XML Parsing Error: not well-formed

Hi,

I just installed Vault for the first time in demo mode, but I can't access the vault server. I can access the IIS server (\\localhost\VaultService), but trying to access http://localhost/VaultService/VaultService.asmx returns the following error :-

XML Parsing Error: not well-formed
Location: http://localhost/VaultService/VaultService.asmx
Line Number 1, Column 2:<%@ WebService Language="c#" Codebehind="VaultService.asmx.cs" Class="VaultService.VaultService" %>

accessing the server from the admin client simply returns :-
Unable to connect to http://localhost/VaultService. No server was found at the specified URL. Please verify your network settings using the Options dialog under the Tools menu in the Vault GUI Client. Web Exception: The request failed with HTTP status 503: Service Unavailable.

This is most likely a problem with IIS mappings for ASPNET.

See this forum post for a solution:

Thanks, but I tried this before (and again now) and it makes no difference, I'm still getting the same error message.

This still looks very much like ASP.NET is simply not configured properly on your machine. If ASP.NET doesn't work, then Vault won't work.

Are any other ASP.NET apps working properly on that machine?

I don't have any other ASP.NET applications installed on this machine as far as I am aware.

I tried uninstalling Vault, IIS and .NET1.1, then reinstalling IIS, .NET1.1 and Vault (in that order) and still have the same error message.

Ok, this is a bit wierd, after reinstalling everything, I still get the same error when accessing the .asmx file in my browser, but I can now access the vaultservice using the Admin tool and the client. This I find a bit strange, but I'm happy now that I can actually start using and testing the product.

Thanks for the help.
