I have a site that was running fine up till this week - around MS patch release time.
The site is being hosted and worked fine on Tuesday.  On Thursday, it was down and gave Error 500. 
I hadn't updated the site in months.  I called tech support asking if they had patched or made server changes - no answer on that.
Finally, I was able to determine that the error was a result of a line in the web.config:
<add name="ServiceModel" type="System.ServiceModel.Activation.HttpModule, System.ServiceModel.Activation, Version=4.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=31bf3856ad364e35" preCondition="managedHandler" /> The above was causing the error and after commenting it out, the site was back up.
Does anyone know if there was a .net update that would cause this to error now?
Thanks.
