Note: Exchange 2010 OWA Event ID 108 and Event ID 3 errors have many causes. This is only a sample one.
Problem: I was getting these errors:
Log Name: Application

Event ID: 108
Task Category: Configuration
Level: Error
Keywords: Classic

Description:
Outlook Web App couldn't connect Exchange Web Services due to a configuration error. Response code = "500".
Log Name: Application
Source: System.ServiceModel 3.0.0.0
Date: 9/5/2013 9:31:47 AM
Event ID: 3
Task Category: WebHost
Level: Error

Description:
WebHost failed to process a request.
Sender Information: System.ServiceModel.ServiceHostingEnvironment+HostingManager/30542218
Exception: System.ServiceModel.ServiceActivationException: The service '/EWS/exchange.asmx' cannot be activated due to an exception during compilation. The exception message is: This collection already contains an address with scheme http. There can be at most one address per scheme in this collection.
Parameter name: item. ---> System.ArgumentException: This collection already contains an address with scheme http. There can be at most one address per scheme in this collection.

Cause:
In this specific case the problem is caused by the way .NET web services handle protocol bindings. A Microsoft hotfix may be available to fix this behavior.
Solution:
Adjust your IIS bindings back to the default ones. See below:
[untested] Recreating the exchange virtual directories may also work be redefining the expected bindings at the .NET level.
Other relevant Tips or Gotchas
** setting default domain for OWA **
- This can be done form exchange management console: Server config > client access > [select server] > outlook web app [tab] > properties [default web site] > Authentication [tab]
** OAB (operation failed. an object cannot be found) - event id 9360 OAL Generator **
- make sure you set the offline address book for each mail database on your Exchange 2010 database server(s)
- exchange management console: organization config > Mailbox > [select a database] > properties > client settings [tab]
** windows auth on all Active-sync-folders for mobile devices **
- Some active sync issues are caused by not having windows authentication enabled via IIS on the "Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync" virtual directory in IIS. Do this for all external and internal CAS servers that have IIS virtual directories with that name
** Mobile devices stopped syncing ***
- you can change all the username's in the phones to be domain\username if they aren't already or set the default name via IIS. Find the "Microsoft-Server-ActiveSync" virtual directory in IIS, go to: Authentication > Basic authenticaion > right click [edit] > enter your domain.
** public folder replication **
- don't forget to replicate your public folders including free busy and OAB folders
** SSL certs for autodiscover,webmail,legacy **
- I purchased a SSL cert and forgot to include SANs for some needed aliases. Save your self some trouble and buy a digicert wildcard cert for $600 with unlimited SANs.
** SMTP receive connector only relays email to internal addresses ***
