unable to connect to ASP.Net development server issue

Hi,

I get an error while trying to run web applications,

Error Message: Unable to connect to the ASP.NET Development Server.

What should I do?

Answer 1

Most likely something else is using the ports needed by the ASP.NET Development Server. Check out this link for more information:

Basically, when you look down through the solutions posted there, you find it could be a port in use, a folder in an unexpected place (64-bit machine), an anti-virus software or firewall blocking the port, etc. There is a lot of possible causes so you will need to experiment but this information should get you started.
