WCF service running at localhost: 4040

I hope this is a quick question. I have a WCF service running on IIS port 4040. I added the following headers for this service

4040 (no-load balance)

4040 localhost

So locally I can refer to this service as http: // localhost: 4040 / service.svc as well as the fully qualified domain name. This is not a problem for all services on this machine, I can link to everything on localhost: 4040

The problem occurs when I try to access it from another server (since we have other applications that need to consume the service)

I am getting a 404 error and wondering if the default service for checking on localhost loopback (127.0.0.1) is not running, so it cannot be accessed.

The end point is defined as such:

 <service behaviorConfiguration="ClaimChaseBehavior"
          name="Modules.EClaims.ClaimChase">
    <endpoint address=""
              binding="basicHttpBinding"
              contract="Domain.EClaims.DataInterfaces.IClaimChase" />
    <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" 
              contract="IMetadataExchange" />
 </service>

Note. I am not specifying an address. The reason for this is to allow us to have a common config file (we are trying to bypass the definition of domains / addresses of machines and hence multiple configurations)

Is there a way to make WCF default for device IP instead of loopback connector without specifying the actual domain name

Hope this makes sense

Hello

When you host your service in IIS, the address of the service is determined and controlled by the location of your * .svc file - you cannot override this by specifying base addresses or an explicit address on the service endpoints.

The service address will always be:



http://machinename/VirtualDirectory/YourService.svc

Check your web config. Did you clarify that the service address is localhost?

EDIT:



Second, it looks like a firewall issue, is port 4040 blocked by the local firewall?
