Answer 2

Hi @eitan blum ,

Possible workaround for this error:
Due to port number is already in use - Change the port number for the web application in project's Properties tab.

Steps:

1. In Solution Explorer, right-click the name of the Web application project for which you want to specify a Web server, and then click Properties.
2. In the Properties window, click the Web tab.
3. Assign other port number in the Project URL box.

Hope this helps you!
