Deploying WCF Rest webservice to IIS 6.0 gives HTTP Error 404 - File or directory not found


I have a WCF rest webservice that runs fine on my local VS2010 environment, but when deployed to IIS 6.0 on windows server 2003, I get the HTTP Error 404 - File or directory not found. I've searched other threads with similar questions and tried all the suggestions to no avail. Here's my service contract:

[ServiceContract]
 public interface IRestServiceImpl
{
    [OperationContract]
    [WebInvoke(Method = "PUT", ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Xml,
        BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare,
        UriTemplate = "Execute")]
    ExecuteResponse Execute(ExecuteRequest request);

    [OperationContract]
    [WebInvoke(Method = "PUT", ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json,
        BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.Bare,
        UriTemplate = "ExecutePutJSON")]
    ExecuteResponse ExecutePutJSON(ExecuteRequest request);
}

The implementation code behind (RestServiceImpl.svc.cs) is as follows:

public class RestServiceImpl : IRestServiceImpl
{
    public ExecuteResponse Execute(ExecuteRequest request)
    {
       //processing code that returns ExecuteResponse
    }

    public ExecuteResponse Execute(ExecuteRequest request)
    {
       //processing code that returns ExecuteResponse
    }
}

The RestServiceImpl.svc is as follows:

<%@ ServiceHost Language="C#" Debug="true" Service="CICJIS.IWS.RestServiceImpl" 
CodeBehind="RestServiceImpl.svc.cs" %>

The Web.config:

<configuration>
  <system.diagnostics>
    <sources>
      <source name="System.ServiceModel"
      switchValue="Information, ActivityTracing">
        <listeners>

  </system.serviceModel>
 <system.webServer>

  </system.webServer>

</configuration>

I have tried the following:

1.) installed the ASP.net 4.0 using aspnet_regiis -i 2.) Ran C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0\Windows Communication Foundation>Service ModelReg.exe -i 3.)manually changed the .svc extension mapping in the properties of the website for .svc to point to c:\windows\microsoft.net\framework\v4.0.30319\aspnet_isapi.dll 4.)In directory security unchecked the integrated windows authentication. 5.)Changed the ASP.net version from 2.0 to 4.0 on the website properties.

I have another WCF SOAP webservice deployed to the same server and IIS and I can browse and connect to it fine. I don't understand why I am unable to browse this WCF rest service or connect to it.

Any help is appreciated!! Thanks in advance!

    1. installed the ASP.net 4.0 using aspnet_regiis -i
    2. Ran C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v3.0\Windows Communication Foundation>Service ModelReg.exe -i
