global.asax issue

[Tem]

I've been stuck on this error for days.
I use global.asax to do url rewrite. which works fine on one server but not
the other. they are both windows server 2003 R2 IIS6.

if I do
http://test.com/photo/123
which would rewrite to http://test.com/photo/default.aspx?photo=123

on the server that doesn't work, it gives me a 404 error

but if I go and create a 123 folder under photo and a blank default.aspx, it
would work and display the correct page.
so this means global.asax is not being triggered

There must be a setting somewhere
Please help

Make sure the folder the global.asax is sitting in is configured as an
application in IIS, and that there is a web.config in the folder with it.

Check IIS Configuration settings and check that IIS isn't checking for
existence of the page!!!!

I don't know how to do for a page without extension like yours, but if you
map something like "123.do" and check the extension ".do" configuration in
IIS -Properties -Applcation Configuration -mappings ... you'll find a
checkbox "Check that file exists" in your ".do" mapping configuration.

>
http://test.com/photo123.aspx

which would rewrite to...

http://test.com/photo/default.aspx?photo=123

That would be fairly easy, and should work without problem.

You have to Check again that you haven't the checkBox "Check that file
exists" checked in iis mapping configuration. I had same problems with
Monorail Deployment in production environment !

If your problem is to redirect extensionless urls, check

"check file exists" is turn off for .aspx which is the default setting
