Cannot debug asp.net applications

[Peter Afonin]

Hello:

I'm running Windows server 2003. I've never had any problems with debugging,
but now I cannot debug ANY of my projects. I'm getting this error:

"Error while trying to run project: Unable to start debugging on the web
server. Access is
denied."

The only thing I've done recently was installing all the latest Microsoft
security patches, I have nothing else to blame. Do you know what could be
done?

I would appreciate any help.

Thank you,

I tried to uninstall all latest Microsoft patches, now I'm getting this
error:

"Error while trying to run project: Unable to start debugging on the web
server. Could
not read key from registry"

Thank you.

Hi Peter,

Are you saying you can't debug ANY projct or you can't debug
previously created projects.
Try creating a new project and see if you can debug that.

I recently installed VS2002 enerprise architecture over the top of VS2000.
This obviously upgraded the framework and now I can't debug my old projects
that were created under version 1.0 of the framework although I can debug
applications created under version 1.1 of the framework.

This is something to do (I think) with the wp_aspnet process account (of the
two sperate framework versions) or possibly the account IIS is running
under.

The security patches will probabally have closed a few vunerabilities that
have broke some of your applications.

The IIS lockdown tool (if you have run it) is a real pain for this.

Can anybody offer advice on how I can debug my projects created under 1.0 of
the framework on VS.NET 2003 I would appreciate knowing

cheers

David.

Thank you, David.

I cannot debug ANY ASP.Net projects, including the new ones. I installed
VS.Net 2003 long time ago.

This is happening to me as well, the only difference is that I had no luck
debugging ASP.NET application in the first place since I installed VS.NET
2003 on Windows 2003 Server. I assume it has something to do with the
default tightened security setting on Windows 2003 server when you promote
it to a domain controller. I have been struggling with this for months and I
really wonder if I will ever find a solution for this!

Thank you very much, Tim.

I had no luck so far. Actually, after installing these MS patches, I'm
having all kind of other security issues on my computer. I guess they are
related to my debugging problem. I may need to reinstall my OS.

I have had my portion of "fun" trying to fix debugging problems... I've

found that this document has helped me out a whole lot. One setting you may
want to make sure of is that your Internet Explorer Security is sending your
Username/password. Follow these steps:
Tools > Internet Options > Security > Internet > Custom Level... > User
Authentication - set to Automatic Logon with current username and password.
I think the default is Automatic logon only in Intranet zone.

I don't think this is safe to do:
The default setting is to have it send username/pwd "only in intranet zone"

In fact if I don't trust my intranet servers and other PCs I'd go to the
intranet zone and also change settings there on which sites are considered
my Intranet to limit those (uncheck all 3 checkboxes there at the "Sites..."
button's dialog at the Intranet zone). Plus I set Intranet zone to Medium
security and I do the same to Internet and Trusted sites zones (don't trust
any)

At least the above seem to be unrelated to my problem with ASP.net debugging
