Can't seem to "set as start page" for debugging
Hi. My first post here and first question so I'm not sure if this is the proper category. I haven't touched asp in like 7 years so i figure i've forgotten most everything. I want to get back into it because I always thought it was great fun. This weekend I set up a web server (Windows Server 2003) and installed Visual Studio 6.0 Enterprise. I've adjusted IIS to where I think it should be but memory is hazy to say the least. It took a bit but I got VS to let me start a project and I am at the point where I want to test the debugger. I think I've got something wrong though. I made a simple hello world on default.htm (baby steps first) and when I go to right click it and "set as start page" for the debugger, that option is not there. This indicates to me that I've fooboo'd somewhere. I really need a helping hand from someone so I can start writing code again. If you can assist I would be most grateful.
thanks, Ignatz |

Is you hello world test page generated with ASP or is it pure HTML, also why use the VS debugger why not just view the page in a browser and see if it works.
If your page contains ASP code then you need to call the file default.asp not htm. This is a problem with Visual Studio so you have posted in the wrong forum, i shall move it to the Visual Studio How To Forum

Thanks for replying to my completely inane question. Now I'm saying of course it's not going to debug an .htm and the cool thing is it's smart enough to know that.
I threw out that file and did as you suggested. All is well. Cheers |

I spoke too soon. Apparantly it will debug an htm (found that out launching the debugger). Whatever. That's not the path I want to go down anyway. I was just wanting to see that I'd setup things correctly. It seems I haven't though. It gives me a message: Unable to set server into correct debugging state automatically. Sheesh. If I can't figure this one out I'll be back with a new question. Thanks again for your time.
