ServiceStack deployment in IIS (404 exception)

[panks]

I have looked a lot into ServiceStack question in Stackoverflow and really running out of options. Spent a lot of time and tried a lot of options but not being able to run my ServiceStack services in IIS. I have a virtual directory under default website named as api and the physical location pointing that to is bin directory of servicestack assemblies. Just for testing I have put an index.htm in the bin folder and when on server I navigate to : localhost/api , I get the contents of index.htm from bin folder. However as you see in below code , my client invocation of Sericestack service via JSONServiceClient results in 404 exception. I am not sure what am I missing. Thanks much in advance

PS: have posted on SO but didnt receive a response.

Here is my code:

Service Stack version: 3.9.69.0, IIS version 8.0

using System.Configuration;
        using ServiceStack.OrmLite;
        using ServiceStack.OrmLite.SqlServer;

        //  logging
        using ServiceStack.Logging;

    //  Service Interface project
    public class xxxService   : Service
    {
    public List<xxxResponse> Get(xxxQuery xxxQuery) 
    }



    [Route("/xxxFeature/{xxxSerialNo}/{xxxVersion}")]
    public class xxxQuery : IReturn<List<xxxResponse>>
    {
        public string xxxSerialNo { get; set; }
        public string xxxVersion { get; set; }
    public string xxxId { get; set; }
        public string xxxName { get; set; }
    }


    public class xxxResponse
    {
        public int ID { get; set; }
        public string Name { get; set; }
        public string Version { get; set; }
        public string Size { get; set; }
        public ResponseStatus ResponseStatus { get; set; }
    }

Only the base url should be used in the service clients, e.g:

xxxServiceClient = new JsonServiceClient("http://111.16.11.111/api");

Thanks for your response mythz. Actually I had tried with base url before and it ends up with same result i.e. 404 exception. It looks to me there is some configuration issue. Earlier I was trying to create a separate application and virtual dir. inside IIS , however to simplify things I now have just created a virtual directory named api (which is what ServiceStack has worked on from earlier versions; at least thats what I gathered from SO posts who had deployment issue). I can navigate to http://111.16.11.111/api remotely and can see index. htm contents but some how these requests get 404. I also dont get any metadata results through servicestack. 

[Wayne Douglas]

Because you have a vdir of /api, depending on how you've set up servicestack, you might even have ended up with a base URL of 

http://111.16.11.11/api/api

I can't read the code in your email as it's all jumbled for me but I'd suspect this could be a reason for your 404?

Thanks for your response Wayne. I tried but to no avail. The link on stackoverflow for my post is : http://stackoverflow.com/q/21056042/179400
Code should be much readable there.

Posted a response on stackoverflow.  Hope that helps! :)
