I have a question that I am positive has been asked
before but I am unable to find the answer anywhere. I am
running Visual Studio.NET Version 2002 on XP Professional.
When I attempt to run a Web application from the IDE I
receive the following error message:
Error while trying to run project: Unable to start
debugging on the web server. Server side-error occurred
on sending debug HTTP request.

Make sure the server is operating correctly. Verify there
are no syntax errors in web.config by doing a debug.start
without debugging. You may also want to refer to the
ASP.NET and ATL server debugging topic in the online
documentation. Would you like to disable future attempts
to debug ASP.NET pages for this project?

I have checked the mapping of the path for the
aspnet_isapi.dll (per instructions from a knowledge base
article) and the file lives in the mapped directory.

C:\Windows\Microsoft.net\Framework\v.1.0.3705
\aspnet_isapi.dll

Any help is appreciated.

Visual Studio .NET? Are you using a local installation of IIS, or are you
attempting to use a remote server? What happens if you try Start Without
Debugging?
I could well be on the wrong track here, but I'm asking these questions
because the Academic Edition does not include support for remote debugging.

Actually, you've made my potential point moot by telling me you're using a
local IIS installation. There *should* be no restrictions on debugging an
ASP.NET application that way using the Academic Edition. At least, I don't
remember running into any.
To start your VB application without debugging, go to the Debug menu, then
select Start Without Debugging (the icon is a red exclamation point). The
normal start button (blue triangle) starts a VB project in debug mode.
I sorry to say that I have no other "bright ideas" on your problem right
now, but I'll dig around. Meanwhile, please let us know what happens when
you attempt to start without debugging.
