Application_Start Event does not fire

[Steve]

Looking for some help on this one...

I have three servers (development, staging, production), each running
the same code. All three computers are running Windows 2003 Server, IIS
6.0.

I have some code in the GLOBAL.ASAX file, which writes out a message to
a database indicating that the event fired.

When running on the development or staging servers, I can make this
event fire by making a change in the web.config file and saving it.
When I do this on production, this event does not fire.

I know that the Session_Start event does fire when a new sesison is
establised.

I have updated the Global.asax file, the .dll that it references, etc.
but nothing seems to work.

Help!!!

Thanks in advance

Is your connection to the database on the production server correct?
Can you stop the production server then start it and see if it fires.
