Problem
This is the type of error I’m getting:
any time I’m debugging one of my projects
After reinstalling Visual Studio 2012, I tried again. But it’s the same kind of issue I’m having with Debugging.
The following are the settings on my system:
When displaying a web page, an exception is thrown.
[ArgumentOutOfRangeException: Specified argument was out of the range of valid values.
Parameter name: site]
System.Web.HttpRuntime.HostingInit(HostingEnvironmentFlags hostingFlags, PolicyLevel policyLevel, Exception appDomainCreationException) +298
[HttpException (0x80004005): Specified argument was out of the range of valid values.

I had the same issue i resolved it by repairing the iis server in programs and features.
GO TO
Control panel > remove an application, then right-click the installed iis express server (installed with Visual Studio) and select repair from the menu.
This is how I resolved the problem.

Rather than installing the bulky IIS, I remedy my issue by installing Internet Information Services Hostable Web Core from the Windows Features menu.
