Start Error: Couldn't determine the IIS Site associated with

[gspotweb]

Hi there

Just downloaded and installed the trial version but when I try to start the profiler i get the following error:

(am running IIS on Windows 7)

The site I'm trying to profile is working fine and is being served by IIS7.

Error:

Couldn't determine the IIS Site associated with URL 'http://www.xxx.local/'. Please check that the URL is serviced by the instance of IIS running on this machine

Is the web site on the same machine that you are profiling (the .NET profiling API can't work remotely)?

If they are on the same machine - try using IP adress, or just localhost. I have seen some odd issues with resolving names.

[gspotweb]

The website is on the same PC as VS and ANTS

IIS7 is running several websites on this machine and I use the hosts file to provide name resolution.

I guess I could just switch off all the sites other than the one I'm testing and then just use the IP address.

[Chris.Allen]

Please try that and let me know if it works better.

OK, tried that on just the one IP address but got this:

Can you try 127.0.0.1?

[gspotweb]

Thats done it. I now have a profile for my web application

Now I have to figure out what it all means...
