System.ServiceModel.EndpointNotFoundException: There was no endpoint listening at configured url

Question

My wcf service was working until I made two changes. When I run it in debug mode I get no errors but when I deploy it to production I get the "No End Point" exception. I've followed the advise given in other posts but no change. Can anyone help me sort this out?

1. Added a method that accepts a string and a byte array


Function method3(ByVal parameter1 As String, ByVal parameter2 As Byte()) As String

2. Added a section to the web.config so larger messages could be sent

<bindings>
  <basicHttpsBinding>
    <binding maxReceivedMessageSize="2100000000"></binding>
  </basicHttpsBinding>
</bindings>

There is no "the" No End Point exception, it can have multiple causes. Read [ask] and [mcve], post the error in full, as well as what exactly you tried to resolve it. — CodeCaster, May 26 '17 at 15:02

Make sure you change your binding type in your client. The client and service bindings have to match. You can always use svcutil to get the correct config info for a service as well.

<system.serviceModel>
    <bindings>
        <basicHttpsBinding>
            <binding name="BasicHttpsBinding_Ipenergydata">
                <security mode="Transport"/>
            </binding>
        </basicHttpsBinding>
    </bindings>
    <client>
        <endpoint address="https://wcfservices.myefaactweb.com/penergydata/penergydata.svc" binding="basicHttpsBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpsBinding_Ipenergydata" contract="penergydata.Ipenergydata" name="BasicHttpsBinding_Ipenergydata"/>
    </client>
</system.serviceModel>

Thanks for the response. The client is using .Net 3.5 and the tag is not available. — John Butler, May 31 '17 at 15:39
