PRB: Can't Attach to Application 'Microsoft Active Server Pages' (202040)


The information in this article applies to:

  • Microsoft Visual InterDev 6.0
This article was previously published under Q202040

SYMPTOMS

When debugging an Active Server Pages (ASP) Web application you may receive the following error:

Can't attach to application 'Microsoft Active Server Pages (XXX)' on machine '<machinename>'. Do you want to continue anyway?

CAUSE

This error occurs when more than one remote debugging session has been started on the same server. Only one user can use remote debugging on a server at a time.

RESOLUTION

If multiple debugging sessions are required then you will need to use local server debugging rather than remote debugging. In this scenario, users would run a local copy of Internet Information Server (IIS) on their Windows NT development computer to debug their Web pages while in Local Mode before checking them into the master Web project.

STATUS

This behavior is by design.
