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

Question

I have done following configuration inside configuration file for wsHttpBinding and with transport security. Meta data exchange, base address & bindings all are set for Https but it is still giving this issue.

<system.serviceModel>    
    <bindings>      
  <wsHttpBinding>
            <binding name="WsHttpEndpointBinding">
                <security mode="Transport">
                    <transport clientCredentialType="None"/>
                </security>
            </binding>
        </wsHttpBinding>
    </bindings>
    <services>
        <service behaviorConfiguration="WCFWindowsBasicHttpBinding.Service1Behavior" name="WCFWindowsBasicHttpBinding.Service1">
            <endpoint address="" binding="wsHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="WsHttpEndpointBinding" name="WsHttpEndpoint" contract="WCFWindowsBasicHttpBinding.IService1">
                <identity>
                    <dns value="localhost"/>
                </identity>
            </endpoint>

    <endpoint address="Mex" binding="mexHttpsBinding" contract="IMex"></endpoint>

    <host>
      <baseAddresses>
        <add baseAddress="https://localhost/Service1.svc"/>
      </baseAddresses>
    </host>

        </service>
    </services>
    <behaviors>
        <serviceBehaviors>
            <behavior name="WCFWindowsBasicHttpBinding.Service1Behavior">
                <!-- To avoid disclosing metadata information, set the value below to false and remove the metadata endpoint above before deployment -->
                <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="false" />
                <!-- 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>

Are you hosting the service on IIS? If so, make sure the WebSite you're deploying to has an SSL Binding defined in IIS.
