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

If you ran into this error while starting the service on Windows Service, you can check the account on your process installer.

[RunInstaller(true)]
public class ProjectInstaller : Installer
{
    private ServiceProcessInstaller process;
    private ServiceInstaller service;

    public ProjectInstaller()
    {
        process = new ServiceProcessInstaller();
        process.Account = ServiceAccount.LocalSystem;
        service = new ServiceInstaller();
        service.ServiceName = "WCFWindowsServiceSample";
        Installers.Add(process);
        Installers.Add(service);
    }
}
