WCF service call returns empty file / page

The problem: When I'm calling my deployed WCF service, the browser downloads an empty svc file and does not show me the page with the service xml file.

The context: I have to move the webapp hosting the WCF service to a new server. This service was working fine on the old server, that was running IIS. The new server has 2 webservers running. IIS 8.5 and WAMP 2.5, because the server hosts an Php app and Jira.

The setup: The WAMP server listens to the 80 port and then redirects to IIS, to a specific port, if needed. This is an example for the setup.

Wamp config (https-vhosts.confg):

<VirtualHost *:80>    
ServerName site.de
ServerAlias www.site.de 
<Proxy *>
    Require all granted
</Proxy>

ProxyRequests           Off
ProxyPreserveHost       On
ProxyPass               /       http://localhost:9050/
ProxyPassReverse        /       http://localhost:9050/

The service URL: https://www.site.de/folder/service.svc

Service config:

<system.serviceModel>
<bindings>
  <basicHttpBinding>
    <binding name="someBinding" maxReceivedMessageSize="2147483647" maxBufferSize="2147483647" maxBufferPoolSize="52428899">
      <readerQuotas maxDepth="64" maxStringContentLength="81920" maxArrayLength="163840" maxBytesPerRead="40960" maxNameTableCharCount="163840" />
      <security mode="Transport">
        <transport clientCredentialType="None" />
      </security>
    </binding>
  </basicHttpBinding>
</bindings>
<behaviors>

  <serviceBehaviors>
    <behavior name="LargeServiceBehavior">
      <serviceMetadata httpsGetEnabled="true" />
      <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="true" />
      <dataContractSerializer maxItemsInObjectGraph="2147483647" />
      <useRequestHeadersForMetadataAddress />
    </behavior>
  </serviceBehaviors>
</behaviors>
<serviceHostingEnvironment multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" />

<services>
  <service name="ExampleServices.ExampleService" behaviorConfiguration="LargeServiceBehavior">
    <endpoint address="http://www.site.de/folder/service.svc" 
    binding="basicHttpBinding"
    bindingConfiguration="someBinding" 
    contract="ExampleServiceModels.IExampleService" />
  </service>
</services>

I have never worked with wamp before. And I don't have much experience with WCF settings also. Any ideas or tips would be highly appreciated.

EDIT Using the wcf test client i get this:

Not sure this answer will help OP after almost 3 years. But it is more intended for @GothamLlianen. But if you want to access a WFC service on a HTTPS connection, you need to specify that binding explicitly.

Add this in the <system.serviceModel> node of the Web.Config

<bindings>
  <webHttpBinding>
    <binding name="HttpsBinding">
      <security mode="Transport">
        <transport clientCredentialType="None"/>
      </security>
    </binding>
  </webHttpBinding>
</bindings>

Then add the name, in this case "HttpsBinding" to the endpoint

<endpoint bindingConfiguration="HttpsBinding"

The complete node below for reference

  <system.serviceModel>
    <services>
      <service behaviorConfiguration="ServiceBehaviour" name="MyProject.Api">
        <endpoint bindingConfiguration="HttpsBinding" address="" behaviorConfiguration="web" binding="webHttpBinding" contract="MyProject.IApi" />
      </service>
    </services>
    <behaviors>
      <serviceBehaviors>
        <behavior name="ServiceBehaviour">
          <serviceMetadata httpGetEnabled="true" httpsGetEnabled="true" />
          <serviceDebug includeExceptionDetailInFaults="false" />
          <serviceAuthorization principalPermissionMode="UseAspNetRoles" />
        </behavior>
      </serviceBehaviors>
      <endpointBehaviors>
        <behavior name="web">
          <webHttp defaultOutgoingResponseFormat="Json" defaultBodyStyle="Bare" />
        </behavior>
      </endpointBehaviors>
    </behaviors>
    <serviceHostingEnvironment aspNetCompatibilityEnabled="true" multipleSiteBindingsEnabled="true" />
    <bindings>
      <webHttpBinding>
        <binding name="HttpsBinding">
          <security mode="Transport">
            <transport clientCredentialType="None"/>
          </security>
        </binding>
      </webHttpBinding>
    </bindings>
  </system.serviceModel>
