Debugging ASP.NET Using IIS

I set up debugging in Visual Studio 2008 for IIS instead of the embedded server, so I can run URL rewriting during development (using IIRF).

It took some time to get to work (changing permissions, reinstalling the .NET framework), but it worked.

I turned off my machine, and now, when it returns to the debugger, it will not start. I am using Parallels with WinXP on iMac.

"Cannot start debugging on the Internet server. Failed to start ASP.NET debugging. Additional information may be available when the project starts without debugging."

I read a whole bunch of posts on SO, and also searched for a topic, but none of them give a working answer.

Has anyone come across this and know how to make it work?

Thanks.

So, after a lot of experiments, I managed to find a problem, well, sort of.

The main problem was that Keep-Alives were not included, which in turn prevented authentication from working properly. Thanks to this, the debugger really works. But. It will only work if I start debugging with the selected .aspx page. If I start debugging with the selected .cs page, it will not.

Strange, but at least it works!

Make sure you enable Windows authentication for your site in IIS.

In the MMC IIS snap-in, right-click on your website, select "Properties", select the "Document Security" tab, click "Change ..." in the "Anonymous Access and Authentication" field, and make sure that "Integrated Windows authentication. "

Try manually connecting the VS debugger to the w3svc.exe process.

Make sure your IIS website is not tied to any IP address. In VS 2008, the problem is related to the associated IP addresses.

I had this problem and this was because my application pool in IIS 7 was "classic" and not "integrated" using the .net 4 infrastructure.

Several times, if the debug element of the compilation element on web.config is set to false, this is the error you get.

Also, if you are not a member of the Administrators group, you usually get his error.

You tried to debug with the embedded web server>
