Uploading via service and getting message endpoint not available on larger sized files

I have a WCF service running on a virtual machine. I haven't changed anything on this server or the service in quite some time. When I try to send up a file through the service that is ~25 mb I am getting this:
----------------------------------------------------------

Message: There was no endpoint listening at http://www.myservice.com/xxx/FileService.svc that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details.

When I send up a smaller file, such as a 1mb file, I have no issues. I have tested this on several computers and I get the same results.
Any suggestions?

There are 3 things that you can change in order to make it work :
IIS Host Settings:
I believe you have hosted the WCF service in IIS. Hence you need to set the
When sending large amounts of data you will need to set the maxAllowedContentLength IIS setting (for more information see Configuring IIS Request Limits)
This value defaults to ~28MB as far as I know.
Max Received Message Size:
You will have to change this to some other value (e.g. long.MaxValue). By default it is set to 64 KB.
Enable Streaming
By default the mode of transmission for WCF is buffered. While sending and receiving all data need to be present in memory - which would not be possible for large files.
Hence you will have to change the mode to "streaming" as shown below:
<system.serviceModel>
…
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="ExampleBinding" transferMode="Streaming"/>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
…
<system.serviceModel>
Refer the documentation.

WCF communication error

We've been encountering a WCF communication error for a couple of days now and I can't figure out what is causing the error. I originally thought that it was an SSL cert issue, but it's not. I also made sure the endpoint was reachable by just entering the URL on the web browser and it is view-able. I also made sure that the default request size is not causing the problem. I'm certain that the requests are less than the default of 30MB.
What other things can prevent this stack trace error?

Try to set KeepAlive off.
Something like:
var client = new MyWcfClient();
var customBinding = new CustomBinding(client.Endpoint.Binding);
var transportElement = customBinding.Elements.Find<HttpTransportBindingElement>();
transportElement.KeepAliveEnabled = false;
client.Endpoint.Binding = customBinding;

WCF client binding to access https service. Could not establish secure channel for SSL/TLS with authority

I need to create WCF client to connect service available via https.
Current client configuration responsible for WCF looks like this:
<wsHttpBinding>
<binding name="TestBinding">
<security mode="Transport">
<transport clientCredentialType="None" />
</security>
</binding>
</wsHttpBinding>
<client>
<endpoint address="https://address/etc" binding="wsHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="TestBinding" contract="TestService.Test" name="TestName"/>
</client>
Unfortunately I'm getting an error:

I don't have an access to modify anywise this service
UPDATE:
For testing purpose I'm ignoring certificates in global.asax in Application_Start but I'm stil getting the same exception
protected void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e) {
ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = delegate { return true; };
}

an Untrusted certificate can cause this.
try this before calling your service:
protected void BypassCertificateError()
{
ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback = delegate (object sender, X509Certificate certificate, X509Chain chain, SslPolicyErrors sslPolicyErrors) { return true; };
}
but be aware that this is not a good practice as it completely ignores the server certificate.

WCF throwing before sending response to client

I have a WCF service where IGameServices contains:
[ServiceContract]
public interface IGameServices
{
[OperationContract]
DtoReturnedMessage<DtoGame> GetGame(Guid gameId);
}
AdminServices contains:
public class AdminService : IGameServices
{
private readonly BoGame _boGame = new BoGame();
public DtoReturnedMessage<DtoGame> GetGame(Guid gameId)
{
return _boGame.Get(gameId);
}
}
I have that BoGame, which is a class with business logics.
My config is:
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="BasicHttpBinding_IGameServices" sendTimeout="00:05:00" />
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
<endpoint address="http://localhost:50380/Services/Implementations/AdminService.svc"
binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IGameServices"
contract="IGameServices" name="BasicHttpBinding_IGameServices" />
</client>
</system.serviceModel>
When I debug it step-by-step, all the business logics works properly, and throws the exception below when the response should be sent to the client.
An error occurred while receiving the HTTP response to http://localhost:50380/Services/Implementations/AdminService.svc. This could be due to the service endpoint binding not using the HTTP protocol. This could also be due to an HTTP request context being aborted by the server (possibly due to the service shutting down). See server logs for more details.

It is weird because I have a method to save some data into the DB, in the same IGameServices, which saves normally and returns the success message as expected.
Does any one know what that can be?

I solved the problem. The error was too generic, actually. The issue was with build versions of Postsharp not matching.
I found it out by trying to open the services directly on the browser. I removed Postsharp in that project and BANG.

Binding error (binding mismatch?, security mismatch?) when calling a web service

Please forgive my lack of experience with WCF, but I'm having an issue with it that I am having some difficulty understanding.
Another organization at the company I work at has created a web service for me to consume. I believe I have correctly added a Service Reference to my project using the WSDL they provided. Their web service is based off of an Oracle API that I know very little of, I'm not an Oracle developer.
Here is the code I used to make use of the service reference:
BasicHttpBinding basicHttpBinding = new BasicHttpBinding();
basicHttpBinding.Security.Mode = BasicHttpSecurityMode.TransportWithMessageCredential;
basicHttpBinding.Security.Message.ClientCredentialType = BasicHttpMessageCredentialType.UserName;
EndpointAddress epa = new EndpointAddress("https://MYENDPOINT.URL");
MyServiceReference.SERVICENAME_PortTypeClient port = new MyServiceReference.SERVICENAME_PortTypeClient(basicHttpBinding, epa);
port.ClientCredentials.UserName.UserName = SERVICE_U;
port.ClientCredentials.UserName.Password = SERVICE_P;
SOAHeader header = new SOAHeader();
header.Responsibility = SERVICE_RESPONSIBILITY;
InputParameters2 ip2 = new InputParameters2();
ip2.param1 = "abcd";
ip2.param2 = "1234"
OutputParameters2 output = port.WEB_SERVICE_FUNCTION(header, ip2);
Here the information in my Web.Config file regarding the binding information:
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="SERVICENAME_Binding">
<security mode="None" />
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
<endpoint address="https://MYENDPOINT.URL"
binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="SERVICENAME_Binding"
contract="MyServiceReference.SERVICENAME_PortType"
name=SERVICENAME_Port" />
</client>
</system.serviceModel>
When the call is made to the service I get the following error:
Security processor was unable to find a security header in the
message. This might be because the message is an unsecured fault or
because there is a binding mismatch between the communicating parties.
This can occur if the service is configured for security and the
client is not using security.

After looking at the stack trace, it appears that the verification of the response may be the issue which lead me to believe that it may have to do with a timestamp issue that others have had (ex. http://blog.latamhub.com/?p=78) may be the issue, but when I try to add the includeTimestamp="true" attribute to the security tag in the Web.Config file, VS2012 reports that the includeTimestamp attribute is not allowed. Not quite certain what is going on here or what else to check. Any help or ideas are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
EDIT (2013-05-30):
Tried the following custom binding with the includeTimestamp set to true and false with no success:
<customBinding>
<binding name="SERVICENAME_Binding">
<security
includeTimestamp="true"
/>
</binding>
</customBinding>
