 Why this error is coming?
We are getting this error because of we didn’t set host file with this url

To set url in host file you need to open this path
C:\Windows\System32\drivers\etc
In this folder select hosts file and open with notepad (if you’re using Windows7 open that file like Run as Administrator) and set the url path will be like this

127.0.0.1       visualstudiolearn.com

(Note: Don’t include # symbol before IP and url because if you add # it will ignore our site path)
