WCF Web Config with Multiple SVC

IIf I have multiple WCF services set up in a project like so:
ServiceA.svc
IServiceA.cs
ServiceB.svc
IServiceB.cs
And my web config has the following:
<services>
<service name="Services.ServiceA">
<endpoint address="basic" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration=""
contract="Services.IServiceA" />
<endpoint address="upload" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="ImageUploadServiceBinding"
name="" bindingName="ImageUploadServiceBinding" contract="Services.IServiceB" />
</service>
</services>
Is that wrong? I ask because I have seen multiple ways of setting up WCF services when you have 'multiple' services and everyone seems to do it a different way. If I have multiple svc files in my project (multiple services), is it OK to group them into one "service" in the web.config and then separate them via endpoints like I have done above?
This will be hosted in IIS, btw.

I don't see why this would be a problem technically. WCF is built for this. You should keep in mind the deployment issues you could face.
Now, since it is one service, you can't just replace service A without replacing service B. This is okay if there are tightly coupled and share the exact same dependencies. If not, split them for maintainability.

Hosting WCF on IIS - EndpointNotFoundException

After implemeting a WCF service, hosting it on the IIS Server, it returned with the below error.
EndpointNotFoundException was unhandled by user code There was no
endpoint listening at XXXXX that could accept the message. This is
often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See
InnerException, if present, for more details.
That service is identically has the same implementation and configuration of 5 running services with no errors.
when I tried to figure out what is going on the IIS server, the below screenshot.
So it seems that this specific service has no detected Contract. although I'm using the same configuration as below.
<service name="XX.XX.Provisioning.EldaftarManagementService">
<endpoint address="" binding="customBinding" bindingConfiguration="ProvisioningServiceBinding" bindingNamespace="http://XX.XX.com/XX/" contract="XX.XX.Provisioning.Eldaftar.IEldaftarManagementService" />
<endpoint address="basic" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="ProvisioningBasicBinding" bindingNamespace="http://XX.XX.com/provisioning/" contract="XX.XX.Provisioning.Eldaftar.IEldaftarManagementService" />
</service>
<service name="XX.XX.Provisioning.Common.UserManagement.UserManagementService">
<endpoint address="" binding="customBinding" bindingConfiguration="ProvisioningServiceBinding" bindingNamespace="http://XX.XX.com/XX/" contract="XX.XX.Provisioning.Common.UserManagement.IUserManagementService" />
<endpoint address="basic" binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="ProvisioningBasicBinding" bindingNamespace="http://XX.XX.com/provisioning/" contract="XX.XX.Provisioning.Common.UserManagement.IUserManagementService" />
</service>
Kindly noted that when accessing the service.svc url it replies normally and the wsdl is shown. So that means it's hosted fine on the IIS.
Do I miss something?
Update:
Client config.
<endpoint address="https://XXX/EldaftarManagementService.svc" behaviorConfiguration="ProvisioningClientBehaviour" binding="customBinding" bindingConfiguration="ProvisioningServiceBinding" contract="EldaftarManagementService.IEldaftarManagementService" />
<endpoint address="https://XXX/UserManagement.svc" behaviorConfiguration="ProvisioningClientBehaviour" binding="customBinding" bindingConfiguration="ProvisioningServiceBinding" contract="UserManagementService.IUserManagementService" />

i notice sometime after reconfigure my service reference, the client config getting wsdl with server name. then i get EndpointNotFoundException exception.
example :
service reference is : http://192.168.61.2:1111/Service1.svc
but in the config endpoint address it show : http://serverName:1111/Service1.svc
After i change the config endpoint address with the service reference address , then it resolved. Not sure why but now every time when i reconfigure the endpoint address, i will manually change the config endpoint address to make sure it get the same address.

Failed to invoke the service. Possible causes: The service is offline or inaccessible while Invoking

I have my service configured as below:
<system.serviceModel>
<services>
<service name="WcfService1.Service1" behaviorConfiguration="MyServiceTypeBehaviors">
<host>
<baseAddresses>
<add baseAddress="net.tcp://127.0.0.1:808/service" />
</baseAddresses>
</host>
<endpoint address="net.tcp://127.0.0.1:808/service/"
binding="netTcpBinding"
contract="WcfService1.IService1"/>
<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexTcpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
</service>
</services>
<protocolMapping>
<add scheme="net.tcp" binding="netTcpBinding"/>
</protocolMapping>
<behaviors>
<serviceBehaviors>
<behavior name="MyServiceTypeBehaviors">
<serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
</behavior>
</serviceBehaviors>
<endpointBehaviors>
<behavior name="MyEndpointBehaviour">
<webHttp/>
</behavior>
</endpointBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
</system.serviceModel>
and the client as:
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<netTcpBinding>
<binding name="NetTcpBinding_IService1" sendTimeout="00:05:00" />
</netTcpBinding>
</bindings>
<client>
<endpoint address="net.tcp://127.0.0.1/service/" binding="netTcpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="NetTcpBinding_IService1" contract="IService1"
name="NetTcpBinding_IService1">
<identity>
<servicePrincipalName value="host/MachineName" />
</identity>
</endpoint>
</client>
</system.serviceModel>
When using WCFTestClient or SVCutil, I am able to discover and access the servie and generate proxy or stubs.
But when I want to invoke any of the methods getting following error:
Failed to invoke the service. Possible causes: The service is offline or inaccessible; the client-side configuration does not match the proxy; the existing proxy is invalid. Refer to the stack trace for more detail. You can try to recover by starting a new proxy, restoring to default configuration, or refreshing the service.
The socket connection was aborted. This could be caused by an error processing your message or a receive timeout being exceeded by the remote host, or an underlying network resource issue. Local socket timeout was '00:04:59.9980468'.

Set the following value inside the endpoint block
<identity>
<dns value ="localhost"/>
</identity>

Maybe not the answer you are looking for, but for development on the local machine I always use an HTTP endpoint. I find Net.TCP will only play nice when it is hosted on a server in IIS.
It is easy enough to add the NET.TCP endpoints once you deploy to an IIS server. Note: that the base address no longer has any affect as that is set in IIS. To test the new endpoints it is best to start by opening the service in a browser while remoted into the server, that way you get the best error messages.
If i understand correctly you are trying to select the endpoint when creating the service reference? Thats now how it works.
If you create your service reference using 127.0.0.1/service/Service1.svc
You should see in your config file something like the following. (When I create my service endpoints I always name them with the protocol as a suffix.
<endpoint address="http://servername:8090/servername/servername.svc/Business"
binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BusinessHTTP"
contract="servername.IService" name="BusinessHTTP" />
<endpoint address="net.tcp://servername:8030/Service/Service.svc/Business"
binding="netTcpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BusinessTCP"
contract="servername.IService" name="BusinessTCP" />
then in your code you can choose which endpoint to use.
Dim svc as New SeviceReferenceName.BusinessClient("BusinessTCP")"

I have faced the same issue. It was the issue of port address of EndpointAddress. In Visual studio port address of your file (e.g. Service1.svc) and port address of your wcf project must be the same which you gives into EndpointAddress. Let me describe you this solution in detail which worked for me.
There are two steps to check the port addresses.
In your WCF Project right click to your Service file (e.g. Service1.svc) -> than select View in browser now in your browser you have url like http://localhost:61122/Service1.svc so now note down your port address as a 61122
Right click your wcf project -> than select Properties -> go to the Web Tab -> Now in Servers section -> select Use Visual Studio Development Server -> select Specific Port and give the port address which we have earlier find from our Service1.svc service. That is (61122).
Earlier, I had a different port address. After specifying the port address properly, which I got from the first step, EndpointAddress 61122, my problem was solved.
I hope this might be solved your issue.

NetTcp binding is secured by default.In the security authentication process between client and service,WCF ensures that the identity of service matches the values of this element. Therefore service need to be configured with :
<identity>
<dns value ="localhost"/>
</identity>

List wcf service addresses when no address or baseaddress is specified in the web config

How do I get all the wcf 4.0 service addresses from each project in the Visual Studio solution when the services section endpoints in the web configs don’t specify an address or baseaddress? I intend to write the list of service addresses out to an aspx page. Any help would be appreciated.
Here's an example of one of the service sections in the web config.
<services>
<service name="ABC.Enterprise.Flight.FlightService">
<endpoint address="" binding="basicHttpBinding" name="ICRMManagement" contract="ABC.Enterprise.Flight.IFlightService"/>
<endpoint address="MexBasic" binding="mexHttpBinding" name="MexBasic" contract="IMetadataExchange" />
</service>

You could use WCF Discovery to find endpoints at runtime...

Why do I have to add a reference to URL/service.svc but then it creates a binding for URL/service.svc/soap?

I am connecting a solution to a WCF SOAP based web service. The URL is in the format:
http://upload.pete.vls.com/api/hmlapi.svc
However when I add the reference the configuration comes up with the following:
<client>
<endpoint address="http://upload.pete.vls.com/api/HmlApi.svc/soap"
binding="basicHttpBinding" bindingConfiguration="BasicHttpBinding_IHmlApi"
contract="ServiceReference1.IHmlApi" name="BasicHttpBinding_IHmlApi" />
</client>
Im confused as to why when I add the reference with /soap/ on the end it doesnt work. But when I dont add it, the 'add reference' feature finds the service and adds it with a /soap/ anyway.

The URL you are entering (without the soap part) includes information on what types of service transport are offered. VS is choosing soap from that, and saving the proper endpoint address in the config.
That end URL would not be correct for what is being asked for when you are prompted, though. Because it's expecting a URL with information on the service - not the actual endpoint that will eventually get used.

Because your endpoint on the server is probably configured like that
<services>
<service name="YourService">
<endpoint name="mySOAPEndpoint" address="soap" binding="someHttpBinding" contract="IYourService" />
</service>
</services>
Note that the address is "soap" which is the relative path after your service URI (i.e. after the .svc). If you write address="" then your .svc URI is the same as your endpoint address.
