Microsoft Script Debugger

[Guest_imported]

My code does not stop on the break point ive placed in my code when I run Microsoft Script debugger. Im running on a Windows 2000 platform and have a sample .asp page viewed on the same computer. Please note: I have no real errors in this page but am trying to inspect the values of my vairbles. Ive done the following things as by my textbook:

1.Ive made my virtual directory an application from my IIS consol and also marked the App Debugging tab to 'Enable ASP server-side & client side script debugging.

2.Opened the web page using the proper notation -

http://com_dell/ASPCourse/chp9/debug.asp

from internet explorer and viewed the page.

3.Manually opended script debugger from the startup menu

4.From script debugger select the running documents screen and drill down the 'Microsoft Active ServerPages' tree node until I find my debug.asp page. Double Click it.

5.When I view my code its all highlighted in yellow so I put my first break point a vairable i want to test (F9). Then going back to internet explorer I press the refresh button.

6.Now instead of breaking at my breakpoint nothing happens. WHY ???


In addition to this Ive tried stopping and restarting my website from the IIS consul but when I do this I then get the infamous "The page cannot be found" message ? And I need to reboot my computer to view any pages from my website.

I've also deleted my scripts directory from my C:\Inetpub directory as this kept getting filled with weird files which my antivirus program said were infected.

What am I missing here ??

okay, i'll state right now that I know feck all about this whole debugging thing, but I do remember needing to put

Try to check your IIS to enable debugging both on SERVER or CLIENT side:
1.Goto IIS
2.Properties on the Default Web Site
3.Goto Home Directory tab
4.Click on the Configuration button
5.Goto App Debugging tab and then check both client and server side...
If this doesn't work try to reinstall the Front Page Server Extension. It comes with Visual Studio CD 2(Back office components) or try to download just FP Server Extension from Microsoft... ________
