WCF Service - Endpoint is not showing - c#

I have a WCF Service where it has one endpoint and I have the service contract and operation contract setup in the config file but when I run the service, it cannot find the endpoint although I configured it in the web.config.
This service will be setup in IIS so I have no base address setup.
The ServiceContract has a configuration name of agent_port_type and the service behavior has a configuration name of agent_service. I am using basicHttpBinding.
Below is a copy of part of my config file:
<system.serviceModel>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="ETAOutboundServiceBehavior">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" httpsGetEnabled="true" />
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
</behavior>
<behavior name="Metadata">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" httpsGetEnabled="true" />
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<services>
<service behaviorConfiguration="ETAOutboundServiceBehavior" name="agent_service">
<clear />
<endpoint address="" name="agent_interface" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="agent_port_type"
listenUriMode="Explicit" />
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange"
listenUriMode="Explicit" />
</service>
</services>
<protocolMapping>
<add binding="basicHttpsBinding" scheme="https" />
</protocolMapping>
<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
</system.serviceModel>
Any help would be appreciated. I had it working on a different service fine but then I used svcutil to create agent_port_type and it is not working.

You should try simplifying the config to something that Works, then add extra options as need.
Start With:
Remove Clear tag
Remove all References to HTTPS
Remove listenURIMode
Add an address for the endpoint
Check the IIS log that you are calling the service that you think you are calling
Add a syntax error to Your config and check that it fails (to make sure that the config file you are editing is the one being used)

Config wcf service for https/SSL on localhost

EDIT: Already fixed it... I only had to change the Project properties and enable SSL.
ORIGINAL QUESTION:
I'm developing a WCF service that will be hosted in an IIS server with SSL certificate.
My code works perfectly fine when I upload it to the server (that have all the certificates), but since I added the security to the web config, it crash when I try to debug it on my local machine.
I'm using the following web config for a SOAP service that don't need the SSL certificate and a REST service that need it:
<configuration>
...
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="SOAPEndPoint" />
</basicHttpBinding>
<webHttpBinding>
<binding name="SecureBinding" >
<security mode="Transport"></security>
</binding>
</webHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<services>
<service behaviorConfiguration="ServiceBehavior" name="xxx.WS">
<endpoint address="SOAP" binding="basicHttpBinding" name="SOAPEndPoint" contract="xxx.ISerSoap" />
<endpoint address="api" binding="webHttpBinding" name="RESTEndPoint" contract="xxx.ISerRest" behaviorConfiguration="RestBehavior" bindingConfiguration="SecureBinding"/>
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpsBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="ServiceBehavior">
<serviceMetadata httpsGetEnabled="true" httpGetEnabled="true"/>
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior name="RestBehavior">
<webHttp/>
</behavior>
</endpointBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<protocolMapping>
<add binding="basicHttpsBinding" scheme="https" />
</protocolMapping>
<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
</system.serviceModel>
<system.webServer>
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true" />
<directoryBrowse enabled="true" />
</system.webServer>
</configuration>
I want to be able to debug it without the need to change the web config each time I open it during debug and if I have to upload it to the server.
Someone knows a way to bypass the security when I call it in debug mode? Or an easy way to add support of https on my localhost?
Just find that the solution was to activate "SSL Enabled = true" on the project properties windows.

Hide one WCF service in wsdl

I have my own wsdl with few methods.
They are visible in e.g. SoapUI.
I want to implement new service, but I want to hide it from wsdl, but I want to call it.
Is that possible?
Yes it is. Just tell WCF you do not want to expose metadata in the service configuration:
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service behaviorConfiguration="MyServiceBehavior" name="MyService">
<endpoint address="http://MyService:8888" binding="wsSomeBinding" contract="IMyServiceContract" />
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="MyServiceBehavior">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="false"/>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
</system.serviceModel>

Error in wcf service

I am using a wcf service to provide some data to my clients to plot a graph .I have seen some thing and created the service But when I run it is showing following error.How to over come it?
The type 'WcfService2.Servi', provided as the Service attribute value in theServiceHostdirective, or provided in the configuration elementsystem.serviceModel/serviceHostingEnvironment/serviceActivationscould not be found.
this is my web.config file
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
<system.web>
<compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0" />
</system.web>
<system.serviceModel>
<services>

<endpoint address="" binding="webHttpBinding" contract="WcfService2.Servi" behaviorConfiguration="web" bindingConfiguration="crossDomain">

<system.webServer>

</system.webServer>
</configuration>
Your service contract type is called WcfService2.Servi. This looks like a typo. If you correct this, does the service work?

hosting Wcf service via ServerHost in IIS,Console or winform App can add reference?

1 web page access success by JQuery ajax
2 Metadata is also released, the URL access success;
*But why the console app add service reference will appear "object reference not set to an instance of an object"????*
Looks like something wrong with metadata of your WCF service.
Check operations contracts definition.
Do not you have conflicting contract names?
Try to use ServiceModel Metadata Utility Tool (Svcutil.exe) to generated client code from WSDL instead of Visual Studio tool

WSDL file is missing for WCF WebService

I created simple wcf service with default functionality and hosted in IIS7. Its working fine and rendering data to the client. But when I try to click on wsdl link in the service its showing "Page cannot be displayed".Let me know what will be the problem
.
When I try to click the link below (http://win-nsms.smsserver.com/VirtualFolder/MyService.svc?wsdl), WSDL file is not getting displayed in the browser. Instead I am getting "The page cannot be displayed" error in the page
Now If I change the "win-nsms.smsserver.com" to "localhost" in the URL, WSDL file is getting displayed.
Yes I added behaviour configuration in my config as follows
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service name="WcfServiceSample.Service1" behaviorConfiguration="WcfServiceSample.Service1Behavior">
<endpoint address="" binding="wsHttpBinding" contract="WcfServiceSample.IService1">
</endpoint>
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
</service>
</services>
<serviceHostingEnvironment>
<baseAddressPrefixFilters>
<add prefix="http://win-nsms.smsserver.com"/>
</baseAddressPrefixFilters>
</serviceHostingEnvironment>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="WcfServiceSample.Service1Behavior">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
Have you allowed retrieval of service meta data?
In the behaviours section of your config file, add a new behaviour like this:
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="HttpGetMetadata">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="True"/>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
Then tell your service to use this behaviour:
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service name="MyService"
behaviorConfiguration="HttpGetMetadata">
....
This is telling your service to allow the service metadata (the WSDL) to be retrieved via http. To confirm you can browse to the appropriate URL.
Is "mymachinename.domainname.com" added as a hostmask in IIS for the site?
You may need to setup the base address for the service.
<serviceHostingEnvironment>
<baseAddressPrefixFilters>
<add prefix="http://mymachinename.domainname.com"/>
</baseAddressPrefixFilters>
</serviceHostingEnvironment>
I had a similar problem where the service was working 100% for domain.com but not www.domain.com. I had to setup the latter as a redirect to the former and set the base address to the former.
HTH!
Did you enable WDS exposure? Standard settings dont show the WDSL.
