IIS Express SSL This webpage is not available - asp.net

I have a ASP.NET MVC5 project running on IIS Express and Visual Studio 2013. I want to add SSL support to localhost for testing. I have followed the steps detailed in numerous blogs. Specifically this one from Hanselman.
When I test my site via port 44300 I get the response "This webpage is not available" in chrome, "This page can’t be displayed" in IE and "Could not get any response" (response 0) from Postman.
I have confirmed correct binding information in applicationhost.config. I have confirmed sslcert bindings via netsh. I have confirmed urlacl bindings via netsh. I have tried running under Administrator privileges. I have disabled my firewall. I am at a loss of what to do next.
I have run IISExpress from the command prompt with Admin privilages. I got the following error :
iisexpress.exe /site:MvcApplication1
Successfully registered URL "localhost:52033/" for site
Failed to register URL "localhost:44300/" for site "MvcApplication1"
application "/". Error description: Cannot create a file when that
file already exists. (0x800700b7)
Failed to register URL
"https://*:44300/" for site "MvcApplication1" application "/". Error
description: Cannot create a file when that file already exists.
(0x80070 0b7)
EDIT
I have deleted the urlacl binding for port 44300. It resolved the iisexpress command line errors... That said, when I run and view my site I still get no response.

I got it working. My path was wrong. I was navigating to
localhost:44300
instead of
https://localhost:44300

Why does "start debugging" cause an immediate HTTP404 error?

Setup
I recently changed computers, and pulled down a codebase that had been working before. I created the application using the "Create Virtual Directory" button in Visual Studio, and I can confirm that the application shows up in IIS as an application. I know this codebase works because it's in production; I've just changed development environments.
The Problem: HTTP 404.0
When I run the application, the debugger launches and a browser tab opens to HTTP 404.0
The problem resembles this unanswered question, except I'm using IIS 10 instead of 8.5: https://serverfault.com/questions/702235/iis-8-5-instant-404-0-error-on-mvc-site

What I've tried
Many StackOverflow answers point to issues with the RouteConfig or Global.asax.cs. I've set breakpoints in both; neither class is ever executed.
The app pool is the default app pool running in Integrated mode under the Network Service user, and Network Service has access to every file and folder in the directory.
Searching for answers in general is somewhat difficult because most results are about creating custom 404 error pages for when users incorrectly enter a URL.

This website used to work previously but recently the published version stopped working due to this error. As far as I can tell, the only change was installing iTextSharp and iTextSharp xmlworker through nuget.
I have tried, without success:
giving modify permission on the site folder to Everyone
checking the web.config file, and using an older version of the web.config file (from when the site worked).
uninstalling iTextSharp and iTextSharp XMLWorker
The project still runs without issue from Visual Studio.
This is solved. The error was caused by the folder name not matching the path for the virtual directory. Oh wow I feel dumb.
Check the applicationhost.config file under - .vs\lpsWeb-UI\config folder of your application root.
Under sites section of the config file check what the physical path points to.
If you modify those you should be able to fix the issue.
This is because of different physical path in the IIS.To change the physical path of application content
You can perform this procedure by using the user interface (UI), by running Appcmd.exe commands in a command-line window, by editing configuration files directly, or by writing WMI scripts.
User Interface
To use the UI
Open IIS Manager. For information about opening IIS Manager, see Open IIS Manager (IIS 7).
In the Connections pane, expand the Sites node and click to select the site in which your application runs.
In the Actions pane, click View Applications.
On the Applications feature page, select an application from the list and then click Basic Settings in the Actions pane.
In the Physical path box, change the path of the application content.
Click OK.
DefaultAppPool application pool runs under the Network Service account. This account is local to the computer and this account does not exist on another computer. Make sure that you configure the DefaultAppPool application pool to use an account that is a domain user. Then, you can use the same account on the WorkmenComp file server. Alternatively, you can create a workgroup account on the WorkmenComp file server.
I am getting this HTTP Error 500.19 error when I am giving physical path as Z:\App_Live in IIS
Instead of using z:\ ,
I used network path \\server\share\live_folder in the IIS physical path – something like this \\server\share\wwwroot\inetpub\wwwroot
Also you may need to specify username/password in "connect as".

Page cannot be served HTTP Error 404.3 - Not Found

IIS version:
I can't remove or uninstall IIS, because this is our customer server and they uses the default web site for their Application and myapplications must run in that web site.
What can I do??
I hope somebody please help me.
Best Regards
404.3 means there is a MIME type restriction, meaning that the IIS server will not handle files with whatever type of files you are trying host.
The handler has to defined under Handler Mappings (should be under your website).
Click Add Module Mapping and add the type of the file extension.

I am getting weird error 404 in IIS with page that don't exist

I am compiling an asp.net application with VS 2010 in windows server 2012 . The application is running smoothly in local pc. When I try to compile it in server the following comes up
The resource cannot be found.
Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.
Requested URL: /ccc/login.aspx
My start page is default.aspx and in local pc I am able to run it smoothly.
I checked the permission and I have full rights in the folder.
What I am doing wrong.?
Follow the below steps -
Go to IIS.
Select your web application.
Select 'Default Document' and check if Default.aspx is there or not.
If it is not there, add an entry.
Now try running your site. Also, you can enable 'Directory Browsing' for your applcation and select whatever page you want to run.

Windows Server 2008 R2 + IIS 7.5 - Resource cannot be found

I have migrated our company web apps from Windows Server 2003 to Windows Server 2008 R2. The are all .Net 2.0 classic web apps. They all seem to work fine, except when accessing any resource with a path starting with /Reports/...
In one app the physical path on disk is c:\Websites\app_name\WebService\Reports... In this reports folder PDF files are dynamically generated and written to disk. They can be accessed via a URL such as this:
http://domain_name/Reports/xxxx.pdf
where /Reports is a virtual directory mapping to the physical path above. This worked fine on 2003 server & IIS6 but on IIS7.5 & 2008 R2 I keep getting the following error:
The resource cannot be found.
Description: HTTP 404. The resource you are looking for (or one of its dependencies) could have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable. Please review the following URL and make sure that it is spelled correctly.
Requested URL: /Reports/xxxx.pdf
I have another web app that generates the reports dynamically and streams them directly to the client browser for saving to the local disk, rather than being written to disk on the server. Similar to the above example, the page that generates the report is found under path as follows:
/Reports/Viewer.aspx
In this case there is no virtual directory being used. The URL referenced in the browser is:
http://another_domain_name//Reports/Viewer.aspx
Once again I get the same error message as above... HTTP 404 - The resource cannot be found.
I have tried all the permission settings under the sun to try and get it working but to no avail. I've use built in accounts, created new accounts with permissions from very minimal right up to full admin rights. I've also played with the new AppPool Identities with no success. It doesn't seem to matter what permissions I set specifically on the directories, or the accounts configured for the app pool or basic settings on each website itself.
Once thing I have discovered though, is that whilst the browser is getting the HTTP 404 error, there is no record of this request appearing in the IIS log files for each website!! This is really confusing me, as I would definitely expect to see a failed 404 log entry on the requested resource.
Something else to note, I'm running SQL Server 2008 Enterprise on this machine with Reporting services installed and enabled. It's a stretch, but could there be some contention over the /Reports path in my websites vs something else running on the machine? I'm using different bindings/host headers for each individual domain and website running on the server.
Check Reports folder conflict. And remember, Google is faster than SO.
IIS gives 404 errors for more than just File Not Found these days - so it doesn't give away too much to attackers. Have a look at the event log (application), and also try accessing it from the server itself.
The other thing to check is that your IIS app pools are correctly configured - especially with the correct pipeline mode and .NET framework version.
At a command prompt, type:
netsh http show urlacl
See if there are any bindings with /reports/ --maybe a left over from a SQL Server Reporting Services install?
