Here's what I have done in NT4.0 to get ASP debugging working.  Not sure how
different it is in 2k.

In Interdev, turn on "Automatically enable ASP server-side script debugging
on  launch" on the Launch tab of your web project properties.
In IIS manager, go to your virtual directory properties, click on the home
directory tab, then the Configuration... button.
From here, you can go to the App Debugging tab, and turn on the two debug
flags. Ok everything back out to the main IIS window, and STOP and RESTART
the web services. You may need to do "net stop iisadmin /y" from a command
line to make it work. I have had problems using just the IIS manager.
In Interdev, right-click the file you want to debug, and select "Set as
start page"
Then hit the play (right arrow) button in Interdev. This will open up a new
IE window, and will load the page.  Then go into Interdev and set a
breakpoint (or just make a line of bad code ;) and refresh the IE window.
This SHOULD - in theory - send you into Interdev at the breakpoint or error.
You can then step through the file with F11 to go line by line.

Try that out and see if it works. You might have to fiddle with stopping and
starting the web services to make it work. It's very specific.  I spent 30
minutes yesterday trying to shut it OFF.

Good luck.

Subject: Problem with MS Script Debugger


Hi, am using VI as my page editor, running on W2000, have created a virtual
dir for the debugging tutorial from Chap 9. and changed the App Debugging to
Enable ASP server-side script debugging.

I've typed in the buggy ASP and opened it successfully in IE
(http://127.0.0.1/Debugging/Debug.asp).

I can't get the debugger to open from IE5.5 (View\Script Debugger\Open)...
When I run it from the Start Menu (\Accessories\Microsoft Script
Debugger\Microsoft Script Debugger), I don't see any Running Documents - not
even 'Microsoft Internet Explorer'.  I've hit the refresh button so many
times I'm in danger of wearing it out!

I don't want to have to use the Debugger, but in reality I know sooner or
later I'll need it.

What's the foolish mishtake(sic) that I'm making?

Thanks in advance, Pete.
