Answer 1

You did not provide much detail, for example - where you hosted the WCF service before and how . I'm assuming you started with a console app host or something like this before moving the service to IIS?

If so - it depends how much you've changed in your service if anything at all, but generally it should be pretty much the same.

When you hosted the service in a local application you have most likely accessed it using http://localhost:[some port number]/something/somghting.svc

When moving to IIS, if everything is configured, and nothing else changed, the only difference would be the port number, which - presumably - is now 80, and therefore can be emitted, so your new url would be http://localhost/something/somghting.svc
