Error hosting asp.core 2.0 webapi in IIS

Question

I have developed asp.net core 2.0 webapi and hosting in IIS. I installed the hosting bundle as mentioned in Hosting Bundle Installation

But for some reason i am getting the following error:

An error occurred while starting the application.

.NET Core 4.6.25815.02 X64 v4.0.0.0    |   Microsoft.AspNetCore.Hosting version 2.0.0-rtm-26452    |    Microsoft Windows 6.1.7601 S

Some of the error lines in stdout...

Thanks. i am using the database on the same machine where i have iis. so dont think it is connection issue. — Mukil Deepthi, Nov 29 '17 at 15:10
Well, it *is* a connection issue, since that's the failure message you're getting. Perhaps the connection string is wrong/not set properly. — Chris Pratt, Nov 29 '17 at 15:28
It is a connection issue.... That is the error message you are getting — Jonathan Alfaro, Nov 29 '17 at 20:13
@ChrisPratt, both are right. it is because of wrong connection. thanks — Mukil Deepthi, Nov 30 '17 at 10:41
@Darkonekt you are right , it is due to wrong connection. Thanks — Mukil Deepthi, Nov 30 '17 at 10:41

There are a couple of settings you can add on to the WebHost.CreateDefaultBuilder() method that will show detailed error messages instead of generic one when hosting .NET Core 2 apps in IIS.

.UseSetting("detailedErrors", "true")

.CaptureStartupErrors(true)

Can you share what was wrong? We have the same issue but I swear it was working before we republished and now not.. the connection string looks OK – Piotr Kula Jan 03 '18 at 09:22
I would also be interested what needs to be changed in order to remove this warnings. – monty Jul 10 '18 at 08:34
