DotNetNuke Tip #15, Running a webservice inside of a DNN site.

Published Monday, August 21, 2006 1:58 PM

Perhaps you need to run a webservice inside an instance of DotNetNuke. If you've tried by just copying the webservice directory out there you've probably been frustrated with the result.

The fix is pretty darn simple. First thing, create a virtual directory in IIS for your web service folder.

Second, copy the BIN files from the DotNetNuke/bin folder to the webservice/bin folder.

In the webservice web.config file add the following to System.web

<httpModules>

<clear />

</httpModules>

That will clear out the httpModules that DNN loads, thus allowing your webservice to run on it's own.

<clear />

</httpModules>

I tried adding the lines to my web.config for a Screwturn wiki running inside of DNN, but it doesn't clear out the httpModules that DNN loads.

Using DNN 4.8.3 here is everything that I needed to add to my web.config:

     <httpModules>

       <remove name="ScriptModule"  />

       <remove name="Compression"  />

       <remove name="RequestFilter"  />

       <remove name="UrlRewrite"  />

       <remove name="Exception"  />

       <remove name="UsersOnline"  />

       <remove name="DNNMembership"  />

       <remove name="Personalization" />

     </httpModules>

     <httpHandlers>

       <remove verb="*" path="*.captcha.aspx"/>

       <remove verb="*" path="LinkClick.aspx"/>

       <remove verb="*" path="RSS.aspx"/>

       <remove verb="*" path="Logoff.aspx"/>

       <remove verb="*" path="*_AppService.axd"/>

       <remove verb="GET,HEAD" path="ScriptResource.axd"/>-->

     </httpHandlers>

     <pages>

       <namespaces>

         <remove namespace="DotNetNuke.Services.Localization"/>

         <remove namespace="DotNetNuke.Entities.Users"/>

         <remove namespace="DotNetNuke"/>

         <remove namespace="DotNetNuke.Common"/>

         <remove namespace="DotNetNuke.Data"/>

         <remove namespace="DotNetNuke.Framework"/>

         <remove namespace="DotNetNuke.Modules"/>

         <remove namespace="DotNetNuke.Security"/>

         <remove namespace="DotNetNuke.Services"/>

         <remove namespace="DotNetNuke.UI"/>

         <remove namespace="DotNetNuke.Entities.Portals"/>

         <remove namespace="DotNetNuke.Common.Utilities"/>

         <remove namespace="DotNetNuke.Services.Exceptions"/>

         <remove namespace="DotNetNuke.Entities.Tabs"/>

       </namespaces>

     </pages>

Please note that this was for a web service in a subdirectory.  I have installed Screwturn in a DNN subdirectory before.  I will try to find that web.config
