global.asa doesn't work on IIS 6

I copy a few web sites from IIS 5 to IIS 6. I declare an app pool for those sites, I copy also the global.asa file to the root folder but the IIS ignore the g开发者_C百科lobal.asa functions.

Any idea?

If you put a simple .asp page in the virtual folder, does that run? If not it could be that you need to turn on the IIS settings to be able to run classic ASP.

Follow these steps described in: http://www.simongibson.com/intranet/iis6/.

In IIS6 on win2003 you need to check the Application extension mappings for your website.

Open the Properties from the websites context menu, navigate to the Home Directory Tab, click Configuration... and in the list of Application extensions check that a mapping for the extension .asa exists.

If the mapping exists it should have the following (default) configuration values:

Executable: C:\WINDOWS\system32\inetsrv\asp.dll
Extension: .asa
Verbs: Limit to GET,HEAD,POST,TRACE
Script engine: checked
Verify that file exists: checked

Since you stated that normal .asp pages are executed without problems the script engine itself should be installed correctly on your machine.
