the service, I wait a few seconds for the site to compile and run. On the new machine this doesn't seem to happen. It may be that the code-behind is not loaded at all.
