Creation of the virtual directory failed
See original GitHub issueI’ve followed the steps outlined in the readme.md files and have run both build.cmd and the .\tools\Enable-LocalTestMe.ps1 file. I can confirm this by opening readme.localtest.me in a browser; it shows the readme website as expected.
However, when I try to load the NuGetGallery.csproj file in Visual Studio, I get the following error message: Creation of the virtual directory http://nuget.localtest.me failed with the error: Cannot create the Web site ‘http://nuget.localtest.me’. You must specify “localhost” for the server name.
How do I get around this?

Just a couple of minutes ago I fighted against this issue as well. It worked for me on 3 machines, but failed by my colleague. Reason was: He used a German Windows Version, so this lines (in the Enable-LocalTestMe.ps1) must be “localized”:
Invoke-Netsh http add urlacl “url=http://:80$Subdomain.localtest.me/” user=Everyone Invoke-Netsh http add urlacl “url=https://:443$Subdomain.localtest.me/” user=Everyone
Change “Everyone” to “Jeder” in German.
Nevermind… it was the project Properties (not the “Properties” subnode, but the VS Properties, and set “SSL Enabled” to false… doh!
Always miss those properties, so very well hidden
