ASP application. All valid browser scripts (JavaScript, VBScript, JScript, PerlScript, etc.) can be used within Global.asa.

The Global.asa file can contain only the following:

Application events
Session events
<object> declarations
TypeLibrary declarations
the #include directive
Note: The Global.asa file must be stored in the root directory of the ASP application, and each application can only have one Global.asa file.
——————————————————————————–

Events in Global.asa
In Global.asa you can tell the application and session objects what to do when the application/session starts and what to do when the

application/session ends. The code for this is placed in event handlers. The Global.asa file can contain four types of events:

Application_OnStart – This event occurs when the FIRST user calls the first page from an ASP application. This event occurs after the Web

server is restarted or after the Global.asa file is edited. The “Session_OnStart” event occurs immediately after this event.
Session_OnStart – This event occurs EVERY time a NEW user requests his or her first page in the ASP application.

Session_OnEnd – This event occurs EVERY time a user ends a session. A user ends a session after a page has not been requested by the

user for a specified time (by default this is 20 minutes).

Application_OnEnd – This event occurs after the LAST user has ended the session. Typically, this event occurs when a Web server stops. This

procedure is used to clean up settings after the Application stops, like delete records or write information to text files.

A Global.asa file could look something like this:

<script language=”vbscript” runat=”server”>sub Application_OnStart
””some code
end subsub Application_OnEnd
””some code
end subsub Session_OnStart
””some code
end subsub Session_OnEnd
””some code
end sub</script>

Note: We cannot use the ASP script delimiters (<% and %>) to insert scripts in the Global.asa file, we will have to put the subroutines inside the

HTML <script> tag.

NOTE: If you enable this option, do not enable Execute permissions in the parent directories. This is to prevent a script in a subdirectory from running an unauthorized program in a parent directory.
9. In the Default ASP language box, type the language that you want to use. This box specifies the language that is used to process commands within the ASP delimiters (<% and %>). Note that VBScript is the default ASP language.

NOTE: You can override the default language in your ASP page by using the <%@LANGUAGE%> directive.
10. In the ASP Script timeout box, type the length of time that want the ASP to allow a script to run.

NOTE: You can set the timout period to a value between 1 and 2147483647.
11. Click OK twice to save your changes and return to the Internet Information Services window.
12. Quit IIS.

Right-click the directory that you want to use as the application starting point, and then click Properties.

NOTE: You can use the home directory of a Web site as the application starting point.

In the directory name Properties dialog box (where directory name is the name of the directory that you selected), do one of the following:

Under Application Settings, click Create.

NOTE: If the Create button is not present, a default application has already been specified. In this case, click Remove to remove the default application, and then click Create.

In the Execute Permissions list, click the level of permissions that you want to give this application. For example, for ASP scripts or Internet Database Connector (IDC) scripts, click Scripts only.

NOTE: The Scripts only option is more secure than the Scripts and Executables option.

Every process that hosts ASP will have its own ASP Template and Script Engine Caches. By default that is just one process because ASP applications run at medium isolation in the pooled Dllhost process.

When ASP gets a request for a page, it checks the ASP Template Cache first. If there’s an instance of that page cached there, the request is forwarded to the Script Engine Cache. If the requested page is not in the Template Cache, it is compiled into a template and forwarded to the ASP Script Engine Cache. If an instance of the page is cached in the Script Engine Cache and it is ready to run, that engine is run. Failing that, if there is an instance of the page that is already executing, ASP clones that running engine and executes the clone. This avoids the cost of re-parsing the template into byte code. If there is no script engine associated with the page, ASP takes the precompiled template from the ASP Template Cache, creates a new script engine and has it compile the template into byte code, and then executes it. When a page finishes executing, the script engine is put at the head of the free list. If the free list has grown larger than AspScriptEngineCacheMax, the least-recently used script engine is destroyed. A hit in the script engine cache means that ASP can avoid recompiling the template into byte code.

IIS Directories

IIS installs the following directories:
\InetPub
systemroot\Help\IISHelp
systemroot\System32\InetSrv
systemroot\System32\InetSrv\MetaBack

These directories contain user content and cannot be moved. You can, however, select the location of your Wwwroot and Ftproot directories at installation by using a script during unattended setup. If you uninstall IIS, the IISHelp directory is removed. The InetPub and InetSrv directories remain on your computer.

IIS Initial Configuration Backup

When you first install IIS, a backup of the initial metabase configuration is automatically created in the systemroot\System32\InetSrv\MetaBack directory. This backup can be used to restore the IIS configuration to its state immediately following IIS installation. This is a useful tool for solving metabase corruption or configuration problems, and can help you recover a known good configuration without needing to reinstall IIS. This backup is not password protected, and can only be used to restore settings on the system on which it was created.
