Creating a virtual directory failed with the error

I can't solve this problem

enter image description here

I suggest I have to change c:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc\hosts file and add after

# localhost name resolution is handled within DNS itself.

the next line:

127.0.0.1       mysite.dev

but it doesn't help. Any suggestions?

Error ocсurrs when I try to open web site project in Microsoft Visual Studio 2012.

Solution

  • I've already found the solution. I just had to edit C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\IISExpress\config\applicationhost.config file, by adding my site to <sites> node.
