Troubleshoot Dynamics AX 2012 AIF Error The deployment web site was not found for the port

I was working on a custom service which I needed to activate on HTTP adapter, however was constantly hitting on this error while activating the service

Error - The deployment web site was not found for port


Fix -

The solution was to remove the end slash (\) from the service uri

System Administration > Setup > AIF > Website

Before: http://localhost:85/MicrosoftDynamicsAXAif60\

After: http://localhost:85/MicrosoftDynamicsAXAif60



I followed this blog which helped me to fix the issue
