Can't debug web project

VS.Net 2003 V. 7.1.3088
..Net Framework V. 1.1.4322 SP1
Windows XP Pro SP2

I have a web project that I've copied from one machine to another. Both
machines are using the same versions of software and have the same OS
updates. I've placed the copy into the same directory as it is in on the
first machine. But when I try to run/debug the project from inside of VS on
the new machine I get the following error:
"Error while trying to run project: Unable to start debugging on the web
server. The project is not configured to be debugged."
I've gone thru the VS help that it provides for this and everything is set
how it tells me to set it. Being that this was just copied over and nothing
has been changed, I don't understand why it won't work on the new machine
when it works without a problem on the old one. Any help would be GREATLY
appreciated!!!

Thanks!!!

Hi,
Usual "suspects" for this problem:
- No Web.config or no debug entry in Web.config
- Integrated Authentication don't set on Virtual directory
- Not enough permissions for executing user
