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

Root path URL (http://+:8080/) permissions are needed in your case:

netsh http add urlacl url=http://+:8080/ user=%USERDOMAIN%\%USERNAME%

show all URL reservations:

netsh http show urlacl | FIND "URL"
