Seeting the default page of the svc-less WCF service

I made a 'Hello World' WCF service. The service doesn't have a svc file. Therefore the web.config file determines its address and other settings.

However, I'm stuck with opening the specific page. When I run the WCF service project, it always shows the error page (HTTP Error 403.14). This is because the browser tries to go to localhost instead of localhost/HelloWorldService.svc.

Do you know how can I solve it?

I want to open the localhost/HelloWorldService.svc when I start running the WCF service in VS 2012.
