Profiling asp.net app: Timed out waiting for port 8013 on

willem115

I'm trying to profile a webapp running on a test server. When I try to launch the profiler it hangs for a while and then gives me the following error:
Could not start IIS.
RedGate.Profiler.Engine.Exceptions.CannotStartIisSessionException
at bs.Launch()
at RedGate.Profiler.Session.ProfilerSession.h()

Caused by:

Could not start IIS.
RedGate.Profiler.Engine.Exceptions.CannotStartIisSessionException
at bs.Launch()

Caused by:

I looked around for a solution but nothing in the knowledge base here works. The profiler version is 4.0

Is 1.2.3.4 a remote web server? ANTS Profiler can only profile a local web server.

No it's the local server. In the URL to profile textbox I put the url of the test server (http://test.example.com) and it seems to want to open a port on that IP-address (which is the external IP of the server).

(Can you edit out that IP by the way?)

Sure, IP edited out.

Just a two quick questions:
1) What OS/IIS version?
2) Are you using the memory or performance profiler?
