I have six wcf services that I'm hosting in a windows service. Everything works great on my machine (Windows 7) but when I try it in production (Windows Server 2003) I cannot connect
to one of my six services, ReportsService.
I figured I must have a typo, but everything looks right. I've even rewritten that section of the config file just
to be sure.
I've turned on WCF tracing, but it never shows the call
to my service; nothing helpful in there.
I tried connecting
to the port (9005) with telnet, but it failed. I can connect
to all other services (ports 9001-4 and 9006) just fine.
I thought that maybe there was a problem with port 9005, so I changed it
to 9007 and still couldn't connect. I had
one of my working services host on 9005 and it actually worked fine. So I'm pretty sure there's nothing wrong with the port or any firewall settings. Whatever port I tell ReportsService
to use fails.
Now I'm out of ideas. It seems like it's not hosting that
one service, but I cannot get any information about why or what's wrong. Any ideas on what I could try
to get that information? Or what might be wrong?
The unhandled System.ServiceModel.EndpointNotFoundException I get when running my client is:
Could not connect
to net.tcp://localhost:9005/ReportsService. The
connection attempt lasted for a time span of 00:00:01.0937430. TCP error
code 10061: No connection could be made because the target machine
actively refused it 172.0.0.1:9005. .
My host's config file contains:
<!-- Snipped other services
to simplify for you. -->
<endpoint binding="netTcpBinding" bindingConfiguration="customTcpBinding" contract="ServiceContracts.IReportsService" />
<endpoint binding="netTcpBinding" bindingConfiguration="customTcpBinding" contract="ServiceContracts.IUpdateData" />
IReportService is the
one I'm having trouble with. I get a proxy
to IReportsService with the following code, where Server is the name of the hosting machine:
return new ChannelFactory<IReportsService>("").CreateChannel(new EndpointAddress(string.Format("net.tcp://{0}:9005/ReportsService", Server)));
My client config file contains:

I've tried
to keep things simple with the code snippets above, but if you would like
to see more just ask and I'd be happy
to provide anything that'll help.
