Ch.7 global.asa

chekming1225 · February 27th, 2005, 12:48 AM

  Hello, I have followed the instruction on p267 adding a global.asa file in the root directory:
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot
and just in case I copied this file and paste on the subdirectory: C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\TheSoccerSite
  But I still not getting the ASP part prints out on screen in IE.
  I use the global.asa from the source code.
  Thank you. I think it should be an easy question.

Hi there,

What do you get printed instead?

Did you follow the steps on page 262 to change your TheSoccerSite folder in a Virtual Directory?

If you don't follow these steps, the application does not have its own session state.

The global.asa should be in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\TheSoccerSite, not C:\Inetpub\wwwroot

HtH,

Hey I am facing the same problem
Not able to make use of gloabal.asa when it is placed in the application directory for eg C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\App1
It is working when placed in C:\Inetpub\wwwroot

But with that I cant separate global.asa for different applications

Hi vin_0x1,

As stated in this thread, you need to change App1 into a virtual directory.

To do this, open the IIS Manager, locate your site and then App1, right click it and choose Properties. On the Virtual Directory tab, click Create to change the folder into an application. That should give it its own global.asa access and session state.

Cheers,

Imar
