The Application is configured to use IIS (Visual Studio 2017/2019)

Question

**Hi Guys I just Cloned my project from a repository. I am getting this Similar error The Web Application Project […] is configured to use IIS. The Web server […] could not be found.

I do have IIS Manager on my pc. one of the solution is to set True on my cs.proj file but when i do it auto imports a port number. when i try to run the application with that port number the application hangs(load forever). What are possible ways to solve this error ?**

@BerBar I used False solution. the problem is that the project gets loaded but when i try to run it it keeps hanging on http://localhost:64126/ and there is no output . Meaning the server is not responding — Tshepo Kgetinti, Jan 31 '20 at 11:09
have you try open the project folder and delete {Project}.csproj.user and reload it ? — Sergio Rezende, Jan 31 '20 at 11:19
Yes the localhost keeps on loading and no output is received — Tshepo Kgetinti, Jan 31 '20 at 11:44
Try to reset the IIS also: iisreset: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/debugger/error-the-web-server-is-not-configured-correctly?view=vs-2019 — Sergio Rezende, Jan 31 '20 at 13:05
> Reseted IIS Server > Published the project > Added Project to IIS server(Windows) > On Visual Studio Choose to run project Local IIS Server instead Of IIS Express Server. — Tshepo Kgetinti, Feb 03 '20 at 06:33

Just to register an answer for all getting into the same problem under the same scenario, as we discuss and resolve it from the question's comments:

Ps: as i said this solution works for this particular scenario, maybe anyone else has to apply a different approach! In this case, try to follow the below link for other solutions!

The Web Application Project [...] is configured to use IIS. The Web server [...] could not be found.

Reset the IIS; (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/visualstudio/debugger/error-the-web-server-is-not-configured-correctly?view=vs-2019)
Publish the project;
Add it to IIS Server;
Run it using IIS Local (not the IIS Express)
