The start URL specified is not valid. http://localhost:xxx

Today morning when I tied to run my project I get "The start URL specified is not valid" error". I just install the newest Azure SDK.

In IIS Manager I see this, I can't start, restert website.

Why I can't run my project, any ideas? I have no logs in Event Logs. I use VS2015 Ultimate.

It could be a short answer but I too had this problem after deleting IISExpress folder inside this path

"C:\Users\{username}\Documents"

after reading this article.

but I solved this problem by doing these steps.

1)Run Visual studio as Administrator

2)Uncheck Override application root Url

enter image description here

then run just hit launch project.

Just restart your visual studio will do. Everything will be fine after that.

I was playing w/ things and I guess I accidentally cleared this setting. Different from other answers here, but the message does say 'Start url...' I set it back to 'localhost:4300' and was back plodding along.

All I had to do was restart Visual Studio 2017 CE.

I Know it's very late, but for future developers who come across this, i just had the same problem and i was using IIS Express, 1st i deleted then re-added the ip with netch commands:

  • netsh http delete urlacl url=http://192.168.1.76:49603/

  • netsh http add urlacl url=http://192.168.1.76:49603/ user=everyone

  • netsh advfirewall firewall add rule name="HNclinic3" dir=in protocol=tcp localport=49603 profile=private remoteip=localsubnet action=allow

But then the error message was still showing, all i did then was go to the properties in my app (right click> properties> web) and under Project Url these is a checkBox.

  • Override application root Url

I unchecked it and everything worked fine.
