Silverlight deployment to a virtual directory

CrikeyMoses posted on Thursday, August 18, 2011

I've successfully deployed my silverlight app as a separate website and everything runs fine. But when i try to deploy it as a virtual directory underneath the Default website i'm having trouble with the WcfSlPortal.svc

I can hit the web service but the svcutil.exe link comes up with the 'computer name' (svcutil.exe http://my_web_svr/BulkMailer/WcfSlPortal.svc?wsdl)

I seem to have narrowed the issue down to the site being run over SSL, when i unchecked the Always HTTPS rule the web service works just fine. Will keep looking into this and report any progress.

Have you configured WCF (Web.config/ServiceReferences.ClientConfig) to use https?

Definitely didn't, I'm quite new to this all but thanks for the heads up mate.
