How to fix "could not find a base address that matches schema http"... in WCF

Question

I'm trying to deploy a WCF service to my server, hosted in IIS. Naturally it works on my machine :)

But when I deploy it, I get the following error:

This collection already contains an address with scheme http. There can be at most one address per scheme in this collection.

Googling on this, I find that I have to put a serviceHostingEnvironment element into the web.config file:

<serviceHostingEnvironment>   <baseAddressPrefixFilters>     <add prefix="http://mywebsiteurl"/>   </baseAddressPrefixFilters> </serviceHostingEnvironment> 

But once I have done this, I get the following:

Could not find a base address that matches scheme http for the endpoint with binding BasicHttpBinding. Registered base address schemes are [https].

It seems it doesn't know what the base address is, but how do I specify it? Here's the relevant section of my web.config file:

<system.serviceModel>   <serviceHostingEnvironment>     <baseAddressPrefixFilters>       <add prefix="http://mywebsiteurl"/>     </baseAddressPrefixFilters>   </serviceHostingEnvironment>    <behaviors>     <serviceBehaviors>       <behavior name="WcfPortalBehavior">         <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>         <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true"/>       </behavior>     </serviceBehaviors>   </behaviors>   <bindings>     <basicHttpBinding>       <binding name="BasicHttpBinding_IWcfPortal"                maxBufferSize="2147483647" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647"                receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:10:00"                openTimeout="00:10:00" closeTimeout="00:10:00">         <readerQuotas maxBytesPerRead="2147483647" maxArrayLength="2147483647"                maxStringContentLength="2147483647"/>       </binding>     </basicHttpBinding>   </bindings>    <services>     <service behaviorConfiguration="WcfPortalBehavior" name="Csla.Server.Hosts.Silverlight.WcfPortal">       <endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="Csla.Server.Hosts.Silverlight.IWcfPortal"       bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IWcfPortal">       </endpoint>       <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange"/>     </service>   </services> </system.serviceModel> 

Can anybody shed some light on what's going on and how to fix it?

Answer 1

Try changing the security mode from "Transport" to "None".

      <!-- Transport security mode requires IIS to have a            certificate configured for SSL. See readme for            more information on how to set this up. -->       <security mode="None">

I had to do two things to the IIS configuration of the site/application. My issue had to do with getting net.tcp working in an IIS Web Site App:

First:

1. Right click on the IIS App name.
2. Manage Web Site
3. Advanced Settings
4. Set Enabled protocols to be "http,net.tcp"

Second:

1. Under the Actions menu on the right side of the Manager, click Bindings...
2. Click Add
3. Change type to "net.tcp"
4. Set binding information to {open port number}:*
5. OK
