Hi,
I'm using ANTS Profiler Trial Version. When I click on Start the Profiler, I get a message "Machine Onlineapps is not local. ANTS Profiler cannot profile remote web applications...". I'm really surprised because this morning I had a older version of ANTS Profiler Trial Version and it worked with the same URL without any issues. I installed the newer version (Trial) and then it started giving me this error. The URL I entered is of local machine except that I cannot use Localhost or machine name but I configured my website with a different name (onlineapps). When I compile my code in .NET and launch browser for debugging, I get the same URL. Appreciate your inputs.

If you have multiple websites and need to pass in the correct host header by manually changing the address bar in ANTS Profiler, you should be able to bypass this error message by putting an alias entry in your hosts file that resolves the address to your local IP. The hosts file is kept in %SYSTEMROOT%\system32\drivers\etc. Try adding a line to this like the example below:
After adding the address in the local host, I got the following error message in the Event Log when I tried to start the profiler.

ANTS Profiler has a Windows Service back-end. This communicates on TCP port 8087. If the service does not start because something else is using this port, then you can change it by making a registry key called
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Red Gate\ANTS Profiler\Communications Port
This should be a string value with the port number inside. After changing this, you should be able to stop and restart the ANTS Profiler service.
