FP XP : Full publish turns on application setting in IIS 5

[Evan Fleming]

Whenever I do a full publish on a sub-website, it enables the application
setting in IIS, breaking some sessions variables I need to carry over from
the main website.

Is there a way to prevent Frontpage from turning on the application setting
in IIS 5.0 when doing a full publish?

It doesn't seem to do this when publishing a file or two, only when I do a
full publish.

Thanks,
Evan

No, but you can pass the variable as a querystring from the root web and then re-establish them as
sessions in the subweb.

In most cases, it's replacing the global.asa file that
resets the application, and therefore discards all session
variables.

To workaround, as you've discovered when you publish only
certain page, it *not* to publish the global.asa file. For
example, open your local copy of the site, right-click
global.asa, and choose Don't Publish.

If course, if you've changed global.asa, then you need to
publish it. But this usually indicates that something
about your session and application variables has changed,
and that's why IIS discards them and starts over.

Also re-publishing the database may also cause the problem as well.
