web server debug error

I have a project that I am trying to run from a server. When I attempt this, I get an error :

Error while trying to run project : Unable to start debugging on the web server. Would you like to disable future attempts to debug ASP.NET pages for this project?

I know this problem has been posted already and I tried the solution that I found there (running an ASP register command) and I am still getting the same result. The weird thing is that I have a different program that someone else wrote on a different computer that runs with absolutely no problems on that same web server. What could the problem be?

Seen it happen if the folder the app is in isn't a web folder(virtual folder I believe they call it)

In Administrative Tools.....Open "Internet Services Manager". Then find the folder on the left. If it's a regular folder(you'll notice the difference), Right click and select "Properties". In the dialog box, click the "Create" button. Then click ok and try again.

Unfortunately, thats not the problem. I already promoted it to a regular web app. This is so annoying. I have tried every other solution to this problem that I have found posted on the web, and nothing works. I think my server hates me. I might as well get fired. AAAAHHHHH!!!!!

Silly question but have you stopped and started IIS since you set up the Virtual Directory?

Register the aspnet_isapi.dll using regsvr32

Make sure you have debug="true" in your web.config file of the application.

hi Jonathan,
Got the solution?. I'm also getting the same error.

Error while trying to run project : Unable to start debugging on the web server. Would you like to disable future attempts to debug ASP.NET pages for this project?

if I press Yes, then the project can run afterwards. but then
the break points and debugging would not possible.:confused:

any ideas?
