What could be causing an XML Parsing Error: no element found?

Question

I recently migrated an ASP site from my dev machine to a live server. All the pages except my FAQ page works just fine, but my FAQ brings up:

XML Parsing Er         


        

Answer 1

I ran into this issue when installing my services on a fresh virtual machine. (ie; no other WCF services had been run on this machine, yet.)

You need to install and add a mapping for WCF Services into IIS. The easiest way to do this is as follows:

1. Run a command prompt with elevated administrator privileges

2. In the command prompt, navigate to C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0\Windows Communication Foundation

3. Run the command ServiceModelReg.exe -i

4. Restart IIS by running the command iisreset
