definitions is a root element of WSDL so it looks like you are not loading WSDL.

Edit:

I tested it and it looks like the whole problem is with your web server. Your web server returns WSDL to browser but it doesn't return it to any tool because these tools are using very minimalistic HTTP requests without many HTTP headers. One of missing headers is Accept. Once this header is not included in the request your server throws HTTP 400 Bad request.

The easy approach to continue is opening WSDL in the browser, save the wsdl to a file and import that file to soapUI instead of the WSDL from URL.
