listdata.svc not responding

Question

Hi all,

I have a DEV Win2008 box with SharePoint 2010 installed, everything seems to be running properly that I could configure site and so on. But when I access http://localhost/_vti_bin/ListData.svc my browser just displays "Internet Explorer cannot display the webpage", same as connection not available. But if I access http://localhost/_vti_bin/ListData.svc/Calendar then browser shows the feed to my calendar list.

I searched around and saw many articles to discuss to use ListData.svc and how to reference in VS project, I also tried to reference http://localhost/_vti_bin/ListData.svc in my VS2010 (locally installed on my SharePoint server), I could not get anything back, I log on with Administrator account and can load central administration page no problem.

My question is that is http://localhost/_vti_bin/ListData.svc really accessable and could be used by my code directly without specifying list name as paramter?

Thanks

Hardy

Yes it is accessable and you can access it via code without specifying the list name. If you can access the Calendar list then you should access everything. I would suggest reinstalling the adonet dataservices intall on your dev machine. Take a look at this article for help: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee535480.aspx#Y830.

Hi Michael,

We have a similar problem. However this doesn't work for one of the web application while it works for other web apps on the same IIS server where all these web apps are hosted.

We have Windows 2008 Server R2 with IIS version 7.5
