Answer 1

Computer restarted.

worked for me!

Answer 2

None of the listed solutions worked for me. Problem was some sort of conflicting state in local applicationhost.config file. Fix is easy, just delete one in your solution. For VS2015 it should be located in <path_to_your_solution>\Solution\.vs\config\. When you launch Debug, VS will recreate that file based on settings in your project file.

Answer 3

Deleting the hidden .vs folder didn't work for me since the port specified in my app was being used by another app. Doing the following worked for me:

1. Went to properties and then click the web tab.
2. Changed the port number in the Start Url and the Project URL.
3. Clicked Create Virtual Directory.
4. Save and Press F5.

Answer 4

What I did to make this go away:

Open C:\Users\gr_mext1\Documents\IISExpress\config\applicationhost.config and remove all <site> entries in <sites> do not remove <siteDefaults>!

In your project, go to Properties, Web and click "Create Virtual Directory".

Close and re-open visual studio, load your project and run

Fixed!

Answer 5

Resolution I found;

Head to the following directory

%userprofile%\documents\IISExpress\Config directory

Delete all files within that folder. Restart visual studio and works like a charm.

Answer 6

First Error

For the first error:

Process with an ID #### is not running.

The following steps worked for me:

1. Close all instances of Visual Studio.
2. Rename the IISExpress folder (in my PC is in C:\Users\jmelosegui\Documents).
3. Add the _CSRUN_DISABLE_WORKAROUNDS Environment System variable with the value of 1.
4. Start Visual Studio in administrator mode. (In Windows, right click the executable file and select Run as administrator).

Second Error

The second error:

The webpage is not available

What caused this error:

I deleted IIS Express Development Certificate while playing with the SSL.

The following steps worked for me:

1. Go to Control Panel.
2. Select Add/Remove Programs.
3. Locate IIS 8.0 Express.
4. Right click on it then click Repair.
5. Your certificate should be back!

Hope this helps!
