I was working happily on my project. Then came a need to enable access to the server from remote machine (android) in LAN. I followed few answers on StackOverflow and they have completely ruined my project.
- How to enable external request in IIS Express?
- IISExpress returns a 503 error from remote machines
- localhost refused to connect Error in visual studio
Earlier when I used to Debug using Visual Studio, I used to see two URLs, but I now I only see one. The debugging used to start in https://localhost:44373 but now https is just not starting and I get connection refused when I browse the https link. http link works fine.
I even tried to reset by following methods,
- Deleted
.vs\<project>\config\applicationConfig - Deleted IIS configuration
rmdir /s /q "%userprofile%\Documents\IISExpress"
but none helped i.e. https is not starting even after using doing this as well
IisExpressAdminCmd.exe setupsslUrl -url:https://localhost:44373/ -UseSelfSigned
Please help. I am getting worried. My basic intent is to enable HTTPS and enable access to this https from remote machine.
If someone knows about good server where I can deploy website and easily do this, you may suggest as an alternative, but suggest a solution to current problem as well.
