can't create hosting WCF under IIS7 asp.net4.0 windows web server 2008
I am just testing out WCF and want to run the service from my web server. I have created an application pool, copied the vs2010 (vb) solution to the server, added a new web site which points to the WCF service solution, but I cannot get it to work
this a hosted web server and I'm not sure hwo this web site will work vs my live web site.
I'm sure this is something to do with how the IIS is configured or maybe an endpoint type of issue. I have just used the very basic wcf example loaded with vs2010.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Sorry my image didn't display the error message that I get when I do that - This web site cannot be started. Another Web site may be using the same port.
Hi,
Seems to me you are using same name binding with other website or using same IP on other website. Do the following steps and it should work fine for you.
* Right click on website -> Edit Bindings
* Remove all the bindings if you set here
* click on Add
* Select IP
* Enter host name -> domain.com
* Again click on Add -> Enter host name -> www.domain.com
(The above process is used to share IP with multiple websites)
* Now do the following entries in windows host file (Because I am able to see that you are using temporary website name):
xx.xx.xx.xx domain.com
xx.xx.xx.xx www.domain.com
If you have DNS then you can setup these website A record in your DNS file.
* If you want to assign dedicated IP then you have to check other websites for same IP binding is there or not.

tanujchanda,
thanks for your comments. It got me thinking about how it was structured.
I've managed to get it working. What I had to do was make the services web site subordinate to my main web site, point to the physical path and set up the virtual address and it worked. Hopefully that is it. I could get to the service from a rul http://www.trilobyteservices.com/testwcftrilobyte/service1.svc
Thanks for your help
