Freedom Service Connection error

SUGGESTED


Hi all !

Apologies if this has been answered before but I can't find any solution on the support groups even though some users had similar errors.
I'm trying to get the Freedom Service installed so that I can access the REST API service calls

I downloaded the Freedom Service Setup guide and followed the steps.

The Evolution Freedom Service is running under services.msc and if I go to http://localhost:5000/freedom.core/registration/rest/help, I get a response (see image below)



However, within Sage Evolution, If I go to the System Configuration Wizard, Services, Click Auto Locate and then click Finish,
I get the following error: (Unable to connect using the connection string provided)




What I've noticed also is that in the API Guide, the Database name seems to be added to the Freedom Service.(e.g. Freedom V9 Database). When I click 'Auto Locate' I am just given MYPCNAME:5000/.../ and no database afterwards ? 

Could you provide any answers please ? My firewall allows port 5000 as an exception and my antivirus is disabled

Thanks
