Hi All,

If you encounter the error saying that "Unable to start debugging on the web server. Unable to connect to the web server. Verify that the web server is running and that incoming HTTP requests are not blocked by a firewall."

Make sure that the IIS website on which you are debugging is up and running.

To do this, go to IIS Manager, select the website on which we are debugging and start the website.
