Error when connecting to SSAS 2008R2 DB via a Web Service

Question

Getting an http 405 (method not allowed) error and unable to resolve it. Followed the setup referenced in the SSAS 2008R2 Operations Guide at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc917711.aspx. SSAS works as expected otherwise.

I am not finding any IIS entries in the windows error logs, here is the IIS log entry:

2011-09-22 22:20:39 ::1 POST /olap/msmdpump.dll - 80 - ::1 ADOMD.NET 405 0 1 15

405 generically is an invalid method error.

Authenticated, Anonymous and Basic auth methods are enabled.

Looking for the steps to take to narrow down what the problem could be.

SSAS 2008R2
Windows 2008R2
IIS 7.5

Hi Jeff_Block,

Based on the error message, please make sure that you use the appropriate .dll mode. Please pay attention to this similar thread: http access 405 problem.

Answer 2

already checked that. It is the 64 bit dll , IIS is running in 64 bit mode. does anyone have a diagnostic checklist to follow to determine the root cause here ?
