ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED - .Net Core 1.0.1

Question

Update: Even a new .net core web application is showing the same error.

I'm using .Net Core Version 1.0.0-preview2-003131.

I upgraded a .Net Core SDK from Version 1.0.0-preview2-003121 to the above mentioned. Now when I try to run the application I get the error: ERR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

When I searched on Internet most of the stuff is to change the Port number. I change that and it still doesn't work.

Any ideas how to fix this?

The project.json file is:

I personally stumbled onto a similar issue when I updated my app to Microsoft.NETCore.App: 1.1.1

In my case it throws a bunch of warnings at run-time with warnings about "element 'xxx' in namespace 'http//schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003' has invalid child element...

For the time being rolling back to Microsoft.NETCore.App: 1.1.0 will do.

Some Info that I found related to the issue

Go to MyWebApplication\.vs\config\applicationhost.config verify if the bindingInformation PORT is the same port in Right click on your project > Debug > App URL

Answer 3

The same problem. Upgraded from Core 1.1.0 to 1.1.1 in simple pet project - can't run\debug on IIS Express. Looks like Core 1.1.1 build isn't stable enough.

Answer 4

I figured it out that this happens when we are missing the following under the dependencies in project.json

"Microsoft.NETCore.App": {
      "version": "1.0.1",
      "type": "platform"
    }

NOTE If the version is wrong (in the above mentioned) then also we see the same error.
