Sitefinity backend issue after hosting the Sitefinity project , IIS Detailed Error - 404.0 - Not Found

Problem 6:

We have hosted our sitefinity website  on IIS 8.5, its frontend site working fine but when we login to its backend and click on  pages it was giving the error(IIS 8.5 Detailed Error - 404.0 - Not Found ).

 

 Solution 6:

 We need to add the handler mapping for sitefinity services:
-open IIS go to Handler Mappings of your site.

-Add new Handler set following values as shown.

Request Path:
*.svc

Type:
System.ServiceModel.Activation.ServiceHttpHandlerFactory, System.ServiceModel.Activation, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35


After setting those values go to  Request Restrictions.
-remove the check from "invoke handler only if request is mapped to:"
- On Verbs tab, select All verbs.
- On Access tab, select Script.

 

that's it issue resolved.
