In a 2011 to 2013 upgraded environment, I'm getting the following error when updating preview on certain pages (and then performing any actions in the CME. TcmServiceHost also stops.
Could not connect to net.tcp://localhost:2660/CoreService/2012/netTcp. The connection attempt lasted for a time span of 00:00:02. TCP error code 10061: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:2660.
Update 1: Browser console shows as issue with GetPreviewToken.
POST http://cms.electridion.com/WebUI/Models/SiteEdit/Services/Services.svc/GetPreviewToken 500 (Internal Server Error)

Restarting the service fixes the issue until the next preview.
I understand we configure NetTcp, which the CME uses, in %TRIDION_HOME%\TcmServiceHost.exe.config which has (updated to show the SDL Tridion 2013 endpoint):

IIS has the CMS with bindings set to http for host cms.domainname.com on Port 80.
Update and here's the partial browser error.
System.ServiceModel.EndpointNotFoundException: Could not connect to net.tcp://localhost:2660/CoreService/2012/netTcp. The connection attempt lasted for a time span of 00:00:02.0007991. TCP error code 10061: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:2660. ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException: No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it 127.0.0.1:2660
Questions:
- Do I need to set anything for the port 2660 (firewall, IIS, etc?) for the CME itself running on the same machine?
- Does the net.tcp://localhost need to match the CME url?
- Should TcmServiceHost.exe continue to run (it's set to "Automatic" so I'm not sure if that means stopping is a problem) or thoughts on what can stop it?
In terms of error logs, I do see Audience Manager complaining about the same issues but nothing much in Staging's core log. Where else should I check?
Update 2: I think a bad template caused the service to stop--it called RenderComponentPresentation on itself. I could see the template stall in Template Builder and Windows created fairly large crash reports (folders starting with AppCrash_TcmTemplateDebug_) in C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\WER\ReportQueue.
