I am having a WCF ServiceLibrary which runs successfully on WCF Test Client.
Now I am trying to build a Website to Host this web service. I am using nettcp binding. My web.config file looks like this
<system.web>
<compilation debug="false" targetFramework="4.0" />
</system.web>
<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
<netTcpBinding>
<binding name="tcp_Unsecured" portSharingEnabled="true">

<endpoint address="mextcp" binding="mexTcpBinding" name="metadata"
contract="IMetadataExchange" />
<host>
<baseAddresses>
<add baseAddress="net.tcp://localhost:8080/MarketFeedSite/MarketFeedService.svc" />

</serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
</system.serviceModel>
<system.webServer>
<modules runAllManagedModulesForAllRequests="true"/>
</system.webServer>
I am try to view in browser directly from Solution Explorer
But I get error as shown below
Could not find a base address that matches scheme net.tcp for the endpoint with binding NetTcpBinding. Registered base address schemes are [http].
I have tried all the solutions available on SO, youtube etc but no luck,
I tried:
Under IIS I have enabled http,net.tcp protocols
I have also gone through: How to: Install and Configure WCF Activation Components
N.B. I am a WPF App Developer, hence WCF and ASP.NET Website are new to me.
Thank You.
Edit: Testing Under WCF Client gives following error

I have a sweet WinForm application (on my computer) and a SQL Server database (on server X). I'm using SqlConnection and everything works fine.
But not I want to change it and use WCF or other technologies to connect and switch information between my app and database.
I also have one more server to use as application server (Server Y).
I've started using WCF: created project, created installer.
Uploaded it on my Y server and installed it. Service started, also I've added Service Reference to my WinForm app, but the ServiceClient is not working properly.
When I call ServiceClient's method it throws exception:
An exception of type 'System.ServiceModel.EndpointNotFoundException' occurred in mscorlib.dll but was not handled in user code
Additional information: There was no endpoint listening at http://localhost:41272/service that could accept the message. This is often caused by an incorrect address or SOAP action. See InnerException, if present, for more details.
As I guess my endpoint is blowing things up.
So I want you guys help me how to configure SQL endpoint.
Here is my WCF's web.config:
<?xml version="1.0"?>

This error is not related with SQL endpoint. In facts you do not need endpoints for connecting WCF to database. Here is your answer in another post.
EndpointNotFoundException - 404 - Hosting WCF Service over HTTPS in IIS through Visual Studio
You have two options, if the service has been modified from when you created it you can simply right click on the service reference and configure the service reference. In the popup you can change the Url to point to serverX and you service reference and config file will be automatically updated.
If no changes were made to the service, for example your binding type or security then simply updating the Url in the config file should be enough.

I don't have set proxy on my mobile device.
You're using HttpBinding so some type of webserver is running on your box allowing the WCF hosting to work locally. So that's Cassini or IIS Express. Neither allows for remote connections without a bit of tweaking. Here's link of how to do that for IIS Express http://johan.driessen.se/posts/Accessing-an-IIS-Express-site-from-a-remote-computer but it's a bit tedious though possible. I don't know if it's possible to allow Cassini to have remote connections.
I have this App.config in my wcf service library:

but I got error:
"The Address property on ChannelFactory.Endpoint was null. The ChannelFactory's Endpoint must have a valid Address specified."
It seems like application doesn't this tcp.net endpoint. Why?
I have this App.config in my wcf service library
You cannot have an app.config in a wcf class library and expect WCF to read settings from it. It doesn't make sense. Config files such as app.config are defined in the final executable application project (such as a Console application, WinForms, WPF, ...). Or if it is a web application you use a web.config. But there is not such thing as app.config for a class library. So you might need to include this WCF configuration in the app/web.config of the application using your class library.
You have specified a base address for net.tcp, so the address on the net.tcp endpoint becomes a relative address. So, effectively the address of the end point becomes net.tcp://localhost:22222/AdministrationService/localhost/AdministrationService/.
Change the address on the endpoint to a relative address and re-generate the proxy class using svcutil.
I just noticed that svcutil generates bad endpoint in wcf client project. There's
<endpoint binding="basicHttpBinding"
bindingConfiguration="DefaultBinding_IAdministration"
contract="IAdministration"
name="DefaultBinding_IAdministration_IAdministration" />"
instead of my net.tcp endpoint.
I also observed that's because of generation of ProxyFile.cs and App.config from
svcutil WcfServiceLibrary.dll
If I generate this files from metadata like:
svcutil net.tcp://localhost:8080/AdministrationService/mex /language:C# /out:ProxyFile.cs /config:App.config
then it works fine (in App config is described correct net.tcp endpoint)
Does anyone knows why cooperation svcutil with *.dll goes wrong?
I'm developing a WCF Service with a custom UserNamePasswordValidatorwith a basicHttpBinding. This configuration, however, works only on HTTPS binding. Since Visual Studio 2010's built in web server does not support https, how can I test my custom validator? I keep getting Could not find a base address that matches scheme https for the endpoint with binding BasicHttpBinding. Registered base address schemes are [http]. error and, if I set the clientCredentialType to none, the error is gone, but the validator does not get called.
Below is my configuration.

Use IIS for this testing.
Open your project properties, go to the Web tab, hit Use local IIS radio button. This manual is valid for VS2010 too: Using Visual Studio 2008 with IIS 7
If IIS is not installed yet, install it first: How to install IIS.
You need to have Windows edition higher than Windows Home.
You will also need to create a self-signed certificate for your web site. This is easy to do in IIS 7: Self-Signed Certificates on IIS 7 – the Easy Way and the Most Effective Way
You cannot test such WCF service in Cassine (built-in web server in VS 2010). You must use local IIS or install VS 2010 SP1 and download IIS Express which is lightweight web server for development (can replace Cassini in VS and supports HTTPS with self signed certificates). IIS Express doesn't need any specific Windows edition and it works on all versions since Windows XP but it provides same features as IIS 7.5.
I've written created a WCF service inside a Windows service, and for some reason I can't figure out, I deployed the service on a bunch of systems (all nearly identical in OS and configuration), and it works on all but one server. The configuration for all deployments is identical except for the service's base address.
When the service is started, I get no exception when I open the ServiceHost, and when using netstat -anp I can see the socket has been opened by the service's process. I've set up Windows firewall logging for dropped packets, but the log file remains empty.
If I try accessing the WCF service from WCF Test Client, I get the following message:
Error: Cannot obtain Metadata from net.tcp://myhostname:9001/SysMonitorAgent
If this is a Windows (R) Communication Foundation service to which you have access, please check that you have enabled metadata publishing at the specified address. For help enabling metadata publishing, please refer to the MSDN documentation at http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=65455.

I'm kinda lost, because there is NO indication whatsoever as to why it's not working. Any help would be appreciated.
On the server you are deploying too is something running on port 9100?
It seems like it can not find the service. Have you tried changing the base address?
Typical if you deploy it on serval systems and it doesn't work on one it is configuration of the machine. I would check
.NET Versions
Make sure no Firewalls are set up on this machine preventing the binding
Check the port you are binding is open in this case 9100
Make sure any 3rd party .dll are included in the GAC or folder if needed.
Verify all the .dll and your code is up to date.
I see the error message says "net.tcp://myhostname:9001/SysMonitorAgent "
Did you try to replace it with the machine IP Address rather than using the host name?
In addition to David's points, check that the windows service is running.
Any errors in the Event log?
