Answer 1

I see this EXACT problem from time to time, when using SSL, and have found that (especially when working on someone else's project in a team environment) the Visual Studio project web settings (SSL ports) sometimes get messed up. Here's what I do to fix them:

• In Solution Explorer, click your project.
• Hit the F4 key (view properties).
• Copy the URL (NOT the SSL URL).
• Paste the URL into the Project Url on the Web Tab, Save.
• In Solution Explorer, click your project.
• Hit the F4 key (view properties).
• Change SSL Enabled to false.
• Change it back to true. There should be a new SSL URL. Copy it.
• Paste the new SSL URL into Project URL on Web tab. Click Create Virtual Directory.
• Click Override application root URL, and paste in SSL URL. Save.

This always solves the issue for me.
