I am using DNN, and when I preview my project, I get this message:  "Error while trying to run project: Unable to start debuggin on the web server, the project is not configured to be debugged."

But, it does connect to the web server when I run .NET.  I have no idea where I screwed up the install and I will pay someone to look at my PC in person and troubleshoot the problem.  Metro DC/ Baltimore area.
I followed all the instructions on the documentation, set up the IIS, the DB, the web.config. 

This should make any project to debug in DNN

1 ) Right-click the DotNetNuke project in the solution explorer and select on "Set As StartUp Project"

2 ) Right-click the Default.aspx file under the DotNetNuke project root and select "Set As Start Page"

3 ) In the web.config file find and set debug=true. 

Hi

your question is a bit vauge to me are u trying to debug in VS2003 or somthing else ?
It sounds like u have not set debug="true" in the web.config  file but could do with a bit more specific info.

Hope this hleps a little

 

Rajiv Nair,

your fix worked, but now I have arrived at a new problem:

I love those 105+  Errors...

Just Rebuild entire DotNetNuke solution.

Have a nice weekend...

Thanks a lot Rajiv,

Your solution worked for me.
