Maybe a host based firewall has been set to block all TCP ports or block IP 127.0.0.1 localhost  Maybe, you need to reboot the machine.to clear O/S issues.

Hi mike4u,

For this error , please try to :

1. Delete YourSolutionFolder\.vs\config\applicationhost.config file (note: .vs is a hidden folder)
2. Open Visual Studio, right-click on web site > Properties > Debug tab > Web Server Settings > App URL - change port number.

In continuation to Nan Yu's suggestion, you can also give a try by running nestsh command on command prompt with elevated permissions. Command is as: netsh http show iplisten

if you receive the output of above command somethign other than 0.0.0.0, it means we can probably solve the issue by running further commands as follows:

netsh http delete iplisten ipaddress=aa.bb.cc.dd (where aa.bb.cc.dd is the IP address that we have to remmove)

netsh http add iplisten ipaddress=0.0.0.0

iisreset

Hope this should help you.
