    <p>I am using IIS7.5, .net 4.0. I am working locally.</p> <p>I have installed Application Request Routing, Web Farm Framework, WebDeploy and UrlRewrite to set up a reverse proxy. This works fine for the most part.</p> <p>I have two websites:</p> <ul> <li>DefaultWebSite (port 80, app pool: Default App Pool (.net 4)) and </li> <li>Target (port 8085, app pool: TargetAppPool(my identity, .net 4)).</li> </ul> <p>I have a rewrite rule on DefaultWebSite (created as directed on <a href="http://www.iis.net/learn/extensions/url-rewrite-module/reverse-proxy-rule-template" rel="nofollow">IIS.net</a>) which redirects all localhost (port 80) traffic to <strong>localhost:8085</strong> just as detailed in the above link. This works fine for most document types (.aspx, .xap, .htm, .ico) but a request to MyService.svc fails. It returns a 404. </p> <p>To be clear:</p> <p>When I paste <strong>localhost:8085/MyService.svc</strong> into a browser I get the requested WCF page.</p> <p>When I paste <strong>localhost/MyService.svc</strong> into a browser I get a 404. </p> <p>When I paste <strong>localhost:8085/MyIcon.ico</strong> into a browser I get the requested resource. </p> <p>When I paste <strong>localhost/MyIcon.ico</strong> into a browser I get the requested resource. </p> <p>.svc is the only document type that I've found that returns a 404.</p> <p>I've got two pieces of info that might be of relevance.</p> <ol> <li><p>App Pools. When I change the DefaultWebSite's app pool to TargetAppPool then the 404 becomes a 500 ("Failed to map the path '/'"). All other requests are successful when this change is made. Not sure if this relevant or not.</p></li> <li><p>FREB (Failed Request Tracing) Log. I found a page (<a href="http://blogs.msdn.com/b/asiatech/archive/2011/08/25/return-404-4-not-found-when-url-rewrite.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://blogs.msdn.com/b/asiatech/archive/2011/08/25/return-404-4-not-found-when-url-rewrite.aspx</a>) which details the steps in a FREB log when a URL rewrite is more successful than mine (it fails later on). I've not been able to find out how to generate a FREB log for a successful rewrite (if that's possible) so I can only compare my FREB log to the one on that blog. I can see that their step 21 (URL_CHANGED) in my FREB log but not 22 (URL_REWRITE_END). I've not got enough experience with these logs to notice anything more significant than that (suggestions welcomed).</p></li> </ol> <p>My main question is: does anyone know why just URLs requesting .svc resources are not being rewritten? </p> <p>A secondary question is: does anyone know how to generate a FREB log for successful request (if it's even possible)? </p> <p>Thanks</p> <p><strong>Update:</strong></p> <p>I have changed the architecture to try to get more info.</p> <p>I have moved the Target website to a different PC on which I have installed Microsoft Network Monitor to capture the incoming traffic.</p> <p>Before I changed the url-rewrite rule to point at this new website I got the correct response when I made a request to MyService.svc on the new PC. Fine.</p> <p>As soon as I changed the rewrite rule to route the request to the new Target website then it responds as before (404). I have made both POST and GET requests. There is no sign of any of the requests in the Network Monitor log (all other calls -200, 404 or otherwise- appear in this log). </p> <p>This leads me to think that there is something incompatible with url-rewrites and *.svc requests. I tried making a request to MyService.asmx (having created this file) and it correctly returned a page, so it is limited to *.svc. Any ideas?</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.

SQuiL has stopped working due to an internal error.

If you are curious you may find further information in the browser console, which is accessible through the devtools (F12).
