Handler for Request not found:

asp.net, servicestack, servicestack-bsd, web-services

Solution

It looks like you're trying to host ServiceStack both at the / root path and at a mixture of `/servicestack` and `/api` custom paths. You need to pick one of them, not a combination of all 3. Here is the config if you want to host at the / root path:

<system.web>
  <httpHandlers>
    <add path="*" type="ServiceStack.WebHost.Endpoints.ServiceStackHttpHandlerFactory, ServiceStack" verb="*"/>
  </httpHandlers>
</system.web>

<!-- Required for IIS 7.0 -->
<system.webServer>
  <handlers>
    <add path="*" name="ServiceStack.Factory" type="ServiceStack.WebHost.Endpoints.ServiceStackHttpHandlerFactory, ServiceStack" verb="*" preCondition="integratedMode" resourceType="Unspecified" allowPathInfo="true" />
  </handlers>
</system.webServer>

The above should replace every other ServiceStack config mapping. Once you've done this you should be able to view the metadata page at:

`http://localhost:50097/metadata`

Note: If you're running ASP.NET on a port it is unlikely that you also have the Virtual Directory path `/ServiceStack.SearchService/`.

Problem

I am building a service stack for the first time: hello world. I have followed the step by step guide in here: but it is giving me an error: Handler for Request not found: what could be the missing part? thanks. here is my global.asax.cs ``` using System; using System.Collections.Generic; using System.Linq; using System.Web; using System.Web.Security; using System.Web.SessionState; using ServiceStack.ServiceHost; using ServiceStack.WebHost.Endpoints; namespace ServiceStack.SearchService { public class Global : System.Web.HttpApplication { public class Hello { public string Name { get; set; } } public class HelloResponse { public string Result { get; set; } } public class HelloService : IService<Hello> { public object Execute(Hello request) { return new HelloResponse { Result = "Hello, " + request.Name }; } } /// Web Service Singleton AppHost public class HelloAppHost : AppHostBase { //Tell Service Stack the name of your application and where to find your web services public HelloAppHost() : base("Hello Web Services", typeof(HelloService).Assembly) { } public override void Configure(Funq.Container container) { } } protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) { //Initialize your application var appHost = new HelloAppHost(); appHost.Init(); } void Application_End(object sender, EventArgs e) { // Code that runs on application shutdown } void Application_Error(object sender, EventArgs e) { // Code that runs when an unhandled error occurs } void Session_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) { // Code that runs when a new session is started } void Session_End(object sender, EventArgs e) { // Code that runs when a session ends. // Note: The Session_End event is raised only when the sessionstate mode // is set to InProc in the Web.config file. If session mode is set to StateServer // or SQLServer, the event is not raised. } } } ``` here is my web.config: ``` <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>  <configuration> <connectionStrings> <add name="ApplicationServices" connectionString="data source=.\SQLEXPRESS;Integrated Security=SSPI;AttachDBFilename=|DataDirectory|\aspnetdb.mdf;User Instance=true" providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" /> </connectionStrings> <system.web> <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0" /> <authentication mode="Forms"> <forms loginUrl="~/Account/Login.aspx" timeout="2880" /> </authentication> <membership> <providers> <clear /> <add name="AspNetSqlMembershipProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlMembershipProvider" connectionStringName="ApplicationServices" enablePasswordRetrieval="false" enablePasswordReset="true" requiresQuestionAndAnswer="false" requiresUniqueEmail="false" maxInvalidPasswordAttempts="5" minRequiredPasswordLength="6" minRequiredNonalphanumericCharacters="0" passwordAttemptWindow="10" applicationName="/" /> </providers> </membership> <profile> <providers> <clear /> <add name="AspNetSqlProfileProvider" type="System.Web.Profile.SqlProfileProvider" connectionStringName="ApplicationServices" applicationName="/" /> </providers> </profile> <roleManager enabled="false"> <providers> <clear /> <add name="AspNetSqlRoleProvider" type="System.Web.Security.SqlRoleProvider" connectionStringName="ApplicationServices" applicationName="/" /> <add name="AspNetWindowsTokenRoleProvider" type="System.Web.Security.WindowsTokenRoleProvider" applicationName="/" /> </providers> </roleManager> <httpHandlers> <add path="*" type="ServiceStack.WebHost.Endpoints.ServiceStackHttpHandlerFactory, ServiceStack" verb="*" /> <add path="api*" type="ServiceStack.WebHost.Endpoints.ServiceStackHttpHandlerFactory, ServiceStack" verb="*" /> </httpHandlers> </system.web> <system.webServer> <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true" /> <validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" /> <handlers> <add path="*" name="ServiceStack.Factory" type="ServiceStack.WebHost.Endpoints.ServiceStackHttpHandlerFactory, ServiceStack" verb="*" preCondition="integratedMode" resourceType="Unspecified" allowPathInfo="true" /> </handlers> </system.webServer> <location path="servicestack"> <system.web> <httpHandlers> <add path="*" type="ServiceStack.WebHost.Endpoints.ServiceStackHttpHandlerFactory, ServiceStack" verb="*" /> <add path="servicestack*" type="ServiceStack.WebHost.Endpoints.ServiceStackHttpHandlerFactory, ServiceStack" verb="*"/> </httpHandlers> </system.web>  <system.webServer> <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true" /> <validation validateIntegratedModeConfiguration="false" /> <handlers> <add path="*" name="ServiceStack.Factory" type="ServiceStack.WebHost.Endpoints.ServiceStackHttpHandlerFactory, ServiceStack" verb="*" preCondition="integratedMode" resourceType="Unspecified" allowPathInfo="true" /> </handlers> </system.webServer> </location> </configuration> ``` I browse it by typing in the browser. ``` http://localhost:50097/ServiceStack.SearchService/servicestack/metadata ```
