WCF Could not find a base address that matches scheme http for the endpoint with binding MetadataExchangeHttpBinding

Question

I'm trying to get a wcf service working in a windows service host. I am currently receiving the error "Could not find a base address that matches scheme http for the endpoint with binding MetadataExchangeHttpBinding. Registered base address schemes are [net.tcp]."

I am using .Net Framework 4.5

I am trying to get a tcp.net binary service. Any help appreciated. The trace file that I have created isn't being helpful. Here's my [REVISED] app.config:

Answer 1

can you try:

<service name="SettingsDB.Settings">

add name to the behavior and change the httpGetUrl to simply true

<behavior>
  <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" 
                   httpGetUrl="true"     />
  <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
</behavior>
