Hello
I need help.
The error message I get is
"Unable to start debugging on the web server. The project is not configured to be debugged."

But I did everything that
Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 306156 said.

The Webconfig file is set to debug =true
<compilation defaultLanguage="vb" debug="true" />

In the Microsoft Knowledge Base Article - 306156 it says:

If your project already has a Web.config file, and if the debug attribute is set to true in the <compilation> section of the Web.config file, follow these steps to set the Execute Permissions property for the project folder:

Start Internet Services Manager, and then click the project that you are trying to debug.
Right-click the project, and then click Properties.
Click the Directory tab.
If None is selected in the Execute Permissions list, click Scripts only, and then click Apply.

I did this too
I restarted my computer and I still have problems

I also made sure ASP.NET is added to current folders security tab.

What could possibly be the problem.
Thanks.

I feel and :(

Hey,

If you are using VS.NET, try Debug > Start Without Debugging. That may point out a problem you are having.

I am using VS.NET.
When I tried Debug > Start Without Debugging
I get this error:

Parser Error Message: It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS.

Source Error:


Line 37: by Microsoft that offers a single logon and core profile services for member sites.
Line 38: -->
Line 39: <authentication mode="Windows" />

It says line 39 is problem.

?????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????


But I did configure it as IIS like stated above:
"If your project already has a Web.config file, and if the debug attribute is set to true in the <compilation> section of the Web.config file, follow these steps to set the Execute Permissions property for the project folder:

Start Internet Services Manager, and then click the project that you are trying to debug.
Right-click the project, and then click Properties.
Click the Directory tab.
If None is selected in the Execute Permissions list, click Scripts only, and then click Apply."

And I also went to IIS and made the currentproject folder into a virtual folder and it has the global icon coming out of the box.

Or is this NOT a way to configure a virtual directory as an application in IIS.

If so how do you configure a virtual directory as an application in IIS?

Hello,

Go back to that menu. Above the Execute permissions area it says Application name. Make sure the button to the right says removed (the application must be created for it to be a virtual).

Check that,

Brian

Hello

The application name exists.
But I still get same error:
"Unable to start debugging on the web server. The project is not configured to be debugged."

What can possibly be wrong?

Do you have the <authentication ..> tag under the system.web element? This might be due to a problem with the web.config file...

Check that, let me know.

Brian

Hey,

In regards to your email to me, I honestly don't have any idea what may be your problem. Maybe if you don't have a lot vested in the project that you try recreating the project?

Again, I've thought all of those ideas would have fixed it. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Brian

Thanks Brain,

The initial project was created by someone else.
When I load the project and try to open it in my PC it has problem.

The funny thing is when I recreate it in VS.NET on my computer it works.

Is this a common thing?????

Hello,

I download examples off of the web all the time, load the solution or project on my machine, and it works fine. I wouldn't say that it is common...
