Unable to start debugging on the web server

I have my computer setup as an IIS server. Now I have been able to develop locally on this machine as I have Visual Studio and SQL SErver on this machine as well.

Now my boss would also like to create development pages using this machine as the host server.

The problem is now that when he creates a web application in visual studio and tries to run it he gets:

Error while trying to run project: Unable to start debugging on the web server. The project is not configured to be debugged.

Can anyone please tell me what am i doing wrong?

Thanks again.

You have to install the debugging tools on the server machine. They are one one of the visual studio.net disks, like disk 5 or 6, should say something about tools.

Cool, I will definetly try that.

But I have a question, I am not trying to be sarcastic or anything;
How come debugging works from that machine when developing locally but not remotely?

You have Visual Studio installed on your machine, which has the development debugging tools already install when you installed the program.

The server machine most likely does not and uses the server debugging tools from the tools disk to run your program.

It turns out that that wasn't it. I had to go to the IIS Manager, choose the project and go to the properties of that project and enable server-side debugging and client-side debugging. After that it was just a matter of setting up rights for the other developer.

Thanks though for your help.

There could be many possible solution for this based on your situation you have. I think you can try this post. Having solution for all possible cause for this.
