Unable to start debugging on the web server

I have now tried to get our webservice to run with debug from within Visual Studio 2008 a long time with no success. This project worked great before and works fine on other computers, I suppose that there is something wrong with the IIS7 settings.

The main project in the solution is a WFC service that is used as a simple webservice (svc). All projects in this solution are set to use .NET framework 3.5.

When running the service with the built in IIS(VS) it seems to work just fine but as soon as the IIS7 is used a dialog appears and states:

Unable to start debugging on the web server. Check for one of the following

The following is done in IIS7 :

  1. Application created that points to the webservice
  2. DefaultAppPool (.NET framework 4 Integrated)(ApplicationPoolIdentity) is used
  3. Browsing the service works fine (It shows the WSDL)
  4. When changing the DefaultAppPool to .NET framework 2.0 it states somthing about static file problems but I can´t see anything missing from the Webservice > Handler Mappings?
  5. Enable 32-bit Application is set to true on the DefaultAppPool.
  6. I have runned aspnet_regiis from all the .net version in order
  7. Set debug="true" in the web.config

  8. I was not at first able to get the webservice starting at all to solve this I hade to comment out a couple of rows in the web.config :

    <configSections>
  <section name="dataConfiguration" type="Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data.Configuration.DatabaseSettings, Microsoft.Practices.EnterpriseLibrary.Data, Version=3.1.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=b03f5f7f11d50a3a" />

In my case I was using a "mycustomhostname.service" host name. I had to add it to the hosts file entry in "C:\windows\System32\drivers\etc"

127.0.0.1 mycustomhostname.service

If you're running under IIS, you don't "start" but attach to the running process.

In the ApplicationPool settings, disable pinging, or IIS will recycle the pool during your debug session.
