I'm following the Training Kit for Exam 70-463 and in chapter 15 where I am creating the web-site for MDS, I'm getting an error. I am using SQL Server 2014, not 2012, but the dialogue looks the same so I think it should work.
Initially I had problems as there was already a website binding on port 8080 for TFS but I updated that to use 9090 so I could set my MDS website up with the same parameters as the book was instructing me.
The error dialogue I get when I click OK on Create Website is entitled Site name not valid (I've used MDS as shown in the sample) and the body text is "The site could not be created. The error is The directory property cannot be found in the cache".
I did follow the instructions for setting up the roles and features. The only difference was that where the instructions said to include ASP .NET 4.5, the version on my PC is 4.6. I have assumed that's probably OK?
Can anyone help me address this? I'm not at all familiar with IIS.
