I have irritating problem.
I have visual studio 2005 + WSS 3.0 extensions. i'm tring to create a
web part project as follows:

1) I've created 'Web Part' solution.
2) i've changed the url in the project properties>>debug tab to the
share point default site
(http://il-moss-dev:6680/_layouts/MySite.aspx - is it ok?).

3) when i'm pressing F5, there is an error: No SharePoint Site exists
at the specified URL

How can i solve this??

Tnx in advance, Eran Hefer.

I am having this same issue, and i received no help on my post about
this. hopefully someone can help with this... There are walk throughs
out there for the extensions, but they are all very vague and offer no
troubleshooting help. I am chalking it up to being a "beta" release of
the extensions.

I also couldn't get it to work locally on my PC, i had to install
Visual Studio on the server to get the SharePoint Solutions property
tab to work. I would rather not do development work on the server, can
anyone shed light on this issue as well?

Are you running SharePoint on port 80? It didn't work for me until I
switched it to the default IP address and port 80.

I have it on port 80 using a host header, and on another port for
accessing it using the netbios name:port. I will check the IP Address
with port 80. If thats it then thats horrible, hopefully that gets
changed in the final release of the tools.

I have the same issue.

My environment (all on my local box):

Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 v8.0.50727.41
Microsoft .NET Framework v2.0.50727
Visual Studio 2005 Extensions for Windows SharePoint Services
v12.0.4630.1000
WSS 3.0 (Installed on Port 80)

I followed the instructions here:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa973249.aspx

And when I press F5 I get the following error in the Error List:
"No SharePoint Site exists at the specified URL."

So I went to Google and searched for that text and found this (Which
I'm sure you have all tried):
http://blogs.msdn.com/karthick/archive/2006/11/30/wss-3-0-getting-no-sharepoint-site-exists-at-the-specified-url-visual-studio-2005-extensions-for-sharepoint.aspx

I've tried changing the "Start browser with URL" field to
http://localhost/default.aspx
http://localhost/
http://localhost:80/default.aspx
http://localhost:80/
And my local IP address.

There was a suggestion that you need to enable ASP debugging on your
Sharepoint server. To do this:
Open up Computer Management. (Right click on My Computer and select
Manage)
Open Computer Managerment (Local) > Services and Applications >
Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager > Web Site > Sharepoint -
80

Right click on "Sharepoint - 80"
Select "Properties"
Select "Home Directory" tab
Click the "Configuration..." button
Select "Debugging" tab

And you will be provided options to enable debugging for client and
server side.

None of the above worked.

I would greatly appreciate it if anyone could find any faults in
anything which I have done and/or have a solution to this issue. But
considering the current version of VSEWSS is only CTP I could only
assume that this is a bug.
