WCF Service HowTo. Please help

Hi
I was checking KB for suggestions but couldn't find info about this

So i wrote a simple WCF Service Library (VS2010 .NET4). It works fine on local machine. I am connecting to it with Windows Application. It doesn't require any IIS

Published on this FTP Address
FTP Address: ftp://[My User]:[My Password]@ftp.onlinexc.w03.Winhost.com (As shown in site info)

My Site's URL is: http://onlinexc.w03.Winhost.com/ (As shown in site info)

So, now my Problem is:
I did put this URL in my Service's app.config this way (sorry for such a large post), but my client can't connect to server:

Pls let me know what i did wrong

Thanks

 

Whats the error message? Do you have a URL we can look at?

 

Here is error mesage:

As seen from here, the URL is:
http://onlinexc.w03.Winhost.com:8732/Design_Time_Addresses/LotteryServer/Service1/127.0.0.1

P.S. To connect to service, in Client's app.config the following line:
<endpoint address="http://localhost:8732/Design_Time_Addresses/LotteryServer/Service1/127.0.0.1"

Replaced with:
<endpoint address="http://onlinexc.w03.Winhost.com:8732/Design_Time_Addresses/LotteryServer/Service1/127.0.0.1"

 

Try replacing the address line from...

<add baseAddress="http://http://onlinexc.w03.Winhost.com:8732/Design_Time_Addresses/LotteryServer/Service1/" />

to...

<add baseAddress="http://onlinexc.w03.Winhost.com:8732/Design_Time_Addresses/LotteryServer/Service1/" />

It looks like you got the two http mis-typed.

 

Oops. sry
Corrected but still same error

btw, after i publish my service, will it start automatically? or do i have to somehow start it manually?

 

It should start automatically. But if you want you can recycle your application and the server will re-upload the application into the process. You can recycle your application pool inside the Winhost control panel under the Site Info Manager page.

 

It appears that Winhost supports WCF only in IIS!!!

Here is what your Customer Support wrote about it:

we do not accept connections on port 8732 which is resulting in the problem as we only support IIS-based WCF services

 

So now i converted my App to be hosted in IIS. Locally it works, but here it gives me this error when i try to connect:

The remote server returned an unexpected response: (405) Method Not Allowed.

this is the most progress i've made
Here is my Web.config file

HTML:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
  <system.serviceModel>
    <services>
      <service behaviorConfiguration="ServiceBehavior" name="WcfServiceLibrary1.Beka">
        <endpoint address="http://winplatinum.com" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration=""
          contract="WcfServiceLibrary1.IBeka">
          <identity>
            <dns value="winplatinum.com" />
          </identity>
        </endpoint>
        <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
      </service>
    </services>
    <behaviors>
      <serviceBehaviors>
        <behavior name="ServiceBehavior">
          <!-- To avoid disclosing metadata information, set the value below to false and remove the metadata endpoint above before deployment -->
          <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
          <!-- To receive exception details in faults for debugging purposes, set the value below to true.  Set to false before deployment to avoid disclosing exception information -->
          <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>
        </behavior>
      </serviceBehaviors>
    </behaviors>
  </system.serviceModel>
 
</configuration>

And an app.config file on Client side:

HTML:

    <system.serviceModel>
        <bindings>
            <basicHttpBinding>

                    openTimeout="00:01:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:01:00"
                    allowCookies="false" bypassProxyOnLocal="false" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"
                    maxBufferSize="65536" maxBufferPoolSize="524288" maxReceivedMessageSize="65536"
                    messageEncoding="Text" textEncoding="utf-8" transferMode="Buffered"
                    useDefaultWebProxy="true">
                    <readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxStringContentLength="8192" maxArrayLength="16384"
                        maxBytesPerRead="4096" maxNameTableCharCount="16384" />
                    <security mode="None">
                        <transport clientCredentialType="None" proxyCredentialType="None"
                            realm="" />
                        <message clientCredentialType="UserName" algorithmSuite="Default" />
                    </security>
                </binding>
            </basicHttpBinding>
        </bindings>
        <client>
            <endpoint address="http://winplatinum.com"
                binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IBeka"
                contract="WebServiceReference1.IBeka" name="BasicHttpBinding_IBeka" />
        </client>
    </system.serviceModel>
</configuration>

Thanks in advice

 

Give us another URL to look at the error. The error you provided is not enough to really diagnose the problem.
