    Server Error in \'/WebServices\' Application.

I know this is probably the "obvious" answer, but it tripped me up for a bit. Make sure there's a dll for the project in the bin folder. When the service was published, the guy who published it deleted the dlls because he thought they were in the GAC. The one specifically for the project (QS.DialogManager.Communication.IISHost.RecipientService.dll, in this case) wasn't there.

Same error for a VERY different reason.
