Until now I've only seen VBScript to handle application and session events (e.g.
Application_OnStart, Session_OnStart). Is it possible to do this directly in
JavaScript or do I have to write VBScript proxies?
I have absolutely no idea how global.asa works. I've read through quite a number of articles and they're all fine and dandy but implementing it on my (first) ASP application just doesn't work. It's amazing how ASP.NET automates everything for you.
Anyway, I need to store session variables and I have no idea how to. I have no global.asa file, but I can declare session variables fine. So does that mean that somewhere in the ASP process, a Session_OnStart() method's already running.
If I create a global.asa file, I put it in the same directory with other ASP files right?
A global.asa file should contain the basic four application/session methods... and shouldn't really contain much code, unless I want to start a variable with a default value. True or false (I say true). Code:
I have one application folder containing all ASP code files. I want host multiple sites pointing to same code. Can I do this ? If YES then how I can assign diffrent global.asa to each application...
View Replies View RelatedDoes Anybody know why the routine bellow is decreasing on session_onend event?
In my index.asp I have this statements: ...
I still have no clear idea of Application_OnEnd functioning on w2000 both Pro and Server. I have this sub in my global.asa which is supposed to save Application scope variables to a file. (then Application_OnStart will restore theses variables from the file)
It worked fine on local w98/PWS and on ISP NT4-Server/IIS4 To initiate Application_OnEnd and Application_OnStart for test purposes it was sufficient to re-upload global.asa
Also Application_OnEnd were fired and registered by global.asa when shutting Windows down in a proper way.
On w2000 re-uploading global.asa does not trigger Application_OnEnd.Nevertheless it does trigger Application_OnStart Neither does Application_OnEnd work on shutting W2K down
Is it a known behavour or I am having some anomaly? Perhaps w2k need a different syntax for Application_OnEnd?
my understanding was when IIS restarts that time when the first session is requested application_on Start is called. My session time out is 1 minute. after every session time out happens when the session is requested then it goes to application_onStart first. Isn't application on start just happens only when IIS restarts and first session requested.
View Replies View RelatedIn Global.asa I have mentioned two sub routines 1> Session_OnStart and 2>Application on Start but both of them are not at all initiated when I restart IIS.
Please Tell me why is this happening, I have tried ever ....
I'm just dipping my toes into server-side scripting.
The Global.asa file seemed really nice, but am I understanding correctly that the application onstart event is fired ONLY when the server is started/re-started or when the FIRST user logs onto an ASP application?
If that's the case, then all the changes I keep making to my Global.asa file are pretty useless, right? (which seems to be the case -- i.e., my pages are not using any of the new information). Code:
where do you have to place your global.asa file in order for your session variables to work? If i dont have access to the root (not my server, a remote one), is there any way i can specify a path to my global.asa?
View Replies View RelatedI'm trying to add a "user-verifacation" thingy to my site.
my problem is using/accessing session variables.
all the tutorials say that the global.asa should only have
the script tags (<script...> & </script>) and inside the script itself
only have the application/session onstart/end.
I've created this global.asa file and put it in my site-root folder:
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" runat=server>
function Session_OnStart()
{ Session("LoggedIn") = "NO"
}
</script>
but i can't access the session variable Session("LoggedIn")... from any page.
I have started session("visitorID") in global.asa in order
to keep track of how many users are on our site at any
given time, trouble is I can't seem to call the session
while on another page.
As I am relatively new to asp I'll post both the setting
of the session and the call to it on the other page below Code:
i have a logon page, i create session variables for every person who logs on, but when their session times out, i want to redirect them (or have a popup window) that tells them that they have been logged off, but i have no success.' global.asa:
<script language="vbscript" runat="server">
Sub Session_OnEnd
Response.Redirect "loggedout.asp"
End Sub
</script>
but it doesnt work, i set the timeout to 1 minute, and i lose the session variables, but i cant seem to redirect them to the loggedout page!
I have a application which is a global login for other applications. Basically application A checks all the user login information and then lists all the applications B-Z that the user has access to.
I have a global.asa file in application A and individual global.asa files in applications B-Z. Applications B-Z are under the Application A directory. Can I have global.asa files in each of the application folders? Does the pages look for the closest global.asa file?
I have to keep track of user login time and logout tme for each application. The problem I run into is how do I record the user logout time when the session expires?
CAn I set a session variable dynamically based on a value in a database and use the global.asa to do it...
View Replies View RelatedAll, Just to give a little background this is reagarding an ASP 3.0
application running on IIS6 using the default app pool.
I have set the session timeout to 540 minutes in IIS (under options tab in
Application configuration). There is no code in the Session_OnStart or
Session_OnEnd in the global.asa. Via an include file, each page executes
these no-cache related code:
Response.Buffer = True
Response.ExpiresAbsolute = Now() - 1
Response.Expires = 0
Response.CacheControl = "no-cache"
Response.CacheControl = "private"
Sorry, just wanted to give some background on what we're dealing with.
Anyways, the problem is that the users are saying their session state is
expiring much sooner than 540 minutes. How is this possible? What did I miss?
Are there better techniques to ensure the 540 minute session?
i just started learning what it can do, and I am using it to tracj how many people have logged into my site, but when people login to my site, I start 2 sessions, one for their ID, and one for their name. Is there any way to only count the name session as a session_onstart in global.asa?
View Replies View RelatedCan I put a session.timeout = "45" in the global.asa file? and if yes, under what section?
View Replies View RelatedI'm using the following code in my global.asa file to set the
session.timeout value amongst other things -
Sub Session_OnStart
Session.Timeout = 40
Session("Authenticated") = 1
End Sub
Yet when I print out the value of session.timeout on a page after this
event has fired it returns 20 (I get the right value for
Session("Authenticated") so my code appears to be working).
I checked the default timeout value in IIS (v5) on the server, but
this reads 900 seconds, which in my books is 15 minutes. I am
therefore very confused as to where this value of 20 is coming from.
Could anyone point me in the right direction as I need to set this to
40 minutes and my WROX manual doesn't provide much information on this
property.
I need to set a session time out for this website that was created by someone else using ePower. How can I configure the global.asa page to set a time out session for the users or do I have to set this in IIS? Code:
View Replies View RelatedI am trying to run a Session_OnStart Script based on a Session variable that is created on a .asp page. The problem is that when I reference the Session in Global.asa It has no value but it has a value on the .asp page level. Is there a certain way that I have to reference a Session in Global.asa?
What I have is somthing like the following:
Sub Session_OnStart
If Session("NIS")<> "" Then
Run The Routine
End If
End Sub
Based on the above the routine does not run because Global.asa does not seem to get the value of Session("NIS").
You are required to create an online tracking system for the Webmaster which should show the current online status of all the users currently logged on to your site with the following details about every user:
SessionId
Current Page requested
Time of request
Browser used for making the request
If a user remains inactive for 10 minutes, then it should be assumed he is not online. You are not supposed to use any permanent storage features.
I have initialized some session variables in Global.asa for our web
application. But these session variables are returning null values; it is was
working fine before; Recently we have rebuild our servers.
Please let me know if anyone of you have some idea?
I am trying to write a sub that will delete a spreadsheet file created by the web user. THis is the code I have inserted into the global.asa file, but it is not working.
sub Session_OnEnd
'delete the temporary excel spreadsheet
Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objFSO.DeleteFile(Server.mappath("temp/<%=session.sessionid%>.xls"))
Set objFSO = Nothing
end sub
I have made sure that the temp folder has permissions set for the IUSR_machinename account to be able to delete files. I am running IIS 5 on a windows 2000 server.
Does anyone know of a way through asp code to drop a users application
connection and prompt them for their credentials? I would like to offer the
ability to log into the application with different NT username and password

athentication for my application.
I've got two domain names sharing the same IP address that use ASP VBScript
If I set a session variable with domain 1, it is only available for domain 1 - this is
correct?
If I set an application variable with domain 1, the app variable is sharing across all
domains using that IP address - this is correct?
This is the behavior I am seeing and I want to make sure that my server is set up
correct. I especially want to make sure application variable behavior is correct.
I want to store the link of the page that each user of my web site visited so it can help me to personalise information for each user depending on the pages visited.I don''t know what kind of variable should I use.
If I understand well, a Session variable is deleted when the session end so when a user close the browser and then reconnect to my web site, the session variables used the first time will be deleted and I can''t keep track of the pages visited.Same thing for the application variable except that the variables will be deleted when the application stops.
