Global.asa not firing

[qaz]

For some reason my global.asa file is not firing. I have it located in the
root of my website (e.g., wwwroot\mywebsi te\global.asa) and I have the web
site configured as an "applicatio n" in IIS. When I modified the file I also
stopped and restarted the web server.

Can anyone give me some ideas as to why it is not firing?

Thanks

Well, what evidence do you have thatit is not firing? What method is the
"not firing" occuring in? What is the code in that method?

Have you seen http://www.aspfaq.com/2076 and http://www.aspfaq.com/2078 ?

My evidence is pretty good. In Application_OnS tart I created an application
variable named Application("te st") and set it equal to "Applicatio n". In
Session_OnStart I set a session variable called session("test") = "Session".
I put response.write statements in test.asp and fired the page.

Make sure mywebsite is setup as an application, and not a subdirectory of
the parent web. If it is a subdirectory, the root global.asa will fire
instead.

Make sure session cookies are enabled in your browser - Tools, Internet
Options, Privacy, Advanced, check the box "Always allow session cookies"

If you are using IE 5.5 or IE 6.0, and your local server name has an
underscore or other non-alphanumeric character (other than a dash) in the
name, then cookies will not work correctly. One workaround is to access the
machine by IP address; others include renaming the server or at least adding
an entry to the clients' hosts files, or alter your local DNS/WINS, or add a
new host header to the web server, with a more friendly name. For more info,
search http://msdn.microsoft.com/ for Q312461 and Q316112.

Make sure you haven't disabled session state in Internet Services Manager,
and that it has an appropriate timeout value:
Open the Internet Services Manager MMC tool, and expand 'Web Sites'
Right-click 'Default Web Site' or the application in question, and select
'Properties'
On the 'Home Directory' tab, click the 'Configuration. ..' button
On the 'Options' tab, make sure 'Enable session state' is checked and that
the timeout value (in minutes) is sufficient.
Also, try removing and re-creating the application in the Internet Services
Manager MMC tool. this often fixes problems like this.

Sorry, I don't know what you are talking about. What is
application("st arted")?

Very helpful response - unfortunately I still have the problem. Session
cookies are enabled in the browser (I use them successfully on other pages);
I have no "funny" characters in the local server name; Session State is
enabled in internet services manager and timeout is 20 min; I deleted the
website in IIS (v6) and recreated it. Ugh! It still does not fire
global.asa.

Below is a complete copy of my global.asa file, if that would help:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE=VBScri pt RUNAT=Server>
'============== =============== =============== =============== ============
Sub Application_OnS tart

Application.Loc k
Application("Cu rrentUsers") = 0
Application("te st") = "Applicatio n"
Application.Unl ock

End Sub
'============== =============== =============== =============== ============
Sub Session_OnStart

Application("Cu rrentUsers") = Application("Cu rrentUsers") + 1

session("test") = "Session"

session("IDUser ") = 0

'--- force all users to begin on home page ---
response.redire ct "default.as p"
End Sub
'============== =============== =============== =============== =============== =
====
Sub Session_OnEnd
Application("Cu rrentUsers") = Application("Cu rrentUsers") - 1
End Sub
'============== =============== =============== =============== =============== =
====
Sub Application_OnE nd

End Sub
</SCRIPT>

Wow, this content looks familiar. If you're going to post others' content
as if it were your own, you would show much more respect if you either cite
the source, or take the time to put it into your own words.

Hi

My apologies, I have bunch of faq stuff in a macro file, I hadn't realised
it came from aspfaq originally. . Sometimes the users I deal with don't
have internet access and so it is best to give them the answer directly.
