There was no endpoint listening at net.tcp://localhost:10001 that could accept the message - wcf

Question

I'm having a problem when moving a WCF service from Windows 2003 Server to Windows 2008 Server. This service communicates between a web site and a windows service on the same server. The service runs with the below configurations on both 2003 Server and locally on Windows 7 computers.
On the 2008 server, I'm getting the following error message
Exception Type: System.ServiceModel.EndpointNotFoundException
Message: There was no endpoint listening at net.tcp://localhost:10001/DCFDirectCert/SecurityService that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action.

Answer 1

what I can see is, that the security-mode of both bindings is not the same (transport vs. none).
