Question

I have wcf service that twice a minute check %programdata%/MYAPP folder and send all xml-files from this directory to sharepoint site. But i have some problem with this service (description from Event Viewer):

System.ServiceModel.EndpointNotFoundException: There was no endpoint listening at https://localhost:44300/DataService.svc that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details. ---> System.Net.WebException: Unable to connect to the remote server ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:44300

Service work only if i start service from VS2010 (project->debug->start new instance).

“Service work only if i start service from VS2010 (project->debug->start new instance).”

Sounds to me like you haven’t actually hosted the service anywhere outside of Visual Studio. Based on the service endpoint address it’s looking for, it looks like your intent is to host under IIS.

You’ll need to configure IIS with a virtual directory/application for the service.
