Debugger can't connect when starting local azure project

Question

Ok, first of; here\'s what I did:

1. Install AZURE tools
2. Reboot
3. Start Visual Studio - new Azure project
4. Add web role (asp.net MVC 4 bet

Answer 1

I got this exact same error and tried a re-install of IIS and the Azure SDK - nothing worked.

Eventually tracked it down to the "IIS URL Rewrite Module 2". I went to the Control Panel and chose Repair and it resolved it. If you have a section in your web.config then this might be the cause.
