When I press F5 in Visual Studio 2005 to run my Web application in debug mode,  it complains that Web server is not configured properly. What should I do the enble debug under Vista Business IIS 7.0 environment with Visual Studio 2005?

The Web application is able to run in Internet browser.

 Thanks,

Have you installed the latest Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 Update for Windows Vista?

Thanks for response, Steve. I did install Visual Studio 2005 Service Pack 1 update for Windows Vista.

It seems IIS 7.0 requires Integrated Window Authentication for debug. Don't know how to configure it in IIS 7. My Web application (which is similar with DotNetNuke portal, based on IBuySpy portal, migrated from Visual Studio 2003 Web application) is using Forms authentication. Even I change IIS 7.0 authentication configuration to Windows authentication (it changes my Web.config automatically) , it still complains the authentication communication error with Web server when I try to run debug.

There was no trouble to run debug in IIS 6 and Visual Studio 2003 environment.

Hi Jerome,

Hi, Benson

Thanks for your info. It is very helpful. However, I still has issue for F5 debug on IIS7 Vista. 

I have configured the IIS 7 to use Windows Authentication and change my Web.config to use Windows authentication as well,  however, the debug kept complainning that the Windows authentication was not turned on. I have tried different ways, and could not pass this step.

So I use manual debug by attaching w3wp.exe process to my application. It works fine at first time. But after I rebuilt my application, the break points stop working and the message is that symbols were not loaded.

What is missing to rebuilding the application for manual  debug?

Thanks,

Jerome 

Hi Jerome,

were you able to fix this issue?

Thanks,

No. Did you encounter same issue? Manual debug or F5 debug?
