WCF host doesn't work on Windows server 2003 using SSL

Question

hi, I have created a WCF simple project by this tutorial:

www.codeproject.com/Articles/36705/7-simple-steps-to-enable-HTTPS-on-WCF-WsHttp-bindi

(first result at google with "simple wcf project ssl")

I tried it on windows 7 .NET Framework 4.0 and everything worked great. (including http:// and https://)

Then I moved the project to a remote host with OP of Windows server 2003 and .NET Framework 3.5

I created a virtual directory, which points to my Service directory, and it created Application inside the Application pool for it automaticly.

using http:// everything worked great. then I checked require SSL and tried to enter with https:// , didnt worked.

I didnt have makecert on the remote host, so I moved the one from Windows 7 to the Windows server 2003 and used it there.

I have created a certification issued by my remote host name to my remote host name, and put it at trusted root certifications. then I used it as a certification to my Default web page in inetmgr.

I have configured httpcfg with these settings:

urlacl: https://1.2.3.4:443/MyService (as 1.2.3.4 is my remote host ip, -I haven't try using to use 127.0.0.1-) with a very wide access list including everyone

iplisten: 1.2.3.4:443

ssl : 1.2.3.4:443 with the certification's thumbprint (no spaces).

I have noticed I have svchost.exe running but w3wp.exe didnt. When I tried to open it manually (with a double-click), it showed in the Event viewer that:

"Error : the worker process failed to initialize the http.sys communication or the w3svc communication layer"

I followed this:

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/896286

but everything was already fine, and yet the error still shows.

at the Virtual's directory log, it shows this:

"w3svc1 127.0.0.1 GET /MyService -po -127.0.0.1 Mozilla/4.0+(compatible;MSIE+6.0;+windows+NT+5.2;+SV1;+.NET+CLR+1.1.14322;+.NET+CLR+2.0.50727;+.NET+CLR+3.0.4506.2152;+.NET+CLR+3.5.30729)"

3 times, with 3 diffrent errors after:

403 4 5

301 0 0

200 0 0

(remember i tried to enter with http:// and https:// few times).

Also, I ran aspnet_Regiis -iru , ServiceModelReg -i , iisreset after.

I tried to create a dummy.html and access it via http:// , worked. via https:// , still same thing.

no idea how to keep going from here. (The error about the worker still shows on the Event viewer, only when i double-click w3wp.exe)
