ASP with Global.asa file

I am having one problem that I have researched and cannot figure out. The
following is my scenario.

I have part of a website located in the non-secure HTTP folder and the
shopping cart part located in the secure HTTPS area.

I have a database located in the secure HTTPS area.

I am using the global.asa file to set the path where the database is located
(which is in the secure HTTPS folder of the site)

My normal pages in the non-secure folder HTTP can access the database no
problem, by altering the vPath = but, the few pages I have in the secure
folder HTTPS cannot access the database, no matter what I try to do with the
Global.asa file I have in the HTTPS folder. It seems to be finding the
Global.asa file in the non-secure folder. Can you have two global.asa files,
one in each location since they are in different folders? Am I missing
something?

Here's an example of one of the errors I am getting:
'\\1.2.3.4\blahblah.ca\secure\database\database.mdb' is not a valid path.
Make sure that the path name is spelled correctly and that you are connected
to the server on which the file resides.

This is not the path I want, but no matter what I change it too it seems to
seek out the non-secure Global.asa folder and vPath

Please help.

Re: ASP with Global.asa file

What my problem seems to be is that changes I make to the global.asa file do
not take affect. How do you reset the global.asa file without having to call
your ISP and tell them to reboot their webserver, which is out of the
question??

Re: ASP with Global.asa file

A change to the global.asa should trigger an application restart. Perhaps
your global.asa is being ignored completely because it is not in a folder
marked as an application or web site.

Re: ASP with Global.asa file

I've changed the global.asa file numerous times and still nothing. No reset.

I can't see it being ignored if it comes up with an error message on Line 35
of the global.asa file. Both folders are websites, an http site and an https
site.

Any other suggestions please?

Re: ASP with Global.asa file

Are you absolutely 100% certain it is the SAME global.asa file that it is
looking at? What does the ISP say about it? Are you going to bother
contacting them? Since we are not your ISP, we can't fix your issue unless
we have more information.

Re: ASP with Global.asa file

Sorry for the troubles everyone. Just as I was picking up the phone to call
my ISP it looks like it decided to reset about 3 hours after I made many
changes to the global.asa file. I am definitely learning about global.asa
this week.
