Question

Hi I am having an WCF sync Service hosting on IIS7 on my server, I can access the URL in browser, Actually i built the WCF service and later on i added a wcf service website to my solution by adding my wcf service reference. and in the service.svc file i mentioned the particular service. the web.config in the wcf site looks like

<configuration>
  <system.serviceModel>
    <services>
      <service behaviorConfiguration="ServiceBehavior" name="SimGuru_WCF.SimGuruDBCacheSyncService">
        <endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration=""
          contract="SimGuru_WCF.ISimGuruDBCacheSyncContract">
          <identity>
            <dns value="localhost" />
          </identity>
        </endpoint>
        <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
      </service>
    </services>
    <behaviors>
      <serviceBehaviors>
        <behavior name="ServiceBehavior">
          <!-- To avoid disclosing metadata information, set the value below to false and remove the metadata endpoint above before deployment -->
          <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
          <!-- 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>
</configuration>

When i am trying to access the service it is giving me the “The remote server returned an error: (404) Not found” but still i can access the service through URL
And app.config file is

<configuration>

  <configSections>
  </configSections>
  <connectionStrings>
    <add name="SimGuru_WCF.Properties.Settings.ServerSimGuru_RetailConnectionString"
      connectionString="Data Source=SIMGURU\SQLEXPRESS;Initial Catalog=SimGuru_Retail;Integrated Security=True"
      providerName="System.Data.SqlClient" />
  </connectionStrings>
   <system.web>
    <compilation debug="true" />
  </system.web>
  <!-- When deploying the service library project, the content of the config file must be added to the host's 
  app.config file. System.Configuration does not support config files for libraries. -->

<diagnostics>
                         <messageLogging maxMessagesToLog="30000" 
                                 logEntireMessage="true" 
                                 logMessagesAtServiceLevel="true" 
                                 logMalformedMessages="true" 
                                 logMessagesAtTransportLevel="true">
                         </messageLogging>
                 </diagnostics>
  </system.serviceModel>
<system.diagnostics>
                 <sources>
                         <source name="System.ServiceModel" 
                                 switchValue="Verbose, ActivityTracing" 
                                 propagateActivity="true" >
                                 <listeners>
                                         <add name="xml" />
                                 </listeners>
                         </source>
                         <source name="System.ServiceModel.MessageLogging" 
                                 switchValue="Verbose">
                                 <listeners>
                                         <add name="xml" />
                                 </listeners>
                         </source>
                 </sources>
                 <sharedListeners>
                         <add name="xml" 
                              type="System.Diagnostics.XmlWriterTraceListener" 
                              initializeData="e2eTraceTest.e2e" />
                 </sharedListeners>
                 <trace autoflush="true" />
         </system.diagnostics>

The Trace viewer explained me where i am doing wrong one thing is that security issues with the sql server, and more over i don’t even have a connection string property in my web. config file i have one on wcf service but not on wcf web site
Any how it is solved

thanks all for your co-operation
