Hi!
I am new to Cassini. Thank you for the product - looks grate - fast and simple to use.

I tried following the instructions to enable me to debug and run my current webprojects under Cassini - for a reason not specified here I need to run all my development under something else than IIS.
1. My web application runs fine when started with the correct path: http://localhost:1222/abcstarfandi.asmx
2. After following the basic instructions I saw that when I start my project in VS.NET my page is started with the wrong port number - resulting in an error understandably.
3. I am now trying to configure VS.NET debugging properties to tell cassini to use the right port. How do I do that? I am looking at the console help and came up with this:
UltiDevCassinWebServ
er.exe /run C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\ABC_BaseService abcstarfandi.asmx 1222
This does not work when I try it using the comand prompt console, the error I get is:
---
C:\Program Files\UltiDev\Cassini Web Server for ASP.NET 1.1>UltiDevCassinWebServ
er.exe /run C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\ABC_BaseService abcstarfandi.asmx 1222

Any hints?

Hello, thank you for a good response and a good explaination.

Here is the error I get when following the instructions on VS.NET 2003 debugging with Cassini


HTTP Error 403 - Forbidden.

Thank you, Ágúst V.

Hi, Agust.

Please try specifying start document, like WebForm1.aspx, as the third parameter in the command line after /run and <app folder>. If your application has Default.aspx file, then it should have started even without specifying the default document, and it's a bug if it didn't. If you application does not have Default.aspx, then this behavior is expected as Cassini thinks it was asked to list files in the folder - the cation that is rightfully forbidden. Please let us know if your app has default.aspx, and whether this suggestion made any difference.

All the best,
UltiDev Team.

Thanks, Ágúst.
We are glad it worked eventually. Removing the start document parameter will only work if your application has Default.aspx. Otherwise you should see good old Forbidden message.

Cheers,
UltiDev Team.
