When you get the error “Unable to connect to web server ‘IIS Express’ you probably try to start the website with a port that is in an excluded port range
Unable to connect to web server ‘IIS Express’
List the excluded port ranges with the command below:
netsh interface ipv4 show excludedportrange protocol=tcp
Sample output may look something like this:
Now to change the port for your web site right select the dropdown right to the IIS Express label
Then select [YOUR PROJECT] debug properties and change the port on the properties page (highlighted below)
If you would like to list directories first and than the files with the linux ls command you would have to execute the following ls command ls -l –group-directories-first
The –group-directories-first takes care of showing the directories first and than the files.
My favorite ls alias is (add / change it in your .bashrc ):
ls -AlF --group-directories-first --color=auto
# -A => do not show the implied . and .. directories
# -l => use a long listing
# -F => appends an indicator to entries (a / for a directory)
