Answer 1

Port numbers do not match

In my case the problem was in my Bindings Tags found in the config file in .vs under my solution folder, the port numbers did not match. The bindings were as follows

And in my settings i had url set as http://localhost:1943/

So what i did was to delete inside binding and run my web app, then it generated new binding with a different number then i copied the new generated port to my settings, then the error went away.
