I need some help with setting up a valid user account for debugging ASP.NET projects.

I am running Windows 2000 server and VS.NET 2003. Everything works fine if I log in as the administrator. But if logged in as a user that belongs to both Debugger Users and VS Developers groups, an error was generated when attempting to debug:

Unable to Start Debugging on the Web Server. Access is denied.

There is a help button which leads to seemingly numerous possible causes, but none seems to me applicable. This is on the local server where both IIS and VS.NET are installed. If anyone knows the answer, please respond. I greatly appreciate.

Thanks,
Reiji

Reiji,

Are you trying to debug your application on our server or on your own workstation?

We do not support ASP.net debugging on our server for security and performance reasons.

Bruce,

I understand you don't support remote debugging - I read about it in your knowledgebase.

But this is about my own local server. I'd like to set it up so others (students) may logon and write/debug applications on it. I don't have server admin experiences. So if you could kindly point me to the right direction, I really appreciate it!

Thank you,
Reiji

p.s. Thank you for the response to my other question about making a subapplication. I will make a ticket later. For now I am using my domain root which works fine.

Hmmm... To be honest, I couldn't get debugging to work properly until i switch to admin user. I figured that both the webserver and client is on the local machine, using admin user should be fine..

Anyway, this might help you
