Threre is a mismatch between your hosting environnement and the service configuration. This config requires https because of Security/Mex, and only http is available It depends on your context, but you have two options :

  • Create an https binding in IIS

or

  • Change the config of you service to run under http

Remove this line from your config

<endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpsBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange"/>

and change security config to 

   <security mode="None">
