my web service works locally but, not when it is deployed - asp.net

Question

When I deploy my web service, I get the following error:
There is no build provider registered for the extension '.svc'. You can register one in the section in machine.config or web.config. Make sure is has a BuildProviderAppliesToAttribute attribute which includes the value 'Web' or 'All'.
I found one thread (http://forums.asp.net/t/1228638.aspx) that suggested a solution but, I can not get it to work. If I make the changes to my web config file as suggested in the thread, I then get a configuration error. One odd thing is that, if I check the machine.config file on my machine, located at C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\CONFIG\machine.config, I don't see any of the config settings described in the thread. As a matter of fact, there is no mention of "compilation" or "buildProviders" at all.
The on-line documents I have found regarding BuildProviderAppliesToAttribute have not been of any help.
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.
Here is my entire config file listing:

Answer 1

I can't tell what your OS or IIS version is, that said, have you tried using the ServiceModel Registration Tool on IIS with the i switch

Answer 2

I just got off the phone with the hosting provider (GoDaddy). They do not host web services on their shared hosting servers. So, that was the cause of the error.
I will have to use a different option.
