Hosting WCF service created in VS2010 on IIS

Question

I have been through tons of threads and am unable to find the correct answer for my question. I have created a very simple WCF service on my development machine using visual studio 2010. The service works correctly when using VS to host it. I have even had success creating a small c# application to consume this service. However I now need to move this service to IIS on my work's development server. I have tried following several guides online but nothing has worked so far. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

if you are able to execute your wcf service using WCFTestClient successfully and not on IIS

that means problem is in endpoint configuration. I suggest have a look once again endpoint suggestions.

Answer 2

Using Web Deploy to publish from Visual Studio to a remote web server requires additional installation of Web Deploy on the server http://www.iis.net/learn/install/installing-publishing-technologies/installing-and-configuring-web-deploy

Visual Studio generates an output log during the web deploy publish that may have additional information on why it is failing. Sometimes there are permission issues to work through as well http://blogs.iis.net/krolson/archive/2009/11/04/using-iis-manager-accounts-for-web-deployment-tool-msdeploy-delegation.aspx

You can also generate a Web Deploy Package with Visual Studio and manually deploy it to the serverhttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd465323(v=vs.110).aspx
