“There was no endpoint listening” - Configuration Mismatch Perhaps?

Question

I get

"There was no endpoint listening at https://localhost/BassCoastServices/GeneralUtilityService.svc that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details."

when I call the GeneralUtilityService from the client side and

"There was no channel actively listening at ' https://laura-laptop/BassCoastServices/GeneralUtilityService.svc '. This is often caused by an incorrect address URI. Ensure that the address to which the message is sent matches an address on which a service is listening."

shows up when I debug w3wp.

Is there some sort of tool I can use that will make sure a client and server config file line up? If this is an easy fix, please see the below App and Web config files.

Calling WCF

_Channel = GetProxy<IGeneralUtilityService>();
_Channel.BeginTransaction(transactionId);
_Channel.CommitTransaction(transactionId);

public static T GetProxy<T>()
{
    var channelFactory = new ChannelFactory<T>(string.Format("{0}EndPoint", typeof(T).Name));
    channelFactory.Credentials.UserName.UserName = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["Username"];
    channelFactory.Credentials.UserName.Password = ConfigurationSettings.AppSettings["Password"];
    var workflowProxy = channelFactory.CreateChannel();
    return workflowProxy;
}

Thanks in advance!

Update: I don't know what I did but now I'm getting

"Content Type application/soap+xml; charset=utf-8 was not supported by service http://localhost/BassCoastServices/GeneralUtilityService.svc . The client and service bindings may be mismatched."

Answer 1

Your problem is the way you create your channel factory. Some how it can not get the correct EndpointConfigurationName.

I'm not quite familiar on how to use only the EndpointConfigurationName as parameter in Channel Factory but you can try it this way:

var channelFactory = new ChannelFactory<T>("*", new EndpointAddress("https://localhost/BassCoastServices/GeneralUtilityService.svc"));

Answer 2

Well I don't know what the problem was but for anyone looking for a solution to this problem here are my web and app config files:
