Question

I have a WCF Service running fine on my local machine. I put it on the servers, and I am receiving the following error:

An error occurred while receiving the
HTTP response to
http://xx.xx.x.xx:8200/Services/WCFClient.svc.
This could be due to the service
endpoint binding not using the HTTP
protocol. This could also be due to an
HTTP request context being aborted by
the server (possibly due to the
service shutting down). See server
logs for more details.]

I have gone to the service in the url and it is working correctly. All I am doing for the function is returning a string to an image name, so the data being passed isn’t a lot. I have traced the log and it gives me the same information. Here is my client config:

<binding name="basicHttpBinding_IWCFClient" closeTimeout="00:01:00"
         openTimeout="00:01:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:01:00"
         bypassProxyOnLocal="false" hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"
         maxBufferPoolSize="2147483647" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647"
         messageEncoding="Text" textEncoding="utf-8" useDefaultWebProxy="true"
         allowCookies="false">
    <readerQuotas maxDepth="2147483647" maxStringContentLength="2147483647" 
                  maxArrayLength="2147483647" maxBytesPerRead="2147483647" 
                  maxNameTableCharCount="2147483647" />
    <security mode="None">
        <transport clientCredentialType="None" proxyCredentialType="None" realm="" />
        <message clientCredentialType="UserName" algorithmSuite="Default" />
    </security>
</binding>
<endpoint name="basicHttpBinding_IWCFClient" 
    address="http://localhost:4295/Services/WCFClient.svc"
    binding="basicHttpBinding" 
    bindingConfiguration="basicHttpBinding_IWCFClient" 
    behaviorConfiguration="WCFGraphicManagementTool.Services.ClientBehavior"
    contract="WCFClient.IWCFClient" />

Here is my server config:

<service behaviorConfiguration="WCFGraphicManagementTool.Services.WCFClientBehavior"
    name="WCFGraphicManagementTool.Services.WCFClient">
   <endpoint name="basicHttpBinding_IWCFClient"
       address="" 
       binding="basicHttpBinding" 
       contract="WCFGraphicManagementTool.Contracts.IWCFClient" />
   <endpoint 
       address="mex" 
       binding="mexHttpBinding" 
       contract="IMetadataExchange" />
</service>
<behavior name="WCFGraphicManagementTool.Services.WCFClientBehavior">
   <dataContractSerializer maxItemsInObjectGraph="2147483647" />
   <serviceThrottling maxConcurrentCalls="120" maxConcurrentSessions="120"
                      maxConcurrentInstances="120" />
   <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
   <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
</behavior>

Would it be a setting on the server since it works on my local machine?

I figured out the problem. It ended up being a path to my config file was wrong. The errors for WCF are so helpful sometimes.
