Unable to resolve WCF webservice hosted at appharbor

Question

I am trying to host a WCF webservice at appharbor.com The service is responding as expected when hosted locally, but when build and hosted at appharbor, it only returns 404.

The service is running in a console application:

namespace Service.Host
{
    class Program
    {

        static void Main(string[] args)
        {

            var host = new ServiceHost<AchievementService>();

            host.Open();

            Console.WriteLine("AchievementService is running...\nPush any key to terminate.");
            Console.ReadLine();

            host.Close();
        }
    }
}

The app.config is looking like this:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<configuration>
  <system.serviceModel>
   <serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
    <services>
      <service name="Service.Main.AchievementService">
        <host>
          <baseAddresses>
            <add baseAddress="http://achiever.apphb.com"/>
            <!--<add baseAddress="http://localhost"/>-->
          </baseAddresses>
        </host>
        <endpoint address="AchievementService/"
                  behaviorConfiguration="RestBehavior"
                  binding="webHttpBinding"
                  contract="Service.Main.Contracts.IAchievementService"/>
        <endpoint address="mex" 
                  binding="mexHttpBinding" 
                  contract="IMetadataExchange" />
      </service>
    </services>

    <behaviors>
      <endpointBehaviors>
        <behavior name="RestBehavior">
          <webHttp helpEnabled="true" />
        </behavior>
      </endpointBehaviors>
      <serviceBehaviors>
        <behavior name="">
          <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" />
          <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
        </behavior>
      </serviceBehaviors>
    </behaviors>

  </system.serviceModel>
  <startup>
    <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" sku=".NETFramework,Version=v4.0"/>
  </startup>
  <system.webServer>
    <modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true" />
  </system.webServer>
</configuration>

If i use the baseaddress containing the value "http://localhost" i can access the get method, metadata, help etc in my webservice. But when i change it to achiever.apphb.com and builds it, i only receive 404 at http://achiever.apphb.com/AchievementService/ or http://achiever.apphb.com/

What I have tried is various configurations of addresses, i've tried localhost builded at appharbor with same result. I have also searched for examples, but i havn't found anything that could help me out with this problem.

The service is deployed and is not containing any tests, with the note from appharbor:

Yes, I have updated the question to reflect that. Good point though — AndreasPK, May 05 '12 at 16:29
The only thing I can thing of is that your WCF host doesn't have the appropriate end points configured. I know you have an `app.config` but that doesn't mean its the correct one for the host. — Ritch Melton, May 05 '12 at 20:09
As I understand, the endpoints configuration is how to access the webservice. Could you elaborate when you mean by appropriate endpoints configured? Each of the endpoints should be accessible. — AndreasPK, May 05 '12 at 23:08
WCF services have to be hosted by something. For appharbor I assume its some sort of IIS configuration. — Ritch Melton, May 06 '12 at 04:47

Please check your build status and tests. If one of your tests was failed, the project cannot be deployed.

The build doesn't contain any tests, and is deployed, so the error seems to lie elsewhere. – AndreasPK May 05 '12 at 16:29

I had trouble with metadata for the WCF service. But was able to see the WCF service was there using the *.svc location. Does http://achiever.apphb.com/AchievementService/[Name of your service].svc work for you?

Edit: Try this fix Hosting a WCF Web API app on AppHarbor?
