Simple WCF service throwing 404 not found error

Question

I was just trying to create very simple WCF service that will interact with javascript ajax calls (REST), but its not working for me, seems like I'm lost:

Service Interface

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.ServiceModel.Web;
using System.Text;

namespace Wcf.App
{
    [ServiceContract]
    public interface IService1
    {
        [OperationContract]
        [WebGet(
            UriTemplate = "GetData/{value}", 
            ResponseFormat = WebMessageFormat.Json,
            BodyStyle = WebMessageBodyStyle.WrappedRequest)]
        string getEmpData(string value);
    }
}

Implementation:

using Newtonsoft.Json;
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Data.SqlClient;
using System.Diagnostics;
using System.Linq;
using System.Runtime.Serialization;
using System.ServiceModel;
using System.ServiceModel.Web;
using System.Text;

namespace Wcf.App
{
    public class Clocked
    {
        public string date { get; set; }
        public string type { get; set; }
    }

    public class DATA
    {
        public string firstName { get; set; }
        public string lastName { get; set; }
        public string emailAddress { get; set; }
        public string phoneNum { get; set; }
        public string image { get; set; }
        public string title { get; set; }
        public List<Clocked> clocked { get; set; }
    }

    public class RootObject
    {
        public DATA DATA { get; set; }
    }

    public class Service1 : IService1
    {
        public string getEmpData(string test)
        {
            try
            {
                return " hello " + test;
                }
                catch (Exception ex)
                {
                    return "Can not open connection! " + ex.Message + "  Connection: " + connetionString;
                }
            }
            catch (SqlException e)
            {
                return e.Message;
            }
        }
    }
}

Now when I try to call this service using jQuery AJAX, it throws 404 not found error.

JS:

 $.ajax({
                url: "Service1.svc/GetData/3046722425",
                type: "GET",
                dataType: "json",
                success: function (data) {
                    console.log(data);
                },
                error: function (XMLHttpRequest, textStatus, errorThrown) {
                    alert(textStatus);
                }
            });

Configuration:

<system.serviceModel>
    <serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="false" multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true"/>
    <bindings>
      <customBinding>
        <binding name="basicConfig">

      <webHttpBinding>
        <binding name="basicConfig">
          <security mode="None">
            <transport clientCredentialType="Basic"/>

    <client/>
    <services>
        <service name="Wcf.App.Service1" behaviorConfiguration="ServiceBehaviour">
          <!--<endpoint address="customBinding" binding="customBinding" bindingConfiguration="basicConfig" contract="Wcf.App.IService1"/>-->
          <endpoint address="" binding="webHttpBinding" behaviorConfiguration="REST" contract="Wcf.App.IService1"/>
        </service>
    </services>
    <behaviors>
      <serviceBehaviors>
        <behavior name="ServiceBehaviour">
          <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" httpsGetEnabled="true"/>
          <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true"/>
        </behavior>
        <behavior name="REST">
          <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" httpsGetEnabled="true" />
          <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
        </behavior>
      </serviceBehaviors>
      <endpointBehaviors>
        <behavior name="ServiceBehaviour">
          <webHttp helpEnabled="true" defaultOutgoingResponseFormat="Json"/>
        </behavior>
        <behavior name="REST">
          <webHttp helpEnabled="true" defaultOutgoingResponseFormat="Json"/>
        </behavior>
      </endpointBehaviors>      
    </behaviors>
  </system.serviceModel>

can you hit the url in the browser and see if you get a positive response:? — qamar, Jan 06 '16 at 06:10
Nope, I tried hitting this URL `http://localhost/WCFServices/Service1.svc/GetData/3046722425` but its not working. **returns 404** — Mox Shah, Jan 06 '16 at 06:12

Please make sure you've activated WCF components from here.

HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found" while browsing wcf service on Windows Server 2008(64bit)

Try to hit the service from your browser once(discarding the methodname Getdata and the param value) or add it to the WCFTestClient application.
