You can find the reference of it inside web.config. There is a path to the indexingservice. You could also try to reinstall .net 4 with the regiis -i command for your specific versio. That might cause the problem as well.

IndexingService is part of EPiServer, so I don't see why we should use regiis to get it to work.

So far we ended up including it and the dll's manually into the project. That seems to work just fine.

the indexingservice is based on WCF that is a part of .net. If your IIS has been configured the wrong way you might need to re register the .net into IIS to make it work ok. Not sure why this is happening but i have stumbled across this issue a couple of times when I get a new server that should be ready for EPiServer with .net installed. This command is easy to run an will not make a mess just re register .net into iis.

Here is a thread on stackoverflow with more information: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/4932722/iis-7-not-recognizing-svc-file

But if WCF was't registered correctly, then copying IndexingService.svc directly into the project should't have worked.

But can you browse to the indexingservice.svc file? If not you need to enable that first to get the indexingservice to work. You should end up with a page that say:

I copied IndexingService.svc to ~/IndexingService.svc. This works just fine and gives endpoint not found, etc.

But ~/IndexingService/IndexingService.svc still gives a 404.

that sounds strange. maybe a stupid question but you have a folder and a file in that directory? Have you tried to installed a demo website on the machine?

Maybe this is something you can check:

<system.serviceModel><serviceHostingEnvironmentaspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true"/></system.serviceModel>

Try adding this to the system.servicemodel.  I always get Endpoint not found but the service is actually working just fine.  One thing we have to add to the sites especially local ones is "<serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />" to the system.servicemodel node.  But you should see it working once  you restart the app pool after adding this.

hey Tore, Is your issue resolved?
