An error occurred attempting to determine the process id of the DNX process host

Answer 1

It is possible to upgrade, i found i had to look through the new updated templates here.

Update your web.config in wwwroot to include:

You will also need to change the way the project debugs using Kestrel by modifying your project.json:

"commands": {
  "web": "Microsoft.AspNet.Server.Kestrel"
},
"dependencies": {
  "Microsoft.AspNet.IISPlatformHandler": "1.0.0-beta8",
  "Microsoft.AspNet.Server.Kestrel": "1.0.0-beta8",
}

and modifying your hosting.ini

server=Microsoft.AspNet.Server.Kestrel

and adding this to the Configure method in startup.cs

// Add the platform handler to the request pipeline.
app.UseIISPlatformHandler(); 

adding these references should allow you to run the project.
