- Microsoft Internet Information Server version 4.0

SYMPTOMS
========
If you enable Active Server Pages (ASP) server-side script debugging in the Web
site configuration and ASP encounters a scripting error, Internet Information
Services (IIS) may hang, but no error messages are sent to the client browser.
NOTE: This behavior may occur if you have installed the Microsoft Script Debugger
or Microsoft Visual Interdev on a server that is running Microsoft IIS 4.0 or
5.0 in a development environment.
CAUSE
=====
This behavior occurs because you have not properly configured the default
debugger that is in use.
RESOLUTION
==========
To resolve this behavior, make the additional configurations that are outlined
in the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
Q281427 PRB: Microsoft Script Debugger Does Not Break at Error
STATUS
======
This behavior is by design.
MORE INFORMATION
================
You should not enable the Enable Server-Side Script Debugging property on a
production environment.
The enabling of server-side script debugging causes ASP to run in a single
threaded mode; therefore, one thread at a time only executes for each
application. Even if you properly configure the Microsoft Script Debugger, this
dramatically affects the Web server performance.
