Problem with configuring HTTPS on my WCF service

I am trying to add transport security layer to my WCF service. But after following all the instructions i still get error "Could not find a base address that matches scheme https for the endpoint with binding BasicHttpBinding. Registered base address schemes are [http]."
Already did all needed configurations in IIS Manager and add need code in web.config but i still have a feeling i am missing something
web.config:
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service name="MyNameSpace.MyService" behaviorConfiguration="secureBehavior">
<endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="secureHttpBinding" contract="MyNameSpace.IMyService" />
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpsBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
</service>
</services>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="secureHttpBinding">
<security mode="Transport">
<transport clientCredentialType="None" />
</security>
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="secureBehavior">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" httpsGetEnabled="true" />
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false" />
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
</system.serviceModel>

There is no problem with your present configuration, configure an https endpoint and it uses Transport security mode. One more thing we need to do is configuring an https binding address in IIS binding module. Like below.
It locates in the IIS site binding module.
Then we could use the above https service address to access it.
https://IP:4431/Service1.svc (service base address)
Feel free to let me know if the problem still exists.

Server Error in '/' Application error with a WCF REST service using https

I'm trying to host a WCF REST service on an https server. The IIS manager on the server is configured property for the https port and my Web.config is configured properly. But, I just get this message "Server Error in '/' Application error" when pinging the URL. The URL matches the correct virtual directory which has been configured as an IIS application. It just doesn't resolve. I have another WCF service on this server that's running fine, but it's using basicHttpBinding since it's a soap service.
Can someone look at my RESTful web.Config and see if I've over looked something since there must be something wrong? This service works fine when deployed on my local machine using http without all the https config settings, but when deployed on another https server it doesn't work. There has to be something I'm missing. Tnx.

There is no problem your service configuration file seems to me. It only supports Https protocol. There might some problems in the hosting environment.
we are supposed to provide a https binding in IIS binding module, then service address will be https://x.x.x.x:xxxxx/service1.svc
Besides, here is my simplified configuration which using the WCF4.5 new feature, Protocol Mapping. it supports both https and http.

My problem is that if I have my website using https:// it fails to make the http call because of CORS. The https website makes an ajax GET request to the localhost.
Now I am trying to change my windows service to https but everywhere I see some command line ssl bindings. Is there a different way I can change my wcf self hosted windows service to use https?
What do I need to do in order to get this http service migrated over to https.
Please provide example of what needs to be modified in my app.config.

I stumbled upon similar problem so what i did was used WCF Configuration tool to write a App.Config for me and inside endpoints I selected mexhttpsbinding and yaa the https binding worked..

Let's just add an https endpoint. The following configuration works properly over both http and https.
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service behaviorConfiguration="mybehavior" name="WcfService1.Service1">
<endpoint address="" binding="webHttpBinding" contract="WcfService1.IService1" behaviorConfiguration="webbev"></endpoint>
<endpoint address="" binding="webHttpBinding" contract="WcfService1.IService1" behaviorConfiguration="webbev" bindingConfiguration="myhttpsbinding"></endpoint>
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpsBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange"></endpoint>
<host>
<baseAddresses>
<add baseAddress="http://localhost:11010"/>
<add baseAddress="https://localhost:11011"/>
</baseAddresses>
</host>
</service>

Since https protocol is protected by the certificate, we are supposed to bind the certificate to the https port for https endpoint. (we could specify the certificate in IIS binding module instead of CMD if hosting the service in IIS)
netsh http add sslcert ipport=0.0.0.0:11011 certhash=0000000000003ed9cd0c315bbb6dc1c08da5e6 appid={00112233-4455-6677-8899-AABBCCDDEEFF}
Execute CMD with administrator privileges and ensure that the certificate is installed on the local machine certificate store (certlm.msc). Certhash parameter specifies the thumbprint of the certificate. The appid parameter is a GUID that can be used to identify the owning application(located in the project.csproj file)

Https only works on port 443. so you better have your virtual host created in your SSL script tag in your server configuration.
Or you can also proxy pass your request http:// port(8888) to https:// (port:443)

WCF strange Behavior

I have a strange WCF behavior. When the service is hosted on IIS I can navigate to the service url and see the service wsdl, but any hit on the service operations return a 404.0 not found exception.
so this works
http://localhost:8000/Simulators/BackendService/service.svc
and this doesn't work
http://localhost:8000/Simulators/BackendService/service.svc/ProcessRequest
The behavior happens on one machine only and I tried the same source code with the exact same web.config on 2 other machines and they work perfectly fine. Which makes me sure that the problem is the IIS configuration on my machine but I couldn't figure out what is the problem.
Would anybody know what could be causing that problem?
Thanks,

Unable to call through https request

I'm using the website which contain .svc file and hosted on https as rest api. My question is:
My website has SVCUTIL.exe is https://XXXXXXX but when I call it with https request it fails but working fine with http request.And I don’t want use SSL certificates
Thanks
This is my webconfig settings:
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="Mybehaviour">
<serviceMetadata httpsGetEnabled="true" />
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />

</endpoint>
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpsBinding"
contract="IMetadataExchange" />
</service>
</services>

I've added the following lines to make it work with https:
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<webHttpBinding>
<binding name="webBinding">
<security mode="Transport">
</security>
</binding>
</webHttpBinding>
