Hi
We have OData Rest ListData.svc service failing under some of the webs in the same site collection and in different site collections under the same web apps, anonymous access disabled.ADO.NET Data Services Update for .NET Framework 3.5 SP1 for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2› is installed.
Examples:
https://webapp.company.com/L1SubWeb/_vti_bin/ListData.svc succeeds
https://webapp.company.com/L1SubWeb/L2SubWeb/_vti_bin/ListData.svc fails
or
https://webapp.company.com/sites/RootWebOne/_vti_bin/ListData.svc succeeds
https://webapp.company.com/sites/RootWebTwo/_vti_bin/ListData.svc fails
I've reproduced this on two different farms, the service fails with
"
Request Error
The server encountered an error processing the request. See server logs for more details.

Any hints would be appreciated.
