[EndpointNotFoundException: There was no endpoint listening at

Question

Error Message: [EndpointNotFoundException: There was no endpoint listening at "Link/MobileMotivation.asmx" that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details.]

This is a MVC4 applcation, it works fine on the local machine. However when I implement it to the server which is the same server as the web service, it shows the error message.

<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
  <basicHttpBinding>
    <binding name="MobileMotivationSoap" />
  </basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
  <endpoint address="http://stuiis.cms.gre.ac.uk/bb116/FinalYear2/FinalYear2/MobileMotivation.asmx"
    binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="MobileMotivationSoap"
    contract="MobileMotivationService.MobileMotivationSoap" name="MobileMotivationSoap" />
</client>

Answer 1

You might need to edit the anonymous authentication settings.

Go to:

1. Server Manager
2. IIS
3. Connections > Sites > YourSite
4. Click Authentication > Enable

At this point you can select application pool identity.
