remove virtual directory in IIS Express created in error

Question

I clicked on create virtual directory of the web tab of the properties menu. My application now isn't running (the published version is) It just hangs when any of my controllers code is executed I think I've messed up the IIS config Can anyone help me out?

Answer 1

My file was located here:

C:\Users\YourUserName\Documents\IISExpress\config\applicationhost.config

Entries will look like this

<application path="/virtualDirectoryName" applicationPool="Clr4IntegratedAppPool">
                    <virtualDirectory path="/" physicalPath="C:\projects\Project1" />
                </application>

Answer 2

None of this worked for me - possibly because I'm working with a later version of the tools (VS 2017). I finally found the correct appplicationhost.config file in the .vs directory for the solution, edited it, rebooted, and it worked.
