EndpointNotFoundException in WCF

Question

I have been staring at the web.config way to long, could you guys have a look?

Running service.Endpoint.Address.ToString() gives me the expected result: http://localhost:2867/Service1.svc and http://localhost:2867/Service1.svc?wsdl gives me all the methods I need.

If you need more info/code i'd be happy to add it.

Thanks for having a look!

The Error

There was no endpoint listening at http://localhost:2867/Service1.svc that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action.

Answer 1

Two things to check:

1. Your client is using basicHttpBinding, and your service is using webHttpBinding, so you have a binding mismatch.

2. Your client is referencing ServiceReferenceCDP.IService1 for the contract and your service is using CollectiveDistributedPolling.IService1 - these are not the same, even if the code is identical.

Remember the ABCs of WCF - Address, Binding and Contract. The client must match the service to connect.

Answer 2

You server side configuration address property contains only an empty string, specify an address in it: http://localhost:2867/Service1.svc

(Please do not use development server for this.)
