unable to start debugging on the server

The Eagle

I have installed on my laptop both:VS2003,VS2005.

When I run any VS 2003 application I got the error:

Error while trying to run project:unable to start debugging on the server.You dont have permission to debug the server.Verify that you are a member of the 'Debugger Users' group on the server.

But I have checked the Computer Management and I found the my account(an administrator account) is on of the mentioned group.

I tried many solutions for many days but it is no use.

I hope that someone could help.

Hello Eagle:

Are you debugging an ASP.NET project

Could you please check the IE setting to make sure that the option - 'automatically send windows credentials to servers' is selected.

Please Make sure that ¡°Integrated Windows Authentication¡± is enabled

Good luck.

Thank you for your respond...

Yes Iam debugging an asp.net project.

May you tell me where could I find the setting : 'automatically send windows credentials to servers'

About ¡°Integrated Windows Authentication¡± it is enabled.

May you tell me how to make sure that your user account has full control on the directory of the IIS

I forgot to tell you that my asp.net2 applications are working whithout facing this problem.

Hello Eagle:

According to your words it seems that the problem is not caused by credentials.

Sorry for my mistake.

You may try to start the VS 2003 with administrator account explicitly to see if the problem still exists:

Right click the VS 2003 shortcut. Select ¡®Run as¡¯ menu. Select admin account.


About automatically send credential to server. But it seems that you need not to do it.

You could mark your host as a trusted site (Tools -> Internet Options -> Security), and then tell IE to send credentials automatically to sites in the trusted zone. With Trusted Zones highlighted in the tab, click "Custom Level". Scroll down to the bottom and select "automatic login with current username and password".

Hi..

You said:

" You could mark your host as a trusted site (Tools -> Internet Options -> Security), and then tell IE to send credentials automatically to sites in the trusted zone. With Trusted Zones highlighted in the tab, click "Custom Level". Scroll down to the bottom and select "automatic login with current username and password"."

I have try it and it solved my problem.May you explain to me what does this setting mean and is it safe(for security) and about the untrusted websites what the value of this setting should be Is it the same value:"automatic login with current username and password".

Hello Eagle:

I am glad to see you resolved your problem.

It is security setting affecting asp.net debug. I am sorry I am not so familiar with asp.net. .

It is safe because your host of cause should be a trusted site.

Thanks.
