Exception: Could not find a base address that matches scheme net.tcp

Question

I've been struggling with reconfiguring a working service to add a netTcp endpoint.

The service is hosted on IIS 8.5

I've been getting the following exception:

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

Stack trace:

  <services>
  <service name="Niloosoft.ServiceBus" behaviorConfiguration="AuthenticationAndAuthorizationSecurity">
    <host>
      <baseAddresses>
        <add baseAddress="net.tcp://localhost:7213"/>
      </baseAddresses>
    </host>

    <endpoint
      address="secureBus"
      binding="basicHttpBinding"
      bindingConfiguration="TransportSecurity"
      contract="Niloosoft.IServiceBus" />
    <endpoint
      address="tcpBus"
      binding="netTcpBinding"
      bindingConfiguration="ServiceBusTcpBinding"
      contract="Niloosoft.IServiceBus" />
    <endpoint
     address="tcpMex"
     binding="mexTcpBinding"
     contract="IMetadataExchange" />
    <endpoint
      address="mex"
      binding="mexHttpsBinding"
      contract="IMetadataExchange" />
  </service>
</services>

The binding configurations seem to work well for other services but I may be missing something else.

IIS has binding configuration for each service, I added a tcp binding there with *:7213 address.

Any suggestions, ideas as to what I'm missing? I went through a lot of different posts to see if perhaps I made an error somewhere.

All help is appreciated.

The issue was that the configuration HttpGetEnabled was set to true, it is necessary to set it to false if your webservice should accept HTTPS.
