Debugging ASP

[rondavid]

Hello everyone. I have IIS running on my machine and I am using MS InterDev to write my asp. Can someone tell me how I can debug my asp code.

Make sure that in your IIS you have allowed for ASP debugging. Then, in InterDev, change to local mode (Project, Web Project, Working Mode, Local), and then you should be able to start the application. Be sure to have set a start page and when it prompts that first error message, just click on OK to get past it and you should be good to go.

All this is from memory, so if you have any other problems, just post again. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply but Im new to all this. I have installed IIS and I enabled debugging now Im creating a new project in interdev and its asking for the server name, usually I would put ??????.com but what do I put in this case since I want to test my pages locally.

rondavid, i think the easiest way to debug is using response.write and response.end

Semi-on-topic, I prefer Javascript ASP to VBScript ASP in terms on error handling facilities ..

Ron,

I think this post might be handled better in the Visual InterDev forum (you can search for it up at the top). However, it appears that your problem is not so much debugging at the moment as it is you simply trying to create a new application. When it is asking you for the server name, I believe that you need to enter the server that you have setup in your IIS. So, when you reach that screen, does it give you a list of servers from which to choose? If so, choose the server that you wish to connect to.

If you do not have a choice, then somewhere along the line you may not have set your IIS up correctly and that would again be a post probably better in the InterDev or IIS forums. Hope this helps.
