Right-click on your project in the Solution Explorer and choose "Properties". Then, under the tab for "Web" and the section "Servers", make sure the "Project Url" field is set to a valid fully-qualified URL (i.e. http://localhost:12345, where the port portion is not in use by another web application). Also, ensure that "Override application root URL" is unchecked, or if it is checked and you want it that way, that the field there is also a valid fully-qualified URL.
