System.ServiceModel.AddressAccessDeniedException: HTTP could not register URL http::8080

Question

I have created my first self-hosted WCF service. I hosted it in a C# console app but it throws an error:

System.ServiceModel.AddressAccessDeniedException

Answer 1

Start the cmd as Administrator and enter:

netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:8080/MyUri user=DOMAIN\user

this worked for me.
