List SVC page issue

Question

SharePoint 2010 Site Collection
User wants to take advantage of connections using the _vti_bin/listdata.svc
On that site, when you hit this page, you get a response that says: This page can’t be displayed
On other sites on the same web application, the listdata.svc page works fine.
Is there some feature which prevents this page from displaying?
Issue does not seem authentication related because I tested both with my admin account with the same results

Please help.

Answer 1

Mostly these kind of errors can cause if the lists have lookup columns / person fields or any customization to the lists. This can also happen if the columns have invalid characters will also cause problems to the list service, more information you can find from below articles.

I suggest you to use the Network tab in developer tool or other packet capture tool(like fidder) to capture the request,then you could get the detailed error message.
