Introduction

This article provides a solution to the error shown (in the below screenshot) while running Znode Admin UI / API / WebStore application(s). 

Launching the IIS Express Web Server

The problem is a Visual Studio configuration and one possible solution is to directly edit the applicationhost.config.

1. Navigate to \ZnodeMultifront\Projects\.vs\Znode.Multifront\config
2. Open the applicationhost.config
3. Find the reference to the port number from the error, in the example above it is 44932
4. Comment out the binding protocol for HTTP since OOTB Znode supports SSL

5. <!-- <binding protocol="http" bindingInformation="*:44392:localhost" />-->

6. Save the file and restart IIS / IISexpress.
