The type '*', provided as the Service attribute value in the ServiceHost directive, or provided in the configuration element * could not be found

Question

I have a provider hosted app in sharepoint which works locally without problem. I followed this tutorial to publish it to azure
http://blogs.technet.com/b/sharepointdevelopersupport/archive/2013/09/05/how-to-deploy-a-provider-hosted-app-as-an-azure-site.aspx
However after publishing the webservice doesnt work I get this exception:
[InvalidOperationException: The type 'x.IntranetWeb.Services.AppEventReceiver', provided as the Service attribute value in the ServiceHost directive, or provided in the configuration element system.serviceModel/serviceHostingEnvironment/serviceActivations could not be found.]

Hi,
The issue here is the mapping of the interface to the service in question, and usually points to a possible mistype or rename of something within your service architecture.
You need to make sure your namespace and service name here match your service name itself.
For detailed information, you could refer to:
