I'm trying to get a database hooked up to my dynamic pages in my website and so as requested by my web host I set it up my website using a dsn-less connection string placing this code <!--#include file="Connections/ConOTS.asp" --> at the top of testpage.asp which is based in the root directory whilst having a file called conOTS.asp in the connections sub directory which simply includes the line:
<% Dim MM_ConOTS_STRING
MM_ConOTS_STRING = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("../private/listing.mdb") %>.
What I can't understand is that the connection works fine when the file testpage.asp is in the root but ceases to work when in a sub directory that is until I change the path in the connection string. This presently means I will have to create a connection string for every directory and sub directory which uses dynamic data with this database. Surely I am doing something wrong?
I have written a script to update user information in the Active Directory using ADSI. Here is part of it:
Set User = GetObject("LDAP://<GUID=" & GUID & ">")
User.Department = DepartmentName
User.SetInfo
Set User = Nothing
This works fine unless DepartmentName is an empty string ("").
Then I get error 0x8007200B: "The attribute syntax specified to the directory service is invalid." This happens with all the attributes I have tried, including TelephoneNumber . Do I need to delete the value of the attribute instead of setting it to an empty string? If so, how do I do it?
I wanted to know wheather DSN is ok for the connection to a database or direct conection is better?
when i started my web project on dreamweaver i had to make a DSN connection as i have followed the books, but as now as i have also asked several questions on this site, i have aslo implemented a direct connection as well on some pages, now i am wondering is this going to have any affects when i uplode the complete site on the server.
i have noticed that on my computer when i am testing the site and uploading new records on sections that have DSN connections you can see the new record but on sections that i have implemented direct connection i cannot see it coz it is linked to the local directory database not on the testing server.
i have also never experienced uploading to a IIS server with DB connection so its my first time with dynamic websites. so am i in trouble or its ok the way i have done my site..
im brand new to ASP and all but at school they want a webpage and they wont support PHP which is what i know so i need to figure out how to show everything under a directory then if sub folders have them link to that folder
I would like to do something like this: <!--#include file="C:dbutilsdbConfig.asp"-->
Where the directory C:dbutils is OUTSIDE of the web directory and not accessible by a client web browser. The reason I would like to do this is in case somehow ASP processing gets turned off in IIS. Since "dbConfig.asp" contains a username/password for the database, I don't want this file to somehow get sent back to a client browser as plain text. Two questions: 1) is it possible to use an include file that is outside of the web directory? 2) is there even any way that ASP processing can be turned off? perhaps not explicitly, but maybe via malicious code or virus?
Does anyone know if it's possible to convert files to .pdf format through ASP? or better yet, does anyone know of a utility that can take a directory of word documents and form one pdf file with the contents?
I have an Intranet site sitting on an Windows XP server, which has IIS 6.0 installed. This Intranet site contains a virtual directory (VD), which sits on a second server and has Windows 2000 installed.
To test how a virtual directory would work for this particular Intranet site, I had previously set up the VD on the web server. Everything worked well...no errors.
Once testing was complete and the location of the VD changed to the second server, I have been receiving the following error:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a004c' Path not found
I understand what this error is saying, but I was wondering if anyone knows of any problems between IIS 6 being on a XP server and the VD on a 2000 server and any possible implications.
Is it possible to read the all filenames from a directory? Basically I want to grab all the filenames from a directory and make a flat file with all the values in it.
I'm trying to create my own browsing window for a directory on my webserver. I can access the root the directory and the first sub-directory but anything lower than that I get "path not found". I'm almost sure the problem is attaching the selected directories names on to the objFSO.GetFolder line.
I used the Mid function to get my selected directories. I can't figure out how to add the selected directories to the objFSO.GetFolder line. Code:
I'm trying to connect to the active directory using asp. I'm having problems with logging in, what happens is the username accepted is not the user logon name but the displayname is accpeted heres the code:
Could anyone show me a sample, snippet, code chunk ... etc of how I can get ASP to find the Active Directory username based on a supplied email address?
For example: I want ASP to query active directory and retrieve the AD username for where user email address = 'whatever@whatever.com'
Here's the challenge though: How do you get your dynamic pages to appear as a directory rather than an asp page with a querystring? I'm fairly certain that there is a workaround to this to be able to have one dynamic asp script that appears in your address bar as a directory.
Is there a way in asp to create a new default web site within IIS I am setting a content managament system and want to create a new default web site during on of the processes. So for example if people create a new site within the admin section and call it Jacinto this will create a new virtual directory called Jacinto.
This would then be accessed at http://localhost/jacinto
I haven't had a close look at the code yet but it's not in asp/vbscript
Has anybody done it in pure asp.I would like to do it on a site hosted by a third party and I am unable to install any dll's or exe's on the machine because it is a shared webserver.Both .NET and Non .NET would be good

Is there a way to create directories using vb or jscript in IIS to a unix machine? I want to have the aility to upload files through my Win2k Web Server, and have those files stored on my Mac OS X Server under new directories based on date and Upload ID's from the Db.
I would like to have PHP for windows run in another directory than c:inetpubwwwroot. I have tride changeing parameters in php.ini in my c:php directory. But nothing changes. When I run the phpinfo() I always get Configuration File (php.ini) Path as c:windows. But I do not have the php.ini file there. Is there something I am doing wrong or is it a bug.
I tried renameing the php.ini file and reseting the IIS and believe it or not my scripts still work in c:inetpubwwwroot.

I am only running all this file in one pc. how can I change below statement if I want the db file save in the local c:...Tks
I would like to write an ASP ap that asks for username/password and validates against the active directory. Any ideas how/where I can do this? In addition, once these people are logged in I want to be able to send the to exchange's OWA and just be logged in, no second login/password.
At work I was asked to add a link to a directory listing page. This page is with the link is located behind a secure page requiring a username and password. When I added the link I also went to iis and checked to make this directory have directory browsing listing checked.
Everything is fine however now this directory is open if you just post the complete link to it in the URL bypassing the login page. Is this a nornal behavoir and is their anything that can be done to make it prevent it to be opened?
I have a website hosted on an ISP server, my code creates folder and places files in it using the FileSyestemObject. The problem is that I have to write the absolute folder/file path in the createFolder method, and I don't know the absolute path on the server, when i use relative path, the folder is placed on the system32 directory as the root folder (That is where the ASP dll is located). So how can I create folders and files on the virtual directory without knowing the physical path.
I created virtual directory(IIS) in which i placed images and scripts.I referred this directory from my application(ASP.Net).But during run time this folder is copied to my application root.How can i avoid this.
I used KB 308150 as a guide to create a virtual directory shared by a few webstores that my company hosts. The virtual folder and websites reside on the same box. The shared directory includes code files used by all the webstores.
The problem - when a user adds items to the shopping cart, ***sometimes*** the session variables get reset and all cart information is lost.I can't consistently make the error occur - it seems to be random.Also, if you have any different ideas on how to share code between many websites.
I have a client who has a password protected page via session that lists a bunch of pdf's.They are a little worried that you are able to browse and see the pdf's via the url without being logged in.
I'm not sure if it's possible or not but is there a way after their username and passord is verified to automatically grant them permisson to view the contents of the pdf directory?
where to find some decent code samples for using SoftArtisans FileUp Professional.I have used aspUpload to code a webpage to upload select files, rename them and check they have the right file extension but now I need to do the same for uploading the contents of a selected directory.
