visual studio .net debugging : Can't find aspnet_wp in list of processes.

Windows XP SP2, VS 2003, IIS 5.1, IE 6.0, Symantec AV 9.0.0.xxx

I've been changing things around (and have re-installed IIS and VS 2003) and
am now at the point where I have things working--except that I cannot debug
IIS Server processes of ASP.NET anymore. When, in VS 2003, I select "Debug"
and then "Processes...." I get the list that appears to be the same as
before, except that I don't see the "aspnet_wp" process. Also, when my
application throws an exception and I get the dialog box for debugging, it
will attach to an ASP script, but not delve into the .NET code that is called
by the ASP script.

And I've also brought up a data service page which before would always start
up the aspnet_wp process if I had just restarted IIS. It sure seems to me
like there's just some little setting somewhere that's missing.

Any and all ideas welcome!

Thanks,

I've narrowed this down a bit. When I start up the Windows Task Manager and
then watch it while I navigate IE to an ASP.NET page on the local system, I
can see the "aspnet_wp.exe" process appear during the time it takes to
generate the page. Once the page is generated, the "aspnet_wp.exe" process
goes away.

So apparently, something isn't configured properly anymore in IIS?

I found that the "Enable ASP server-side debugging" box was not checked in
IIS configuration, the web site properties, "Home Directory" tab,
"Configuration", "Debugging" tab. I checked it, restarted IIS and still no
go.

Hi!

Do you see inetinfo.exe and if so, does attaching to that allow you to debug your web service correctly?

Thanks,
D.V.
