Your probabily using a REST webservice configured to use HTTP methods. WCF Test client is a SOAP client and needs access to the webservice metadata to work.

Add the metadata configuration entry to your webservice configuration: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms788760.aspx

In the configuration you posted you have two webservices configured. You should enable the metadata on the current webservice, not configure another webservice:

<system.serviceModel>
<behaviors>
  <endpointBehaviors>
    <behavior name="webHttpBehavior" >
      <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="True" policyVersion="Policy15" />
      <webHttp />
    </behavior>
  </endpointBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<bindings>
  <webHttpBinding>
    <binding name="webHttpBindingWithJsonP" crossDomainScriptAccessEnabled="true" />
  </webHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<services>
  <service name="WcfService6.Service1">
    <endpoint address="" binding="webHttpBinding"
              bindingConfiguration="webHttpBindingWithJsonP" contract="WcfService6.IService1"
              behaviorConfiguration="webHttpBehavior"/>
      <endpoint contract="IMetadataExchange" binding="mexHttpBinding" address="mex" />
  </service>
</services>

Please read this: WCF REST Service not visible in WCFTestClient

you have to enable MetaData exchange for the service, using the config file, this will be under ServiceBehavior

<behaviors>
  <serviceBehaviors>
    <behavior name="SimpleServiceBehavior">
      <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="True" policyVersion="Policy15" />
    </behavior>
  </serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
