WCF facility : Metadata publishing for this service is currently disabled

I asked this before and got no where so i'm asking again as i'm now desperate!!

Hey

if i create a new wcf project i can browse the meta instantly.

if I try - when using the WCF facility - i get the following:

Metadata publishing for this service is currently disabled.

i followed the instructions there and in a million other places and get no where.

if i copy the contents of my faciltity service into the newly created project it complains that aspNetCompatibilityEnabled isnt enabled.

so i enable it and then mex is disabled again and i get: Metadata publishing for this service is currently disabled.

again!!

this is driving me crazy - i have tried tried tried to follow every example on the web!!

here is my current configuration - there is no client yet:

<system.serviceModel>
    <serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" />
        <services>
            <service name="IbzStar.WebServices.UserServices" behaviorConfiguration="ServiceBehavior">
                <!-- Service Endpoints -->
                <endpoint address="" binding="wsHttpBinding" contract="IbzStar.WebServices.IUserServices">
                    <!-- 
              Upon deployment, the following identity element should be removed or replaced to reflect the

                    <identity>
                        <dns value="localhost"/>
                    </identity>
                </endpoint>
                <endpoint address="mex" binding="mexHttpBinding" contract="IMetadataExchange"/>
            </service>
        </services>
        <behaviors>
            <serviceBehaviors>
                <behavior name="ServiceBehavior">
                    <!-- To avoid disclosing metadata information, set the value below to false and remove the metadata endpoint above before deployment -->
                    <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true"/>
                    <!-- To receive exception details in faults for debugging purposes, set the value below to true.  Set to false before deployment to avoid disclosing exception information -->
                    <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false"/>
                </behavior>
            </serviceBehaviors>
        </behaviors>
    </system.serviceModel>

please someone help me out before my laptop gets launched into orbit!!

Yes, you need to make sure that service name, interface and config definitions are defined correctly. check for mis-match in names etc. Better to define configuration from scratch rather than identifying mistakes.
