asmx wsdl loading forever

Question

I have a web service application which has suddenly stopped working. I have enabled directory browsing in IIS, and can view the application directory. I can view the xml files within the application directory, but I cannot view the .config files, nor can I view the wsdls of any of the web services. When I try to browse to http://server/app/service.asmx?wsdl, the browser stays in the "loading" state forever.

Any ideas what might have gone wrong here?

Answer 1

Have you looked in the server's event log? Many ASP.NET errors will end up there, this sounds like it might qualify
