hosting .net 4.0 REST WCF service in IIS 6

So i am on VS2010 running iis 7 with .net 4.0

I have a REST wcf 4.0/.net 4.0 services that runs locally very beautifully. On my local it is hosted on IIS at

http://localhost/SOMENAME/

[WebGet(UriTemplate = "Ping")]
    public string CheckAuthenticatedStatus()
    {
        string userName;
        if (!AuthenticateUser(out userName))
        {
            WebOperationContext.Current.OutgoingResponse.StatusCode = System.Net.HttpStatusCode.Unauthorized;
            return "Authenticaltion Failed";
        }
        return "Ping Back - " + userName;


    }

    [WebGet(UriTemplate = "AnonymousPing")]
    public string CheckStatus()
    {

        return "AnonymousPing Back";

    }

But when i try to deploy it in QA environment (win2k3 .net 4 iis 6) I get the following error.

Directory Listing Denied This Virtual Directory does not allow contents to be listed.

How do i go about this? And I don't need a SVC file on my local to run the web service. All the online help (courtesy of google) talk about the SVC file. Please point me in the right direction.

I finally found what I was looking for.

Step 1) VirtualDirectoryName->Properties->Virtual Directory Tab->Confirguration Button->

Insert new WildCard Mapping C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319\aspnet_isapi.dll Uncheck Verify that file exists

Step 2)

VirtualDirectoryName->Properties->Directory Security Tab->Authentication and access control->Edit Button->

Uncheck Integrated Windodws Authentication

Step3) Reset IIS

The following two links helped me out!
