SignalR

Hey guys I have a problem which I need a little help with. I have a SignalR web project which I communicate with through a console application. When I run my SignalR Web application locally it works fine without any issues but when I deploy it to IIS and try create the hub proxy I get the error below, I have been pulling my hair out all day and I can't find a solution. Any help is very much apreciated.


Error:
"Unexpected character encountered while parsing value: <. Path '', line 3, position 1."}


Console application:

var connection = new HubConnection(txtSignalRWebsite.Text);
//Make proxy to hub based on hub name on server
var myHub = connection.CreateHubProxy("dbHub");

//Start connection
connection.Start().ContinueWith(task =>
{
    if (task.IsFaulted)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("Error" + task.Exception.ToString());
    }
    else
    {
        myHub.Invoke("DisplayHello");
    }
}).Wait();
