changes in global.asa

[scroce]

how come every time i make a change in my global.asa file, the web app doesn't seem to recognize it unless i completely restart my pc. is this normal? How much water would there be in the ocean if it weren't for sponges?

I was encountering this same problem before on one of my machines at home. The reason I was getting this error as well was because my testbed was a very slow machine (P133,24MB RAM). I think that PWS wasn't updating as fast as it should be.

Unfortunately there's no steadfast answer as to why this happened, as even if I restarted PWS nothing would happen. (At work, any global.asa changes I make are recognized instantly), so I too had to restart the machine.


sorry i didn't have an answer for you, but i do feel your pain.

well, it's good to know that someone else has experienced this. I have also tried stopping pws and then starting it again, but this does nothing. Thanks for your post. How much water would there be in the ocean if it weren't for sponges?

I read somewhere that if you are playing with variables with application scope, that you do have to restart IIS (or PWS, I suppose) in order for the changes to take place --

I don't personally use them, so it's just conjecture, but I figured I'd add that tidbit for good measure.

i think i remember seeing that somewhere as well, I thought that meant just restarting the server service itself, not rebooting the entire machine How much water would there be in the ocean if it weren't for sponges?

I use the global.asa all the time at work, and the service is suppossed to restart itself anytime it detects a change in the global.asa.

on IIS 4.0 I typically get an "application restarting" message whenever I modify the global.asa...

I find that storing my connection data in the Global.asa (just the data, not the actual connections) makes life alot easier when implementing updates. Also, I use the METADATA tag in the global.asa so that all the pages in my Application get access to the ADOVBS type lib.

there's my 2 cents
