WCF Not binding to urls - asp.net

Question

I have a small I have just written which uses the following uri template.
[UriTemplate = "xml/{user_id}/{content_id}/{time}")]
On my local dev machine
/blahblah.svc/xml/1/1/1
On my remote machine
/myapp/blahblah.svc/xml/1/1/1
Works, however when I try to deply this to a remote machine I get a 500 error, when I look at the 500 error the server appears to be trying to look for a web.config in blahblah.svc/xml/.
It does not appear to be binding to the url correctly after the blahblah.svc.
In my web.config I have :-
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service name="JASWebservices.JCPSRest" behaviorConfiguration="ServiceBehaviour">
<endpoint address ="" binding="webHttpBinding" contract="JASWebservices.IJCPSRest" behaviorConfiguration="web">
</endpoint>
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="ServiceBehaviour">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior name="web">
<webHttp/>
</behavior>
</endpointBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
</system.serviceModel>
So if I access this locally (on my dev machine) it works.
If I access this remotely on the prod server it 500s. The only difference I can see at present is the inclusion of the /myapp/ at the beginning since the prod server has multiple sites on it each to their own web app.

Answer 1

This was a strange one, so I've found a rather lacking problem in Microsoft WCF when using it for REST implementations using the UriTemplate + ServiceContract.
If you are using IIS and host this on a UNC path (ie a NFC or SMB or CIFS system) it does not work properly. You have to move the service to a local directory in order for it to run.
I tried this on two different boxes (one SMB and one NFS) using both Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 and the same issue appears on both.

Try to add this line
<endpoint name="mexHttpBinding" address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
after
<endpoint address ="" binding="webHttpBinding" contract="JASWebservices.IJCPSRest" behaviorConfiguration="web">
</endpoint>
