WCF service App configuration error

I failed to find any useful information on that matter so I write here:

I created a WCF service app that works fine in development but when I deploy it I get this error on the IIS (7.0):

The HttpsGetEnabled property of ServiceMetadataBehavior is set to true and the HttpsGetUrl property is a relative address, but there is no https base address. Either supply an https base address or set HttpsGetUrl to an absolute address.

App is .Net FW 4.0, IIS Application Pool is ASP.NET v4.0

web.config:

  <service name="ServiceName.Service1">
    <endpoint address=""
              behaviorConfiguration="restfulBehavior" 
              binding="webHttpBinding" 
              contract="ServiceName.IServiceApp"/>
  </service>

<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" 
                 httpGetUrl="http://localhost:10001/ServiceName"  
                 httpsGetEnabled="false" />
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false" />

Hope someone can help with this.

Shouldn't the httpsGetUrl start with https:? – Tim
yes tryed also that (edit) but no help still same error like its not reading the setting I even searched if I have ServiceMetadata somewhere else in the app but no. So it is somehow like the IIS is not reading the setting from the config file – Jester
Added the endpoint configuration can't put the whole webconfig here for some reason. Hope it helps someone to help me with this – Jester

You have declared serviceMetadata twice, which is not necessary. Also, you supply a httpsGetUrl (with a http address) while you don't want to use it.

Try this:

<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"
                 httpGetUrl="http://localhost:10001/ServiceName"
                 httpsGetEnabled="false"
/>

Still don't know what the problem was with this but for other people that might come along this I will post what solved it for me.

First I done the service in .Net 4.5 but since the IIS only supports ASP.NET 4.0 I converted it after to 4.0 by just changing the target framework

I made the whole service again from scratch with .Net 4.0 and this worked as far as the webconfig goes it is much easyer to use:

Factory="System.ServiceModel.Activation.WebServiceHostFactory"

And remove the system.serviceModel element alltogether from the WebConfig.

So my conclusion was that the switch from .Net framework 4.5 -> 4.0 was what caused the problem (VS 2013).

Hope helps someone
