Hi Joe,

Can you send me an email with more details about the issue you are seeing? Also - can you check:

1) The directory pointing to the application root is not marked as an "application" within IIS. Go into the IIS Admin tool and make sure it is configured as an app.

2) Make sure that the Global.asax file was deployed on the remote server. It could be that the file is not being copied - in which case the Global.asax events won't fire.

Thanks,

Scott

Does anybody have a workaround for the Global.asax bug causing event code not to execute at all in some Windows Server 2003 configurations? This bug is causing me major grief on a production site.

Hi Kieran,

Usually that error can happen because of one of two things:

1) The directory pointing to the application root is not marked as an "application" within IIS. Go into the IIS Admin tool and make sure it is configured as an app.

2) Make sure that the Global.asax file was deployed on the remote server. It could be that the file is not being copied - in which case the Global.asax events won't fire.

Can you check these two steps and see if it fixes the problem? If not, can you send me email and I can help further.

Thanks,

Scott

Hi Scott,

Was there ever a solution to the global.asax.cs code not running on a production Server 2003 environment? I have global.asax in the root of my application and global.asax.cs in the app_code folder, locally this works fine though when deployed to production it fails to run.

Was there a common problem with the other peoples issues above?

Many Thanks

Kieran

Hi Neek,

If you reference an assembly from the GAC, then it won't be copied into your \bin directory.

Hope this helps,

Scott

Hi Anonymous,

If you want to send me email about this question, I can loop someone in on the project team who might be able to best answer this.

Thanks,

Why is the checkbox for "Create Directory for Solution" always greyed out? It's checked and I don't want it checked. I am simply going to add a new .sln to a root directory of mine then start adding back in some existing web projects and directories to it later and it keeps creating a folder for me due to this option that's not accessible for me to uncheck.

Greetings,

I just converted a project to WAP and I am having the Global.asax issue. On my test/dev machine, using VS2005 with XP - everything works great inside of my Global.asax - when publish and send up the wire to my Windows 2k3 box - none of my Global.asax events fire (Application_Start, Session_Start, Application_BeginRequest to name a few).

I have tried to play around with the access modifiers - marking them protected from private, then public from protected with no luck.

I found an article stating to name them with the "On" (i.e. Application_Start rename to Application_OnStart) that should do the trick - but no luck - works on my dev machine, does not work on my production machine.

This is a disappointing development as everything was working so great until this point. Switching back to the old project format since this issue breaks my web app 100%...
