"Unable to create virtual Directory. To access Websites on the local IIS Web server, You must run visual studio under an Administrator account"

  • I just run as administrator and virtual directory was Created. thanks for that and after that I tried to run web project, on the web application I got the error message "The website encountered an error while retrieving http://localhost/MvcDemo/. It may be down for maintenance or configured incorrectly." – atchyut kumar May 08 '13 at 12:19
  • Check in iis that localhost website is running and at least one of its binding port is 80. – Serge May 08 '13 at 12:23
  • Excuse me, Can explain a bit more. I am new for IIS. Thank you – atchyut kumar May 08 '13 at 12:26
  • When selecting the website where MvcDemo is (most likely "Default Web Site"), check that "Start" button isn't available (otherwise, click it) then click "Binding" to make sure the site is listening on port 80. – Serge May 08 '13 at 12:28
  • the start button is disabled on iis server and the port80 is already on – atchyut kumar May 08 '13 at 12:35
  • It's weird, can you browse to the website? You could try restarting iis (doc comman : iisreset) or even your computer. – Serge May 08 '13 at 12:39
