Question

I am trying to use a web browser to test the new service I made, but with no luck. Whenever I hit the URL it just comes up blank. Here is my config can anyone see any error that I have?

  <connectionStrings>
    <add name="APerson"
         connectionString="data source=|DataDirectory|Database.sdf"

  </connectionStrings>
  <system.web>
    <compilation debug="true" targetFramework="4.0" />
  </system.web>
  <system.serviceModel>

      <service name="HighTech_API_Service" behaviorConfiguration="ServiceDebug">

          <!-- 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="true"/>

</configuration>

Using the WCF test client works fine to operate my service but I need to do it via URLs.
