On said diagnostic page, what is the value of CGI.SERVER_NAME and CGI.HTTP_HOST when the configName's value is "dev"?

(server admin and restarts aside.) Since the app is running fine for months and then all of a sudden switches configs, something else then must trigger a call to OnApplicationStart but with a screwy environment. (I'm going to add logging to track this down but I can't predict when the problem might happen again.) >When you say you use cgi.server_name to determine which variables to use, >are you being VERY explicity, as in the SERVER_NAME must match EXACTLY, or >are you doing an if/else to say if its this then set as live else set as dev? My code looks like this: configName = "dev" if CGI.SERVER_NAME contains "blah.com" configName = "production" I can tell from a diagnostic page I have that configName's value ended up being "dev". Fixing the problem is as easy as forcing a call to OnApplicationStart by hitting a special URL. Which makes me wonder under what circumstances OnApplicationStart can be called without CGI being set properly.
