I've read many posts with the similar title of the ajax toolkit stopped working and am getting absolutely nowhere and could use some help or a direction or two to head in. As you will see, it is only the auto-complete extender that is not working.
I have a win 2008 R2 server that has been running an application I wrote using the toolkit since May. About a month ago I ran into some requests to increase the timeout for sessions. I think I made a mistake but what I did was install asp.net because the session state item did not appear on the feature view of the site in IIS7. So I extended the timeout using the session state the way the application was handled on the previous server. It seems that at thits point, all the ajax toolkit features I had enabled on the site stopped working. The main one is just the auto-complete extender but it is a critical feature to the application.
Trouble is that I'm not getting any error messages, not even javascript errors on the page. The feature just does not work.
I'm really at a loss on how to debug further. The auto-complete uses web services in the app that pull data from SQL Server. I ran some traces to see if those servers are being caleld and they are not. So without a javascript error and the browser not throwing any errors, what could possibly need attention?
My last resort was to port the application to another server, it works fine there but I cannot host it on that server or I would take the easy route and migrate the app to another server.
again, I would greatly apreciate any thoughts about what I could try to fix this. I've looked at the settings between the two servers and the services installed and they are virtually identical servers. I have rebooted several times and created new application pools. I even created a new copy of the same site on the server with a different host header to see if that might fix it and it did not.
Just prior to submitting this I thought I would try one last thing. I installed the sample site on the server, every sample control works except the auto-complete extender. I am really puzzled.
I am currently looking into how asmx files are handled as I realize now that the problem may not be with the toolkit but how web services are handled, again, any thoughts would be appreciated.
