For the VS 2005 applications, we have had a database Server where the SQL Server databases were built. Selecing "Start without debugging" completed the application with no data bound to a GridView.

To debug the application, I clciked Debug menu and select Start Debugging. Here is the error msg:

"Unable to strat debugging on the web server. The COM+ registry database detected a system error."

What does this error message mean?

Also for the VWD 2005 Express and SQL Server Standard authentication,
clicking Start Debugging showed:

"Debugging failed because integrated Windows authentication is not enabled."

To debug, the User ID/Password connection string is no good?

TIA,
Jeffrey

A search for the first error message only turned up your post that you made on the ASP.NET forums, however, by massaging my query on Google I turn up this result:
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/Sho...01790&SiteID=1 here is the google query i used: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&r...B+system+error

Your second error is easier.
Goto Start --> Run --> inetmgr This starts the IIS MMC

Right click on your website (or application) and select properties. Go to the Directory Security Tab. Tick the Integrated Windows Authentication checkbox. This applies to IIS 5.1 - 6

For IIS 7 check this link:

Also, if you are running Vista, you need to have at least Home Preimum to enable Windows Authentication in IIS. (Home Basic/Starter do not provide this functionality)

First thing first.
"Your second error is easier.
Goto Start --> Run --> inetmgr This starts the IIS MMC"

To debug VS/VWD 2005, I have to use Integrated authentication mode?

Yes.

When you attempt to Debug a web application the DEBUG verb is sent along with your request to the server which IIS has to authenticate so that you can become attached to the process allowing you to debug said application.

This has nothing to do with the connection string for SQL Server.

For the error msg:
"Debugging failed because integrated Windows authentication is not enabled."

Clicking the checkbox of Integrated Windows Authentication under Directory Security Tab solved the problem.

For the error msg:
"Unable to strat debugging on the web server. The COM+ registry database detected a system error."

One post showed one solution:
"I made sure that ASPNET had access to the temporary files directories: c:\%WinDir%\Microsoft.NET\Framework\2.0.50727\Temporary ASP.NET Files"

On the PC with which I solved the first error there is a 'Temporary ASP.NET files' folder under the IIS Default Web Site and Solution Explorer, but on the PC with the COM+ registry error, there is no such folder. Wondering if this folder have to be created under IIS Default Web Site in order to solve the COM+ registry error? If yes, how?

TIA,
Jeffrey

One Post for solving the DOM+ registry database error is:
Try adding ASPNET to the Local Administrators group.

I've tried that before. Thought I may not 'refresh' correctly, so did it again. This time I shut down and restarted my workstation. It worked.

Thanks.
