I am running visual studio 2008 on vista business 64-bit. I am getting the following exception when I try to debug against IIS.
"Unable to start debugging on the web server. The object identifier does not represent a valid object".
IIS and Visual Studio are on the same box.
I've tried adding Windows Authentication but no luck (my app requires forms authentication, fyi).
Any thoughts? I have a binding on the Web Site. The IIS app is a Web SIte not a virtual directly.
Thanks!
You have switch on Windows Authentication in IIS
Is your pc and the webserver on the same Windows domain? If not, or there is a DMZ between your pc and the web server you could experience problems unless you've explicitly setup trust between the machines.
Go to IIS right click on your project go to Asp.Net tab change the version to your current verion you are using.
This problem comes when you are using a higher version and decided to switch to a lower version and vice versa changing to your version might solve the problem

I am setting up my new workstation (Windows 10 Pro) with my ASP.NET projects with Visual Studio 2017. I have enabled local IIS and the project throws a timeout error while trying to debug the project.
It is not failing 100% of the time though, mostly fails but when it runs it is taking longer than expected to give the startup page. The error thrown is
Unable to start debugging on the web server. The operation has timed out
I did notice that the IIS worker process (w3wp.exe) was only executed in the completed console output. So it looks like the IIS worker process is not always being executed.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thank you!
The project runs successfully on an old workstation (Windows 10 Edu) with Visual Studio 2017. App pool settings has been compared between both and it seems same. IIS reset is tried as well. Visual studio has been repaired and IIS local has been restarted as well (unchecking and enabling followed by restarting the machine). Default app pool is used and its been recycled as well. Nothing worked!
Possibly the Visual Studio project version does not match the ASP.NET configured application pool. Update the ASP.NET version in the application pool and restart it.
Make sure you have the correct version of ASP.NET installed on IIS. A version mismatch between ASP.NET in IIS and the Visual Studio project can cause this issue. May need to set the framework version in web.config. To install ASP.NET on IIS, use the Web Platform Installer (WebPI).
If the issue is not related to IIS configuration, try the following steps:
Restart Visual Studio with administrator privileges and try again.
For example, using the Web to deploy some ASP.NET debugging scenarios that require elevated Visual Studio privileges.
If you are running multiple instances of Visual Studio, reopen your project in one instance of Visual Studio (with administrator privileges) and try again.
If using a HOSTS file with a local address, try using the loopback address instead of the computer's IP address.
If not using a local address, make sure the HOSTS file contains the same project URL as in the project properties, Properties > Web > Server or Properties > Debug, depending on the project type.

please try to give me some advice or solutions about migrating my application from win 2003 to win 2008(32bit). The problem was I keep getting the error 'ActiveX can't create object' error when starting an standard application. I can't get to login in my website maybe because it cannot create the COM+ application. When viewing the event log, there seems to be a warning coming from the DistributedCOM.
I've done the following so far in setting up the win 2008 server. Somehow I do the same when setting up in win 2003 which works fine.
Configured website in IIS
Installed VB6 DLL Application in COM+ services
Checked the 'Allow IIS Intrinsic Properties' checkbox in COM+ services
Maybe you have encountered this so I'll try my luck and hope that I get the solution.
You may need to run your application in 32-Bit mode.
Try this:
IIS Manager->
->
Application Pools->
->
Advanced Settings):
"Enable 32-bit Applications" >> True

How to guide for getting a classic asp application working under IIS 7.0
We are using Visual Studio 2008 on IIS 7, and on some machines we are having trouble getting Visual Studio to recognize our website as an IIS website. On most machines it is configured properly, displaying and running under http://localhost/websitename. But on a couple of machines - using the same solution file - it loads it as a directory/asp.net site: in VS it appears as c:...\foldername, and when running it, it comes up as http://localhost:randomportnumber/websitename.
We tried removing and then re-adding the site through the File-> Open Website-> Local IIS, but when we select the site it automatically changes it to a asp.net site.
Thanks in advance.
In the properties of the project, you can specify whether or not to use IIS or the built-in ASP.NET server.
When you debug a website and you see the odd port number after local, you are running the visual studio web server Cassini and not through IIS.
You can configure this when you go to property settings on your website.
After installing service pack 1 for Visual Studio 2010 cannot create web site in IIS. Here is error message:
---------------------------
Microsoft Visual Studio
---------------------------
Configuring Web http://localhost/MyWebSite for ASP.NET 3.5 failed.
You must manuallyconfigure this site for ASP.NET 3.5 in order for
the site to run correctly. Visual Studio cannot detect whether this
virtual root has been configured for use with ASP.NET 2.0. The likely
cause is that you do not have sufficient priviledges to access the
IIS metabase. You may need to manually configure this site for
ASP.NET 2.0 in order for your site to run correctly.

Does anybody know how to fix it ? Thanks!
P.S. I'm using windows7 x64.
Have you tried run Visual Studio with "Run As Administrator" from right click?
This happened to me when I deleted the default application pool.
Thanks to a Microsoft Connect report, I was able to solve this by choosing a new default application pool under the "Web Site Defaults" properties of the Sites node in the IIS 7 Manager tree.
Try changing the .Net version your Application Pool is using.
Open IIS Manager from Administrative Tools.
Select Application Pools on the left.
On the right, double click 'DefaultAppPool' (or whichever you may have created)
Under .Net Framework Version select v3.5.
Click OK and restart IIS.
I don't know if you have to restart IIS or not, but it won't hurt.
I found the answer here:

IIS stores a config file on your personal drive. At my company our shared drive was down for maintenance and I was getting this error. Once the drive came back online VS.NET started working again.
How do other people debug HTTPS sites from Visual Studio 2008? This link seems to indicate that Visual Studio's built in web server does not support HTTPS, but there must be some way to debug these sites, right? If not the integrated server, can IIS7 be set as the debugging web server?
Yes, you may set IIS as the debugging server by clicking Properties on the project, (waiting patiently while it slowly loads), then go to the Web tab and choose Use IIS Web server instead of Use Visual Studio Development Server.
-- Edit
More generally, to answer the question, I typically just disable SSL while debugging. It's rare that I need to test how I'm dealing with things via SSL, and depending on how I'm creating the SSL links, it can be modified pretty simply, with an #if DEBUG.
