Any Windows Azure experts here?

I'm trying to get a local IIS WCF service to listen on the Azure service bus and it ain't happening.

Stackoverflow and google aren't helping.

Our network is setup to correctly allow the service to be called from the outside world as I have proved this by hosting the service in a console app. I just can't get it working hosted in IIS

and yes, yes, M$ and IIS suck etc.

Been using Azure a lot recently.

Send over your service code/config and I'll have a play.

Could it simply be a firewall issue? Can you talk to the service bus from that machine?

I have verified the firewall ports are all fine.

I can self host the WCF service, first in a console app, like the msdn examples, and now I've upgraded that to a Windows Service which will be more robust.

When done like this, my service end point shows up in the Service Bus directory list and can be called and returns data just fine.

So... communication is not a problem (unless there is something extra that needs to be done for IIS??)

I am guessing it's the Auto start stuff you need to do in IIS. I've followed all the samples and it seems like it should be straightforward.

Auto start on the service, Start immediately and integrated pipeline on the app pool, using net.pipe in the enabled protocols for the site

It's doing me head in, but hopefully we should be able to live with the Windows Service version.

Here is an anonymised version of my web.config for the IIS version.

I remember this happening to me. And you are right, its about the service not started yet because it has not yet received any request. And you cant issue any request if the service hasnt started yet.

The way I got around that was to create a host and make it listen using a worker role. I have the source somewhere if I can find it.

I'm not sure that's the answer as I read it as it being a local machine trying to talk to the service bus rather than an Azure machine.

to be honest after my last attempt to use Azure I'm much happier using AWS for the moment.

Cheers. Don't worry about looking for the code.

I have it working hosted in a Windows Service which I can live with.

Actually, I'm not sure what the best practice is, is there any reason why I should keep going to try and get it hosted in IIS?
