Citrix Director 7.12 Stuck Loading after Upgrade

Issue:

After upgrading Citrix XenDesktop 7.11 to 7.12 with Director on the same machine , Citrix Director stopped working and got stuck loading directly after login. After a bit of troubleshooting, seems that the issue lies here “System.ServiceModel.ServiceActivationException: The service ‘/Director/service.svc’ cannot be activated due to an exception during compilation.”

Error

Solution:

We can solve this in one of two ways:

1- Open IIS and remove 8080 binding from “Default Web Site” and verify it is removed from “ Director ” .

iis1

 

iis2

 

iis3

 

iis4

 

iis5

2- Add multipleSiteBindingsEnabled=”true” /> to serviceHostingEnvironment in Director IIS directory web.config .

 

director1

 

director2

 

iis5
