Hello,
Today I had a phonecall from a client. 2 Sites of his were not working
anymore and produced only 500 server errors when requesting classic ASP
files. Other sites on that machine working perfectly.
After some research we found out what was causing this. The client had an
empty global.asa file in his sites. Which had been there for years. But after
installing service pack 2 every ASP request failed. Apparently something was
changed in asp.dll that causes this behavior. After removing the empty
global.asa the site worked again like it did before. Have tested this
behavior on 3 different machines with the same results.
I agree that there is no use for an empty global.asa file. But it is a new
bug introduced in the asp.dll by SP 2. Anyway the workaround/solution is
easy. Just remove the file
