Could not find a base address error in WCF

Hi,

I am really new to WCF and I tried to build custom host application.
However, I am getting "An unhandled exception of type 'System.InvalidOperationException' occurred in System.ServiceModel.dll.
Could not find a base address that matches scheme http for the endpoint with binding BasicHttpBinding. Registered base address schemes are[]."
This is my service side of code.
    [DataContract]
    public class Eval
    {
        [DataMember]
        public string Submitter;
        [DataMember]
        public DateTime Timesent;
        [DataMember]
        public string Comments;

    }

    [ServiceContract]
    public interface IEvalService 
    {
        [OperationContract]
        void SubmitEval(Eval eval);
        [OperationContract]
        List<Eval> GetEvals();
    }
    [ServiceBehavior(InstanceContextMode = InstanceContextMode.Single)]
    public class EvalService : IEvalService
    {
        List<Eval> evals = new List<Eval>();
        public void SubmitEval(Eval eval)
        {
            evals.Add(eval);
        }

        public List<Eval> GetEvals()
        {
            return evals;
        }
    }

My ConsoleHost program has the following code.
namespace ConsoleHost
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            ServiceHost host = new ServiceHost(typeof(EvalService));
            host.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(IEvalService), 
                new BasicHttpBinding(),
                "http//localhost:8/evals/basic");
            host.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(IEvalService),
                new WSHttpBinding(),
                "http//localhost:8080/evals/ws");
            host.AddServiceEndpoint(typeof(IEvalService),
                new NetTcpBinding(),
                "net.tcp//localhost:8081/evals");
            try
            {
                host.Open();
                Console.Read();
                host.Close();
            }
            catch (Exception e)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(e);
                host.Abort();
            }
        }
    }
