WCF and Silverlight on IIS setup

Thursday, March 20th, 2008

Both involve MIME type setup on IIS.

1. WCF:  If your WCF does not work on your production IIS server, most likely the .svc MIME type is not registered, I used the following command line to fix it:

c:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0\Windows Communication Foundation\ServiceModelReg -i

2. Silverlight, you need to register the .xap MIME type, for IIS 7, simply using the following command line:

C:\windows\system32\inetsrv\appcmd set config /section:staticContent /+[fileExtension='.xap',mimeType='application\x-silverlight-app']

For both cases, the "C:\Windows\" directory path depends on where your OS is installed.
