Consume WCF service from IIS - wcf

Question

I created a WCF Service Library in VS2012 and loaded it to my local IIS.
My client is a Windows-Mobile 6.5 device and the configuration files for the client were generated using the netcfsvcutil.exe. during debugging everything worked great but when I uploaded the service to an external IIS i keep getting a There was no endpoint listening... exception even though the netcfsvcutil.exe generated the files from the external URL. this is the web.config file located on the remote server:
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="TestBinding" receiveTimeout="00:01:00" sendTimeout="00:01:00">
<security mode="None" />
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<services>
<service name="MyService.CollectionService">
<endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="MyService.ICollectionService" bindingConfiguration="TestBinding">
<identity>
<dns value="localhost" />
</identity>
</endpoint>
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
<host>
<baseAddresses>
<add baseAddress="http://localhost:8733/Design_Time_Addresses/MyService/CollectionService/" />
</baseAddresses>
</host>
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior>
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="True" />
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="True" />
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
and the client endpoint is generated like this:
public static System.ServiceModel.EndpointAddress EndpointAddress =
new System.ServiceModel.EndpointAddress("http://1.2.3.4/MyService/MyService.CollectionService.svc");
I haven't made any configuration changes when i uploaded the service to the external IIS, i simply copied & pasted the files from one virtual directory to another.
some thing the might help is that the exception is raised without any timeout.

Answer 1

The base address path and port do not match the endpoint address in your client configuration.
Address in your config: http://localhost:8733/Design_Time_Addresses/MyService/CollectionService/"
Address in your endpoint:
http://1.2.3.4/MyService/MyService.CollectionService.svc
You need to change your endpoint code to
public static System.ServiceModel.EndpointAddress EndpointAddress = new System.ServiceModel.EndpointAddress("http://1.2.3.4:8733/Design_Time_Addresses/MyService/CollectionService");
