Debug a hosted asp.net site?

Is it possible to debug (with VS 2008) a site at my host? I have no particular control of the server, I'm only allowed to upload my website files to the server. I can however upload .pdb files etc.

The reason for me wanting this is because th开发者_运维知识库e site works fine on my dev machine, but refuses to show even the first page when deployed on the server (404-error).

Maybe a long-shot, but in my experience the "works-on-my-machine-but-returns-404-on-the-server" problem is often a consequence of that the WebServer Extension "ASP.NET v2.0.50727" is prohibited.

As Ganesh R points out, it may sound like your application never gets startet.

As for the debugging part, I don't think you would be able to pull that off...

Debugging requires that certain debugging components are installed and enabled on the server. This is highly unlikely to be the case on any production hosting platform.

Contact your hosting provider - they will usually be quite willing to help you diagnose the problem you are encountering.
