debuggingiisiis-7netwindows
I am running iis7 on my windows machine for testing purposes. Now I need to have access to the debugger so when something happens I can walk through it.
Yet when I put debug lines on my site nothing happens. So I am guessing I need more stuff setup to make debugging to work.
Everything is on the same machine. I have iis 7 on the same machine setup and I have Visual studios setup on my machine.
On the Web Server, make sure you've created Web Sites in IIS and that they have different host headers (click on Advanced and you'll see where you can add them). For site #1, put mysite1.com, for site #2, put mysite2.com or whatever.
Now on your workstation, edit your hosts file (C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts) and add your web sites and IP address pairs like such:
192.168.2.3 mysite1.com
192.168.2.3 mysite2.com
Hope this isn't over simplistic. There are website logs, which log HTTP and such request. If do this on a site level, you'll need to enable that, done very simply through IIS7 by going to site in features views, open logging, and click enable on the right.
For IIS6: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/313437
There are also logs generated by IIS that are put into the Application Log of the server dealing w/ .Net and such, and some in the system log dealing with app pools, the actual .exes of the worker processes. If you have Server 2008, it's really easy to drill down to view those logs. Go into Server Manager, Roles, Web Server and box is a pre-filter log for your viewing pleasure.

Check that you have debugging enabled in your web.config.
...and I'm assuming you're running it through the debugger in vs.net, right?
