I am developing a bot in Azure using the Bot Framework (C#). After spinning it up on Azure I downloaded the source code and tried to open the provided Visual Studio solution file but got an error
Creation of virtual directory http://localhost:3894/ failed with the error: Filename: redirection.config Error cannot read configuration file
Google points towards an issue with IIS or IISExpress but the recommended solutions (forcing IIS to recreate config files by renaming them) didn't work. I don't know if the issue is with Visual Studio, my system, or something else entirely but anything that could shine light on the situation would be appreciated.
EDIT: Deleted and Re-downloaded both VS and IISExpress, did not fix the problem
Try to right click your project in solution explorer and select properties. The select web on the left side. click the create virtual directory button. see if that works for you.

my project was working good, someone asked me to upload it to GitHub, I did it and after downloaded it again, now when I open my project all of the files contained in it have a padlock icon besides and when I debug my project it produces an exception, why it this happening? Maybe it has to do with Team Foundation Server? How could I make my project work normally as it was before?
It seems like it was a problem of configuration, it was weird because it didn't recognized even Entity Framework, I changed to an administrator local account for windows and in the SQLServer service, right click, select Properties, Log On tab, and changed "Logon as" to "This account" with the new local account, that solved the issue
This was working fine yesterday.
I made several changes to my system (updates from VS Community 15) and the Azure SDK updates, etc., - as was recommended by the software.
Today, when I right click on the web app and select Publish (using the same or manually entered public information) I see the following error on my Azure App Service Activity tab:
Can't find existing loaded project:http://localhost:55809
I have since tried other publish profiles, none seem to work.
I can successfully build and run the web app on localhost.
In Visual Studio, go to View -> Other Windows -> Web Publish Activity and you will see the Azure App Service Activity window.
Click on the Publish web icon that you will find there. It should work.
Publishing via FTP to azure instead of WebDeploy worked for me.
Change the deploy method to Ftp then change it right back to "Web Deploy". This keeps working for me
In the project folder in the website.publishproj file change the SourceWebProject tag to contain your client name instead of the localhost.
At least this worked for me :)
Update 13 Dec 2015:
Having the same problem again. The previously mentioned fix does not work. However publishing via FTP to azure works.
When you get the azure publish profile you get both Web Deploy and FTP. Try using FTP.
An update of Visual Studio Community 2015 to version 14.0.24720.00 Update 1 seems to have corrected the problem.
Update or install from here. Visual Studio Community Download from Microsoft
I have a website in C# Visual Studio 2013, which was developed by another developer and is hosted on Azure cloud service. Whenever I make any changes and try to publish, Visual Studio hangs and I can't publish it. It is not showing any error message. Besides that I can successfully deploy it by building it, but as it's taking too much time and also costs money to client (as VS Team Services only provides monthly 60 minutes of free build, after that clients get charged for extra minutes). I am using following steps for publishing and it's works fine but after publishing starts Visual Studio hangs and is unresponsive.
The steps to publish the website are as follows:
1) Open the solution in visual studio.
2) Right click on the azure project in the solution explorer, and select publish.
3) The first step in the wizard is to sign in, make sure to select your credentials.
4) The next step is settings, make sure environment is set to production and build configuration is set to release, then click next.
5) The final step is a summary, simply click the publish button.
I am very new to Azure so let me know if I need to make any setting during set up my project.
I hit the same problem after installing the 2.8 SDK and tools. After checking out these answers I still had the problem, but found a solution.
Right click the Azure project in the VS2013 solution explorer, open project properties. Go to the application tab, and there's an "Upgrade" button to upgrade the project to the latest SDK. That did the trick for me.
It sounds like you are doing the right steps to deploy using the wizard. However I don't have enough information to know what would cause this to hang. There are some documentation details about the wizard that might help? https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/azure/hh535756.aspx
There are other ways to deploy to Azure, which may solve the issue. You can for example download a publish settings profile, and use this to deploy instead of the wizard. Details here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/avkashchauhan/archive/2012/05/10/downloading-windows-azure-publish-settings-subscription-configuration-file.aspx
Or you can deploy continuously from Git - https://azure.microsoft.com/en-us/documentation/articles/web-sites-publish-source-control/#Step75
Both solutions will require some tinkering in the Azure portal or getting in with PowerShell but there's a lot of ways to deploy.
Doing these two things fixed it for me, not sure which:
Clean build
Server Explorer > (Had to re-enter Azure credentials)
VS2013 update 5.
A related post found here..
https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/virtualization/en-US/4e51b1f0-91c3-4ce9-9a15-a8d10f912c5b/publish-cloud-service-causes-visual-studio-2013-to-hang-crash?forum=windowsazuredevelopment
One user was able to get past the publish freezing by doing the following..
So I did a line-by-line comparison between all of the files in that
new project and everything in my existing one and found only two
possible things wrong:
1) The version stamps (dates, really) in my
files were not upgraded to reflect the latest version of the Azure
tools. I manually changed those in my existing project to match the
garbage test project's date stamps.
2) My XML files had some empty
sections that did not exist in the new project's files, so I simply
removed those empty sections.
3) Beyond that, I also deleted my *.user
file.
Specifically, I was able to remove schemaVersion="2014-06.2.4" from my ServiceConfiguration and ServiceDefinition files and it fixed the issue.
My guess is that your installed sdk version is different than the specified schemaversion.
I tried all above methods none worked for me. So this is for people who already tried above and still couldn't make it work.
=> Publish in Release mode :-)
Yes I was trying to publish in Debug mode which was causing it to hang till death ;-)
i can not reload the WebApplication project, i got this message error
i moved the server to another place, so the IP is changed.
i already change the ip on IIS and WebApp config
i already uninstall IIS and reinstall
i already use aspnet_reggis -i
but still i, can not reload the WebApplication.
thanks you in advance
PS: i m sure is because the IP configuration. it work well at my home, now i bring the computer to office...it not work anymore....nothing change just the IP my home is not the same like IP in my office
the error message says: the project web ESPTEMPS_WebApp is configured for IIS, the website is not found.
You most likely need to configure your IIS for your website.
here's a helpful link to do this: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cek8kw6e.aspx
Good luck,
Your application is configured to work with IIS, in your case, IIS is not installed in your system or maybe the developer used IIS Express when developing. (You need to install VS 2010 sp1 to get IIS Express 7.5 integration with VS)
What you can do is:
Close your solution and open the csproj file in notepad (of the project that is giving problems)
Find and set these values:
<UseIIS>False</UseIIS>
<UseIISExpress>False</UseIISExpress>
Then reopen your solution again with visual studio. You will be able to debug with the web developer web server.
I found a very good reference for you. It will walk your through set of steps to help you configure your IIS. Here is the link. Please ignore the steps that are not applicable to you. But basic idea is:
Open Project Properties and go to Web tab
Select local IIS web server. If it is already selected, it will show you a virtual directory. If it doesn't already show selected, then mention the virtual directory.
I've spent a great long while googling this problem without any luck and I've always found great answers here, so here it goes:
[BACKGROUND]
I have a web application which was developed in C# with Visual Studio 2008. It was a part of a solution with another project which contained a web service. This was not created "IN" IIS (I was using the Cassini ASP.NET Development Server at first, but have encountered numerous issues). I finally got approval to install IIS 5.1 (Government Network - using Windows XP) so I wanted to host my apps there for development.
I moved my projects to another folder created my IIS virtual directories, pointed them at the right location, updated my security settings, ensured that .NET 2.0 was selected and tested the site and web service. They function perfectly in IIS.
[ACTUAL PROBLEM]
I open Visual Studio, click File > Open > Web Site > Local IIS > [Application Name] and it opens up, but my .design files aren't nested under the ASPX / ASCX objects, and when I right click on it and select "View Code" it takes me to the markup instead of the code behind. Once I reach the code behind, I don't have access to any of the members of the design, as though there was a problem with the wire up.
I have tried creating a web site from IIS through Visual Studio, and it works perfectly. I closed it and opened it up again to see if that functionality would persist and it did.
I've encountered this before and have had to re-create a new site through Visual Studio, and manually re-populate it with all of my classes from a "broken" solution. I would love to solve this the correct way.
Please help!

The best thing I could suggest would be to go through the Project files with a fine toothcomb (as Filburt suggested) and make sure the references are pointing to a virutal directory (or via the inetpub folder, if thats how your IIS settings are configured), rather than a file system directory.
You might also want to check your IIS settings. Is your virutal directory set up to point to a file directory?
Good luck!
All dependencies between markup, .design and code-behind files are laid out in the project file.
You could use a sample project to discover how to correct your existing project.
