'Handling URL Binding Failures in IIS Express
I have deployed my WCF webservice locally and its working fine, But in a method I got unexpected result so I decided to debug my webservice in Visual Studio. But I get the following errors. (Even I am running VS with administrative privileges).
I also exposed endpoints in web.config but still not working here is the error from Log file,
Failed to register URL "http://localhost:61241/" for site "TaxiRiderService" application "/". Error description: Access is denied. (0x80070005)

Are you sure, that your're debugging the service with an elevated account? This error is quite common if you're trying to host a service on a non-default port using a standard user.
You could try to register that port to that specific user. Open an elevated command prompt and execute the follwing command:
add urlacl url=http://localhost:61241/TaxiRiderService user=YOURDOMAIN\youruser

The problem came for me after messing with Hyper V Virtual Switch manager. I had the lan card driver uninstalled and reinstalled again. Problem solved at once.

Running visual studio as an administrator solves this issue for me. Sometimes .vs folder also needs to be deleted.
