Question

I get this error message when I\'m trying to start the application.

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

Answer 1

There are just so many things that could cause this error. Here are a few that worked for me:

1. Just delete the web.config in your wwwroot folder. It will get recreated correctly on compilation.
2. If you are trying to use SSL and in your IIS Express and moving your SSL Cert to the Trusted Root Certification Authorities folder didn't work. In the Debug tab of the Properties of the project you are trying to run. Try unclicking the Enable SSL checkbox and then clicking it again to enable it and get a different port. You may have to do this a few times.
