Change my project to run under IIS instead of IIS express

Question

0.00/5 (No votes)

See more:

I have a project which runs using IIS express using the port number 49519 now I have created an app pool in IIS with port number 7001 for the same project. I can able to browse the application using IIS by clicking on "Browse: *:7001(hhtp)" under Actions pane.

What I have tried:

I have also stopped the site in IIS Express. Inspite of doing all these when I debug my application in visual studio 2013, it is using IIS Express with the old port number 49519 and not IIS.I have some blogs when they said "In Solution Explorer, right-click the name of the application and then select Properties. Click the Web tab" but I cannot find the web tab.

Can anyone please help me to fix this by changing my application to run using IIS.

In visual studio 2013 you could try changing the properties of the web project.
Solution Explorer > right click web project > Properties
Web > Servers > Select Local IIS
In any case fiddle with the server settings

Thanks for your reply. Sorry about that I don't have properties when I right click. I can find only property window and property pages options

Try Property Pages.

I even tried property pages. I am getting only the following tabs
references
Build
Accessibility
Start Options
MSBuild Options
Silverlight Applications

Start Options sounds like the correct page.

user 3008 12-Apr-16 10:23am

The start options page has few radio buttons under "Start action" like
User current page
specific page
start external program
start URL
Don't open page. Wait for a request from an external application.

And got Base Url under "Server" which is disabled.

Even in few other forums many have mentioned about this sever to change to IIS which is disabled for me

In visual studio 2017 you could try changing the properties of the web project.
Right click On web project You Want To Browse> Properties> Web > Servers > Select Local IIS (From DropDown)
