I have designed and development my website using visual studio 2010 mvc3. I have copied my project from my server and after editing database server name I am trying to run my project. But it is showing error that:

Unable to start debugging on the server. The debugger cannot connect to the remote computer. This may be because the remote computer does not exit or firewall may be preventing communication to the remote computer. Please see help or assistance".

Please help me. Thanx in advance

You are starting a remote debug session. Is it your intention to debug at the server? - Stefan
No Sir.. I just want to debug my project on my local host. Please help me - Abhay Singh
One moment, I'll need to start VS 2010, in the mean time, you can check the property pages of your project (right click project and click properties). In the Debug section there should be an option to select the preferred debug location. - Stefan
Dear sir.. I am not able to get any debug section in project properties. I have spent whole day to resolve this issue. Please suggest me... - Abhay Singh
I was mistaken, the tab is called Web - Stefan
