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.
After some search with Google. I found that more people have problems with Service Pack 2 and the global.asa file. To be more contrete, the OnSession_End will not be fired anymore. Apparantly Microsoft is working on a fix.
Just wanted to let you guys know.
