BUG: Application Roots Are Not Reconfigured (190752)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Visual InterDev 6.0
This article was previously published under Q190752 SYMPTOMS
A Web application does not run correctly after reinstalling Internet
Information Server (IIS) 4.0 or 5.0 or manually removing the Web's application
root. Without an application root, IIS will not run the Global.asa file,
which typically causes data connection and application/session state
errors.
CAUSE
Visual InterDev only configures an IIS 4.0 or 5.0 application root when it creates
a new Web project on an existing or new Web. This means that if the
application root is removed either by using the Internet Service Manager,
or uninstalling IIS 4.0 or 5.0 and reinstalling it, the Web application will not
run correctly the next time you open your Web project.
RESOLUTION
There are a couple of workarounds to this problem:
Use the Internet Service Manager on the Web server that the Web application
is running on to explicitly mark the Web application with an application
root.
-or-
Use Visual InterDev to create a new Web project on that Web application.
This will cause Visual InterDev to configure the application root for it.
STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed this to be a bug in the Microsoft products listed
at the beginning of this article. We are researching this bug and will post
new information here in the Microsoft Knowledge Base as it becomes
available.
