Unable to start debugging on the Web Server. Visual Studio 2008

Question

Hi,

I am running visual studio 2008 on vista business 64-bit. I am getting the following exception when I try to debug against IIS.

"Unable to start debugging on the web server. The object identifier does not represent a valid object".

IIS and Visual Studio are on the same box.

I've tried adding Windows Authentication but no luck (my app requires forms authentication, fyi).

Any thoughts? I have a binding on the Web Site. The IIS app is a Web SIte not a virtual directly.

Thanks!

Answer 1

Maybe you are facing this know issue?

Answer 2

Is your pc and the webserver on the same Windows domain? If not, or there is a DMZ between your pc and the web server you could experience problems unless you've explicitly setup trust between the machines.

Answer 3

You have switch on Windows Authentication in IIS
