Problems deploying WCF REST service

I seem to be suffering from a multitude of problems here and I'd appreciate some help to find my way through. I created a WCF-based REST web service using the WCF Rest Starter Kit. When running with the ASP.NET development server in VS2008 it works fine.

When I built a release and run the local ASP.NET development server against it, I get a 404 error when I look at the .svc file. I then uploaded this version to my hosting environment, and I got:-

This collection already contains and address with scheme http.

I followed some advice that I found and added <baseAddressPrefixFilters> to my web.config file. I uploaded this change to the hosting, and now I get the a 404 on the service file!

Please help... I'm totally mystified here.

 

Here is some of the code.

web.config

Code:

(system.service model section only, for brevity)

  <system.serviceModel>
        <serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true">
            <baseAddressPrefixFilters>
                <add prefix="http://www.geonixlocate.com"/>
            </baseAddressPrefixFilters>
        </serviceHostingEnvironment>
        <services>
            <service name="RemoteAPI.Remote">
                <endpoint address="" binding="webHttpBinding" bindingName="web" contract="RemoteAPI.Remote" />
            </service>
        </services>
        <bindings>
            <webHttpBinding>
                <binding name="web" />
            </webHttpBinding>
        </bindings>
        <behaviors>
            <endpointBehaviors>
                <behavior name="WebBehavior">
                    <webHttp/>
                </behavior>
            </endpointBehaviors>
        </behaviors>
    </system.serviceModel>

~/Remote.svc

Code:

<%@ ServiceHost Language="C#" Debug="true" Service="RemoteAPI.Remote" Factory="RemoteAPI.AppServiceHostFactory" CodeBehind="~/App_Code/Services/Remote/Remote.cs" %>

using System;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.ServiceModel.Activation;
using Microsoft.ServiceModel.Web;

namespace RemoteAPI 
{
  class AppServiceHostFactory : ServiceHostFactory
  {
    protected override ServiceHost CreateServiceHost(Type serviceType, Uri[] baseAddresses)
    {
        WebServiceHost2 result = new WebServiceHost2(serviceType, true, baseAddresses);
        result.Interceptors.Add(new CredentialsVerifyingRequestInterceptor());
        return result;                
    }
  }
}

 

One more part. I've simplified this a bit but it should show the basics.

~/App_code/Services/Remote/Remote.cs

Code:

using System.ServiceModel.Web;
using System.ServiceModel.Activation;
using System.ServiceModel.Syndication;
using Microsoft.ServiceModel.Web;
using System.Globalization;
using System.Net;
using System.IO;
using System.Security;
using System.Reflection;
using System.Web.Security;

[assembly: ContractNamespace("", ClrNamespace = "RemoteAPI")]

namespace RemoteAPI
{

    [ServiceBehavior(IncludeExceptionDetailInFaults = true, InstanceContextMode = InstanceContextMode.Single, ConcurrencyMode = ConcurrencyMode.Single)]
    [AspNetCompatibilityRequirements(RequirementsMode = AspNetCompatibilityRequirementsMode.Allowed)]
    [ServiceContract]
    public partial class Remote
    {
        [WebHelp(Comment = "Read information about a site user.")]
        [WebGet(UriTemplate = "users/{user}")]
        [OperationContract]
        public User GetUser(string user)
        {
            SiteUser su = UserManager.GetUser(user);
            return new User(su);
        }

    }
}
