Exchange 2013 ECP not working "Failed to map the path '/ecp'." 500pnt
Ok,
So I installed Exchange 2013 at the weekend and today I started to configure it, I added the certificates and that's about it.
After a while I went to the ecp url which https://wlexch001/ecp and it would not let me in when I entered the password just kept loop around - I found on the web about remove and recreate the virtual directory which is what I did it removed fine but then when I re-added it I get a "Failed to map the path '/ecp'."
I've attached a screen shot
Please help me sort this out

What happens if you go to https://wlexch001/ecp?ExchClientVer15

@Diggisaur
If I go to https://wlexch001/ecp?ExchClientVer15 - I get the same message come up
@Simon - I used Remove-EcpVirtualDirectory -Identity " WLexch001\ecp (Default Web Site)"
then
New-EcpVirtualDirectory -Server WLEXCH001 -ExternalURL https://xxxx.xxxx.xxx/ecp -InternalURL https://wlexch001/ecp
To recreate it.

Ok, repeat what you did before, but DO NOT include the ExternalURL or InternalURL values, so just the new-ecpvirtualdirectory -Server WLEXCH001 bit
Don't forget to run iisreset afterwards.

So the command would be New-EcpVirtualDirectory -Server WLEXCH001 https://wlexch001/ecp
And what is IISRESET?
Thank you

I could seem to remove the VirtualDirectory so I could add it again - however I didn't realise I had to restart the IIS I did that and now it works.
I will award you the point but could you explain to me what VirtualDirectory are or point me in the right direction so I can read up please,
