No endpoint listening at local "..."

I have been given a wcf service, and i built a local console applicattion to test it, but i keep getting this error shown in the title. My service runs in the browser as it should, showing the screen where it shows the example and the url where you can test it. Probably the error is in the Web.config or in the App.config. I have this two files:

I hope someone could give me a hint.

Please follow the below steps to resolve it
Please browse your service and click on the Url whether it is showing the metadata or not.
ex:http: //oj:23/Myservice?wsdl
If metadata is not enabled then do the below changes to your service config file.
i. create a mex endpoint
ii. Name the service behavior
Ex:
< serviceBehaviors>
< behavior name="SerBehavior">
< serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
< /behavior>
< /serviceBehaviors>
iii. Add this behavior to your service
Ex:
< service name="RAHPEDWCFService.RAHPEDService" behaviorConfiguration="SerBehavior"> < /service>
iv. Build the service and browse click on url to check the metaData
In your console application right click on the project and click on Add Service Reference
Place the Url in the Address box, click on Go check whether you are able to see the service, select your service and give namespace and click OK
create the object of your ServiceClient
Call your method
able to see the wsdl metadata in the browser.
If you have multiple endpoints in your client configuration file then you have pass the name of the endpoint to the constructor of ServiceCleint Class
Open Visual studio CommandPrompt and type WcfTestClient, right click on MyServiceProjects, add the service and check whether you are able to add or not and once added call your method under the endpoint appears

You should check that you are accessing the correct address. Rather than specify the entire address in the Web.config, more common practice is to provide just a relative address (even
an empty "" is fine), and then you access the service with:
http://servername:[port]/[virtual directory]/RAHPEDWCF.svc/[relative address in Web.config]
E.g. if address in Web.config showed
endpoint address="MySVC"
the full URL for clients (assuming default port 80 and in root of virtual server) might be
http://servername/RAHPEDWCF.svc/MySVC
If you are able to modify Web.config, this is what I would advise.

Object values defaulting

I converted my WCF Services today to use WSHttpBinding instead of BasicHttpBinding. It is still in the development stage and thus I am using self signed certificates. The example that I followed is located Here
After finally getting the code to work like the example illustrates (follow the examples of the configs in the code that one can download), I decided to proceed to use Channel Factories like I did before.
Now when I make a call to a WCF method, I can clearly see that the object that I am sending is populated with the expected values, but if I step into the WCF side, the values are their defaults. For example Guid's will be Empty Guid's and int's will be 0. Always.
Any idea what might be causing this? here is some of my code:
In the web.config:
<add key="ClientCertificate" value="WcfClient" />
<add key="ServerCertificate" value="WcfServer" />
<system.serviceModel>

behaviorConfiguration="CustomBehavior">
<identity>
<dns value="WcfServer" />
</identity>
</endpoint>
</client>
</system.serviceModel>
This is my channel factory
public static class ServiceObjects
{
public static IDocumentsService DocumentsSVC { get { return GetDocServiceClient(); } }
#region Private Members
private static WSHttpBinding _DMBinding = new WSHttpBinding("WSHttpBinding_IDocumentsService");
private static EndpointIdentity _DMIdentity = EndpointIdentity.CreateDnsIdentity(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("ServerCertificate"));
private static EndpointAddress _DMEndpoint = new EndpointAddress(new Uri(ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("DocumentsService")), _DMIdentity);
private static IDocumentsService GetDocServiceClient()
{
ChannelFactory<IDocumentsService> _docSvcFactory = new ChannelFactory<IDocumentsService>(_DMBinding, _DMEndpoint);
_docSvcFactory.Credentials.ServiceCertificate.Authentication.CertificateValidationMode = X509CertificateValidationMode.PeerOrChainTrust;
_docSvcFactory.Credentials.ClientCertificate.SetCertificate(StoreLocation.CurrentUser, StoreName.My, X509FindType.FindBySubjectName, ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("ClientCertificate"));
_docSvcFactory.Credentials.ServiceCertificate.SetDefaultCertificate(StoreLocation.CurrentUser, StoreName.My, X509FindType.FindBySubjectName, ConfigurationManager.AppSettings.Get("ServerCertificate"));
return _docSvcFactory.CreateChannel();
}
#endregion
}
When I call the service, on the Client side for example:
private static Guid _UserID = (HttpContext.Current.User as Titan.Web.Classes.Identity.CustomPrincipal).UserId;
ServiceObjects.DocumentsSVC.GetDocumentsByFolderID(new DocumentRequest { CurrentUserID = _UserID })
I can see _UserID is populated, but on the server side it's not.

Of course, since you've changed your configuration in the service you need to update the service reference so that the client too can update its configuration on its side. Unless you do that the client will keep calling the service with old configuration which it reads from its config file while the service runs with the new configuration settings.
It may be tiring, but it's the way it is.

It seems the issue lies in the way you make a call to the service using the following code:
ServiceObjects.DocumentsSVC.GetDocumentsByFolderID(new DocumentRequest { CurrentUserID = _UserID });
Here you are trying to invoke the service function without creating a proxy object of the service. And that is because you have written a static class in the service.
In a WCF service you can't use static classes. You need to create an instance of the class (service proxy object) and then invoke the service function.

I am not sure why this would make a difference, but it did.
I needed to update my service references.
A rookie mistake I guess, but why would that make a difference if the only thing I did was to change the bindings, endpoints etc?

WCF in Mono 2.10.9 performance issues

I have a simple WCF host and client which run fine in Windows but suffer extremely bad performance on Mono 2.10.8/9.
The WCF host is running in a self-hosted console app.
WCF client is also a simple console app.
They're using netTcpBinding without any security.
Here's the host app.config:

WCF Service class:
[ServiceBehavior(ConcurrencyMode = ConcurrencyMode.Multiple, InstanceContextMode = InstanceContextMode.Single,
AddressFilterMode = AddressFilterMode.Any)]
public class EmployeeService : IEmployeeService
{
private readonly List<Employee> m_Employees = new List<Employee>();
#region IEmployeeService Members
public void AddEmployee(Employee employee)
{
m_Employees.Add(employee);
}
// ... snipped ...
}
What the client does is calling an OperationContract 100 times and benchmark the calls.
var employee = new Employee { ... };
var client = new EmployeeServiceClient("EmployeeService", "net.tcp://localhost:8888/EmployeeService/tcp");
client.Open();
Console.Write("Adding 100 employees...");
var startTime = Environment.TickCount;
for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
{
client.AddEmployee(employee);
}
var timeTaken = Environment.TickCount - startTime;
Console.WriteLine(" Done.");
Benchmark result:
.NET 4.0 = 62 ms
Mono 2.11.1 = 1672 ms
Mono 2.10.9 in Debian 6 running in VM = 9632 ms (CPU usage hovering around 1%)
What can I do to speed up the performance of WCF on Mono esp in Debian?

WCF Authentication NT Challenge response

How can I get my console app to connect with an IIS hosted WCF service when basic and/or windows authentication is switched on and anonymous authentication turned off?
The site is internal and stringent security is not required. There is no domain controller. However, I need to turn off anonymous access.
I have searched for days and have tried many methods including using a self hosted certificate and overriding the certification validation, overriding the UserNameValidator and using client.ClientCredentials.Windows.ClientCredentials.UserName or client.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName. None of these have worked.
I am at a point where it would be nice if someone would be so kind as to look and run the code and help me get the sample running with authentication.
I have taken the liberty of uploading a sandbox solution containing, HostWebSite, ClientConsole and API projects.
I have hosted the zip file on my Windows Live SkyDrive: WCF_Authentication.zip
Some small setup steps.
I added to the hosts file 127.0.0.1 hostwebsite.local
I added a website to IIS
-- location: HostWebSite project root,
-- binding: hostwebsite.local
-- app pool: Classic 4.0 app pool.
Applied security Everyone read access to the HostWebSite project directory.
Verify can see service http://hostwebsite.local/services/EchoService.svc
Verify the console echoes back hello world.
Then turn off anonymous via IIS / Authentication and turn on either basic and/or windows authentication.
thank you

Are you really looking at message level security? From your description, it appears that you want a transport level security (from IIS). For that you have to get your client configuration file correct. For example,
<binding ...
...
<security mode="TransportCredentialOnly">
<transport clientCredentialType="windows" proxyCredentialType="None" realm="" />
...
This will ensure integrated windows authentication - will use current windows user running the client for authentication. For NTLM/BASIC authentication, you need to provide user name/password from code - for example,
<binding ...
...
<security mode="TransportCredentialOnly">
<transport clientCredentialType="Ntlm" proxyCredentialType="None" realm="" />
And in code,
EchoService client = new EchoService("WSHttpBinding_IEcho");
client.ClientCredentials.Windows.ClientCredential = new System.Net.NetworkCredential(userName, pwd);
EDIT:
For basic authentication to work with http protocol, you have to do configuration on server side as well as. For example,
<system.serviceModel>
<!-- SERVER -->
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="NewBinding">
<security mode="TransportCredentialOnly">
<transport clientCredentialType="Basic" />
</security>
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
...
<services>
<service name="API.Proxy.EchoProxy" ...
<endpoint binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="NewBinding" contract="API.Contract.IEcho" />
...
See this article for more info. BTW, you may want to consider HTTPS scheme because basic auth transmits password in plain text.

Please help

Is that config you display for the client part of the client app's app.config or web.config, if it's a web site / web application??
You need to include those parts in your application's config - it's not enough to have those config's in a separate file created by svcutil.exe - it needs to be part of your application's configuration.

The svcutil-generated configuration needs to go into your main app.config, not be included as-is.
You need to add an app.config to your project then merge the contents of the svcutil config into the configuration section.
