Form Projects not working on debugging

    When I create a form project and try to debug it, I dont see workflow starting in my screen (blue arrow). In the browser I get "Application Error, System administrator has been notified" But I don't see any errors anywhere. It was working fine but I don't have any clue why it is not working now. Also, I tried reinstalling symantec workflow still I face the same problem. I also checked logs in event viewer where there are no errors logged. Please help me this is very high priority for me. Thanks in advance

    Hi! You mentioned no errors anywhere, did you mean no errors in the workflow validation or errors in system logs?

    Edit: Sorry, did not read your post thoroughly. How about the Workflow Log Viewer?

    Yes MHope, there are no errors I could found anywhere. I tried Workflow Log Viewer also, nothing I find there too. I don't why is not workflow is not starting itself.

    Ok. What about if you publish this workflow or another simple test workflow to IIS? Does publishing create a working web form?

    No publishing is also not working. Also, I forgot to mention if I create workflow project that is working fine only form projects are not working.

    What is your Workflow version? In the recent Workflow Solution versions,  the ErrorPage.aspx does not show the error details anymore. But many users, among others, "AnaMan" tweaked the ErrorPage.aspx to showing the error messages again. You can find the tweaked ErrorPage.aspx here. Try replacing your projects ErrorPage.aspx with that made by Anaman and see if you can get any more info on the error.

    How does the publishing of a web forms project fail?

    I am using Workflow Solution 7.1, I tried replacing ErrorPage but still I don't see any errors.

    This is not a solution unfortunately, but a way to test the debugger engine:

    You could try changing the debugging from "Internal" to "IIS" (or vise versa). The option is in
    Workflow Manager -> Tools menu -> Preferences -> Debugging

    (https://www-secure.symantec.com/connect/forums/workflow-debugging-using-iis)

    Alas, I've never done this so I don't know how much time it takes to set up the user rights etc.

    ...

    I feel your pain, but right now I'm out of ideas. It definately smells like a debugger issue. But what broke it? a windows update? Some unfortunate server configuration? ...

    Hopefully someone else has actually experienced your issue and can offer more concrete help. Good luck!

    Now I ran into the same error situation.

    ...on our test environment Workflow Server (7.5.3001.74). The debugger loads on a web forms project but when i launch the debugger, it goes directly to an error page and log viewer says that "Session not found or timed out". interesting. The url looks valid:

    http://localhost:2550/TestProject/StartDialog.aspx?s=pBnT58DuQkSqu9T6l8L3eg

     

    Usually when I have to do something on the server, I log into the Workflow server as an admin and launch the Workflow Manager with "Run as Administrator" option. But this time I logged into the server as an admin and launched Workflow Manager with Run-As -> a non-admin service account credentials.

    I did this because the service account has access to a database so when i start the workflow with the service account, the workflow hence and the debugger also have access to that database. But the debugger ran into an exception right away.

    I temporarily added the service account to the local administrators group on the server but that did not help. So in my case it has something to do with credentials but right now I don't know what exactly.
