wcf: Error opening URL 'local:////star5/schema//STARTransport2005.wsdl'

I have created a wcf service consuming wsdl file. The wcf is secured with certificates which i have configured in web.config. The service have two methods one for pull and other to put. When I do a request using pull method it works but when i try to use put method i get the following error:
Error opening URL 'local:////star5/schema//STARTransport2005.wsdl'
Here is the configuration file(web.config)

I have finally resolved the issue. The issue was i was missing the version number for service being called within the header of the request. When i gave the version number the error went away. This was quite a crazy error it was not pointing to the reason the error was coming. For those facing such an error, It merely occurs if you are missing something within the header of the request.

WCF CommunicationException

I am using WCF service in a web application. Two services are and one method which returns string is there in first and returns a DataTable in second
First one is working properly while i am calling through the service.
But while calling second one i get the following exception
Here is the config in server

Try following.
1 - Use SvcTraceViewer utility to trace the cause of the issue.
2 - Give some name to the datatable that you are returning from WCF like this.
new DataTable("someName");
WCF: DataTable was not initialized with a name. Note sure why..

I tried using the following code. Now its working fine
DataTable dt = new DataTable("products");
dt= getData();
DataSet ds = new DataSet();
ds.Tables.Add(dt);
return ds.Tables[0];
I got this ans from Jani5e

WCF Service with large parameters

I've looked at a number of similar topics on SO, but haven't found one that helps with this.
Have a WCF service that takes in XML to process. The XML file I'm reading from is ~600K.
The call works for small xml files (most of the time), but on the larger files I get the error:
System.ServiceModel.Security.MessageSecurityException:
An unsecured or incorrectly secured fault was received from the other party. See the inner FaultException for the fault code and detail.
where the inner exception is:
System.ServiceModel.FaultException:
The message could not be processed. This is most likely because the action 'http://tempuri.org/ISapListener/ProcessSapRoles' is incorrect or because the message contains an invalid or expired security context token or because there is a mismatch between bindings. The security context token would be invalid if the service aborted the channel due to inactivity. To prevent the service from aborting idle sessions prematurely increase the Receive timeout on the service endpoint's binding.
Like I say... it works for small files, and my open, send, receive, close, and inactivity timeouts are all set to 10 minutes. It fails in about 20-30 seconds.
Also, the clock on the server and client are perfectly in sync (I've seen that posted as an answer).
My config files as they currently stand (I've played with a lot of settings):

I do have tracing enabled on the service, but I can't make sense out of the log files.
Other exceptions I've received while playing with the config settings:
System.ServiceModel.Security.SecurityNegotiationException
Secure channel cannot be opened because security negotiation with the remote endpoint has failed.
and
System.ServiceModel.ServiceActivationException
The requested service, 'http://../SapListener.svc' could not be activated.

If you think being able to make sense out of log files will help here, use svcTraceViewer. Just make sure you've actually set up tracing correctly. I have an article on my blog about this.
svcTraveViewer Debugging WCF Services
As regards large payloads, you may want to take a look at this MSDN article.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms733742.aspx
In particular Streaming Data.

System.ServiceModel.ServiceActivationException
The requested service, 'http://../SapListener.svc' could not be activated.
This could be a compilation error ou invalid configuration.
Is it WCF 4.0? Then you could remove your custom configuration and use automatic bindings. I also suggest you to try a binding other than wsHttpBinding, like basicHttpBinding.

I was able to get this to work with the following configuration:
Server:
<bindings>
<wsHttpBinding>
<binding name="wsHttpBinding_Custom"
closeTimeout="00:10:00"
openTimeout="00:10:00"

maxReceivedMessageSize="2097152"
bypassProxyOnLocal="false" transactionFlow="false"
hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"
maxBufferPoolSize="2097152" messageEncoding="Text"
textEncoding="utf-8" useDefaultWebProxy="true" allowCookies="false">
<readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxBytesPerRead="4096"
maxNameTableCharCount="16384" />
<reliableSession ordered="true" inactivityTimeout="00:10:00" enabled="false" />
<security mode="Message">
<transport clientCredentialType="Windows" proxyCredentialType="None"
realm="" />
<message clientCredentialType="Windows" negotiateServiceCredential="true"
algorithmSuite="Default" />
</security>
</binding>
</wsHttpBinding>
</bindings>
Client:
<bindings>
<wsHttpBinding>
<binding name="WSHttpBinding_ISapListener1" closeTimeout="00:10:00"
openTimeout="00:10:00" receiveTimeout="00:10:00" sendTimeout="00:10:00"
bypassProxyOnLocal="false" transactionFlow="false"
hostNameComparisonMode="StrongWildcard"
maxBufferPoolSize="2097152"
maxReceivedMessageSize="2097152"
messageEncoding="Text" textEncoding="utf-8" useDefaultWebProxy="true"
allowCookies="false">
<readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxBytesPerRead="4096"

<security mode="Message">

realm="" />
<message clientCredentialType="Windows" negotiateServiceCredential="true"
algorithmSuite="Default" />
</security>
</binding>
</wsHttpBinding>
</bindings>
The only difference I can see is that I bumped up the maxReceivedMessageSize and maxBufferPoolSize... maybe I'm missing something else? If that was the issue, then the problem was that my overhead for the call was adding an additional 400+K to the 600K xml data I was sending

If possible and acceptable to client, you can break down the file into smaller chunks and send across, provided you don't have digital certificate etc and sorting options at client side.

As you can see parameters of binding are not the same
Any ideas ?

Binding parameters such as the buffer size do not automatically propagate from server to client when you create a service reference. You will have to adjust hem manually on the client side as well.
Was that the question? It's a little unclear to me what the problem is exactly.

I think Thorarin is right, some information can't be propagated to client from server.

In order to use the customized binding you need to specify bindingConfiguration attribute on the client and server side. Like this:
Server side:
<endpoint address=""
binding="wsHttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="WSHttpBinding_Config"
contract="AdminCentral.Business.Web.ICommandInvoker">
<identity>
<dns value="localhost" />
</identity>
</endpoint>
Client side:
<endpoint address="!!__!_server_address_!__!!"
binding="wsHttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="WSHttpBinding_Config"
contract="AdminCentral.Business.Web.ICommandInvoker">
</endpoint>
