Q:

Visual Studio 2012 Project: Page cannot be displayed

I have a project which I moved from one computer to the other. The project worked fine on the initial computer but had to get rid of that computer so copied the project folder to the new computer. Now, on runing the project in the new computer, I get a page that give different messages in deferent browsers:

IE: Page cannot be displayed 
Chrome: This webpage is not available
Firefox: Firefox failed to establish a connection whith the server at
localhost.

I run the project using ctrl + F5.
The project is set to use the Local IIS web server (with virtual directory localhost/projectname) and is configured for adfs authentication.
I tried running the project straight from IIS but the same outcome.
I tried creating a blank project a running it on the new machine and all worked well.
How could I fix this please? 

A:

The page in question required HTTPS and not HTTP; but I wass missing the IIS binding for HTTPS. I followed the instructions here to create a certificate and binding HTTPS using that certficate; and that solved the issue.
