Question

We have deployed a web service on a production server and still getting this error once trying to get a call to it :

"There was no endpoint listening at http://www.ourproductionserver.com/ClientService.svc/mex that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details."

When looking into the InnerException, it return us a 404 File Not Found…

Weird part, is that if we copy/past the exact same url as giving in the error below (http://www.ourproductionserver.com/ClientService.svc) in IE or FireFox, it shows correctly. Heum, what do we do wrong?

We’ve also tried it on a local server and everything works fine.

Anyone alrealy get something similar and how to resolve it?

Note : Sorry for my english, I usualy talk french.

Our webconfig :

<system.serviceModel>
<serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
<bindings>
  <webHttpBinding>
    <binding name="WebBinding"></binding>
  </webHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<services>
  <service name="ourLib.ServiceImplementations.ClientActionService" behaviorConfiguration="ServiceBehavior">
    <endpoint name="WebEndpoint" behaviorConfiguration="EndpointBehavior" address="" binding="webHttpBinding"
              contract="ourLib.ServiceContracts.IClientActionService">
    </endpoint>
    <endpoint contract="ourLib.ServiceContracts.IClientActionService" address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding"></endpoint>
  </service>
<system.serviceModel>

Our ClientService.svc

 <%@ ServiceHost Language="C#" Debug="true" Service="ourLib.ServiceImplementations.ClientActionService" %>

UPDATE
We discover that the ISP is set to medium trust level when we are set to Full trust. Can it change something? If yes, how could we change it other than web.config (which we alrealy tried).

Answer 1

Well neither of us or the ISP find the reason why so instead of talking to the webservice to gain access to the DB, they’ve put a public IP Address so we can access to the Database directly via this IP instead of goin through a webservice.

Thanks you all but I would love to find out why in case this happen another time in the futur …
