I'm doing a ASP.NET project with MS Visual Studio.NET. At the beginning I was using Win 2000 and everything was OK. Last week I bought a new laptop with Windows XP Professional and here came the trouble: I cannot start the application by viewing localhost and I cannot debug the application. Here is the error message I got when tried to debug:

Unable to start debugging on the web server.Server side-error occured on sending debug HTTP request.

I used the "Help" and checked everything it asked but still not working. When I tried to start without debugging, I got the following message:

Server Application Unavailable
The web application you are attempting to access on this web server is currently unavailable. Please hit the "Refresh" button in your web browser to retry your request.

Administrator Note: An error message detailing the cause of this specific request failure can be found in the system event log of the web server. Please review this log entry to discover what caused this error to occur.

Actually I can access the .html files of the application with localhost. The problem is with the webForms. Can you help me out of there? Really appreciate your help!!!:(

Hi,

You might want to look into the Application Log in your server's Event Viewer for more information. There are a couple of reasons why you may get this error... one of them being the aspnet_wp process did not start successfully.

Cheers!

This just happened to me - new laptop, rebuild dev environment that worked on Win2K, ... The quick fix for me was to run
   aspnet_regiis -i

Basically during these (painfully massive) reloads we all have to do these days, stuff got confused.

pgaston,

I want to have your babies... Sorry though, I'm male. THANK YOU!!

I was having problems somewhat similar as Lillian. I was also having weird problems where objects such as text boxes, buttons, etc wouldn't show up, only lables.

The "aspnet_regiis -i" command fixed everything in no time! Thank you again, I was pulling my hair out and ready to reformat.

I copied my project from 1 computer to another - same drive and directory. I can open the project fine, but can't debug - get the same message posted.

I tried the aspnet_regiis -i with no luck. Then rebooted - no luck.

Any help greatly appreciated!!

Hi all, I had the same problem.

aspnet_regiis -i did not fix my problem either.
The problem was solved when I added MY-MACHINE-NAME\ASPNET to the security tab of the properties window for the folder that contains my solution.

I also had a same problem.
I did the following.
    aspnet_regiis -ua
After that
    aspnet_regiis -i
This worked

cheers
