Unable to start debugging on the web server. IIS does not list a web site that matches the launched URL.


if you're encountering this error it's because you haven't started Visual Studio in Administrator mode. This will particularly be true for Visual Studio 2012 with Windows 8 users.



so start Visual Studio again in Administrator mode and this cryptic error should go away.

  1. Hi! Is there a way not to start VS as an administrator, but get rid of that error?

    1. hey, sorry for the delayed reply, been a mad week. unfortunately, not that I know of, but who knows? VS can be so unpredictable that there may well be. if you find out any let me know, I'd love to know. sorry I can't be of any more help.
