WCF works in VS but not in IIS - wcf

Question

Have a web application. It runs 2 wcf services, and is a client for another. One wcf service works fine, the other does not work on the dev server but does work locally. The error is "The content type text/html; charset=UTF-8 of the response message does not match the content type of the binding"
The the wcf part of the web application config is
<system.serviceModel>
<diagnostics>
<messageLogging logMalformedMessages="true" logMessagesAtTransportLevel="true" />
</diagnostics>
<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />

</service>

The test client wcf part of the config is

contract="eShopWorldSvc.ICheckoutVendorService" name="BasicHttpBinding_ICheckoutVendorService" />
</client>
The mobile service works, so I assume iis is set up correctly.
If I put the svc url in a browser it shows me service page and if I add the wsdl to the url is shows the wsdl.
Have been beating my head against this for 2 days now and cannot find a problem.
Any help is sorley appreciated
So trying Dimitri's suggestion my web.config now looks like this
<services>
<service name="company.eShopWorld.Wcf.eShopWorldWCFService" behaviorConfiguration="company.Web.Wcf.EshopServiceBehavior">
<endpoint address="/eShopWorldService.svc" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_ICheckoutVendorService" contract="Nad.CheckoutVendor.Interfaces.ICheckoutVendorService"/>
<endpoint contract="IMetadataExchange" binding="mexHttpBinding" address="mex" />
</service>
<service name="company.Mobile.Wcf.MobileService" behaviorConfiguration="company.Mobile.Wcf.ServiceBehavior" >
<endpoint address="/MobileService.svc" binding="basicHttpBinding" contract="company.Mobile.Wcf.IMobileService" />
<endpoint contract="IMetadataExchange" binding="mexHttpBinding" address="mex" />
</service>
</services>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="company.Web.Wcf.EshopServiceBehavior">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
</behavior>
<behavior name="company.Mobile.Wcf.ServiceBehavior">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
<serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<bindings>
<basicHttpBinding>
<binding name="BasicHttpBinding_ICheckoutVendorService" closeTimeout="00:02:00"
openTimeout="00:02:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:02:00"
allowCookies="false" bypassProxyOnLocal="false" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"
maxBufferSize="65536" maxBufferPoolSize="524288" maxReceivedMessageSize="65536"
messageEncoding="Text" textEncoding="utf-8" transferMode="Buffered"
useDefaultWebProxy="true">
<readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxStringContentLength="8192" maxArrayLength="16384"
maxBytesPerRead="4096" maxNameTableCharCount="16384" />
<security mode="None">
<transport clientCredentialType="None" proxyCredentialType="None"
realm="" />
<message clientCredentialType="UserName" algorithmSuite="Default" />
</security>
</binding>
</basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
But I still have the error. Note that I had to include the name of the service to prevent a 404 error
I am somewhat confused by the fact that each of the services have their own web.config as well as the web app's web.config. I assume they somehow get rolled up into the project when compiled as if there are errors in them they get thrown. Any other ideas?
thnx

Try this in your Web application's (not client's) config:
<system.serviceModel>
<diagnostics>
<messageLogging logMalformedMessages="true" logMessagesAtTransportLevel="true" />
</diagnostics>
<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
<services>
<service name="company.eShopWorld.Wcf.eShopWorldWCFService" behaviorConfiguration="company.Web.Wcf.ServiceBehavior">
<endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_ICheckoutVendorService" contract="Nad.CheckoutVendor.Interfaces.ICheckoutVendorService" />
<endpoint contract="IMetadataExchange" binding="mexHttpBinding" address="mex" />
</service>
<service name="company.Mobile.Wcf.MobileService" behaviorConfiguration="company.Mobile.Wcf.ServiceBehavior" />
<endpoint contract="IMetadataExchange" binding="mexHttpBinding" address="mex" />
</service>

Answer 2

It looks like you're trying to configure two different services using the same service contract. If you actually want to do that, just define different address values for different endpoints within that same service but that probably isn't very useful.
If the Mobile service exposes a different contract then you do need two different service configurations, one for each contract. In this case, clone the company.eShopWorld.Wcf.eShopWorldWCFService service element and change the contract attribute to have the correct .NET namespace and interface type for the Mobile service. You'll also need separate *.svc files for each service. I believe the default addresses for the two service would be something like this:
http://HostName/service.svc
http://HostName/mobileservice.svc

Answer 3

So the problem turned out to be a rule that was converting the service name to all lower case. It did not cause problems in VS debug, but did in IIS
