Description of the Microsoft Windows registry
Consider the following scenario:
- You have an Active Server Pages (ASP) Web application on a
Web server that is running Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS)
6.0.
- You locate the content for the ASP Web application on a
remote Universal Naming Convention (UNC) share.
- You set the AspEnableApplicationRestart property to true in the ASP Web application.
When you change the Global.asa file, the ASP Web
application does not restart automatically. If you move the content of the ASP
Web application to the local computer, the ASP Web application restarts
automatically.
This problem occurs because the default settings for
directory monitoring and for file change notification for
UNC shares are not turned on in IIS 6.0.
Warning Serious problems might occur if you modify the registry
incorrectly by using Registry Editor or by using another method. These problems
might require that you reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot
guarantee that these problems can be solved. Modify the registry at your own
risk.
To resolve this problem, enable the directory monitoring and file change
notification settings. To do this, follow these steps:
- Click Start, click Run,
type regedit, and then click OK.
- Locate and then right-click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\Inetinfo\Parameters
- Point to New, and then click DWORD
value.
- Type DoDirMonitoringForUNC as the
name of the new registry entry.
- Double-click DoDirMonitoringForUNC, type
1 in the Value data box, and then click
OK.
- Locate and then right-click the following registry subkey:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\ASP\Parameters
- Point to New, and then click DWORD
value.
- Type EnableChangeNotificationForUNC
as the name of the new registry entry.
- Double-click
EnableChangeNotificationForUNC, type 1
in the Value data box, and then click OK.
- Exit Registry Editor.
