I've got a simple WCF service that works great on localhost - consumed by another local website and is returning data.
Now I upload my service to our host, changing the appropriate addresses in the web.config, and it breaks when the client calls it.
Error:
The Address property on ChannelFactory.Endpoint was null. The ChannelFactory's Endpoint must have a valid Address specified.
I've read several other posts and I believe I've done pretty much all there was to do - setting the bindings, etc.
Below is my web.config for my wcf service (hosted through SSL):
<?xml version="1.0"?>

I added the address attribute and am now getting the following error:

Well, the error message really says it all:
Every binding must have at least one binding element that derives from TransportBindingElement.
The custom binding you defined only has a textMessageEncoding element - that's only half the story! As the error say - you must also add a transport element to it:
<customBinding>
<binding name="WebHttpBinding_IService">
<textMessageEncoding maxReadPoolSize="64" maxWritePoolSize="16"
messageVersion="Soap12" writeEncoding="utf-8">
<readerQuotas maxDepth="32" maxStringContentLength="8192"
maxArrayLength="16384" maxBytesPerRead="4096"
maxNameTableCharCount="16384" />
</textMessageEncoding>
<httpTransport />
</binding>
</customBinding>
See the new <httpTransport/> element? I'm never sure whether it needs to be first before the encoding, or after it - try it out, one of the two situations will work :-)
If you're hosting with SSL, you might need to use <httpsTransport /> instead.
Now, your custom binding should be complete to use.
Additionally, however - on your server side, you only have a "webHttpBinding" endpoint - but on the client, you are trying to connect to an endpoint that has "customBinding" enabled..... you need to make up your mind - those things need to match between server and client! On the server side, define the same endpoint you want to try to connect to from the client - otherwise it'll never work....
Also, since you're hosting in IIS, this setting of a base address is totally useless and won't do anything - just strip it out!
<service name="Service" behaviorConfiguration="ServiceBehavior">
<host>
<baseAddresses>
<add baseAddress="https://myserverssl.com/Service.svc"/>
</baseAddresses>
</host>
...
The address of the service is always determine by server name (or IP), name of the virtual directory and the svc file inside that virtual directory - you cannot change that, you cannot modify that, you cannot influence that.
I'm pretty sure that Endpoint address shouldn't be a full address, it's relative to the Foobar.svc file (so, usually '/'). I haven't ever had to put the fully qualified URL into my web.config.
