We have an ASP script for updating web content which deploys a whole bunch of files from one server to another on the click of a button. Here are the steps it takes - pretty simple:
1. Delete all files requiring an update from Server B (remote server)
2. Copy all new files from Server A (local) to Server B
The problem is that many of these files are ASP scripts themselves and if someone is browsing the 'live' website on Server B (remote) then IIS will have the current scripts locked. So our delete script runs but gets to a file locked by IIS and fails, having deleted half the site, and does not continue with copying over the new version of the site. Very messy! I have to Remote Access to the server, wait for a gap in usage and manually delete the offending scripts before running the 'Deploy' functionality again.
So, I need to be able to check if a file is locked and ignore it in the process (perhaps reporting on that later) or be able to over-write locked files regardless. Code:
Every now and then i have an issue with an asp site which results in a server restart. The database is an access database which gets locked to the admin account on the server, is there anyway of recording what is locking the file or a way of preventing it being locked?
I heard Some were that an ASPASP.NET code can be lockedClosed, U can run the code but if some how U download it to your computer U won't be able to open it to see the code, it will be locked some how.
path=server.mappath("../../../databases/") & "/merlin.mdb" Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set f = fso.GetFile(path) lastmodified=f.DateLastModified lastmodified=dateAdd ("h",6,lastmodified)
so that I can determine when the user has modified the database. However the problem is that on the server, it works fine, however, on the local server (IIS) on my pc, everything seems to get stuck. Also it locks the databases (.ldb) and I cannot do any amendments on this database, if i don't restart the PC.
i have created a database system for work but when you input job details you have to fill in every box i want it to be able to process and add the data to the database without having to have every box filled in. Here is the code:
We had to move a legacy ASP app to an IIS6 server and now the app has stopped working. Basically the offending script opens an image on a network share, rotates the image, and then saves it back to the original filename.
Unfortunately as soon as the script touches the file it seems to lock it and writing the rotated image back to the file fails. After that it becomes impossible to delete the file off the remote server as it is marked as in use by another application.
It doesn't seem to have anything to do with the fact the image is on a share, as the problem happens when I try it with a local file as well. Code:
I posted a similar problem a while ago but never found a solution. I am passing an integer value (called NoElements)from a html form (which gets created using javascript) to an asp page. The value of NoElements is used to create an asp array of that size. At first I was confronted with the following error:
Expected integer constant
I then was advised to initialise the array (to say 100) and then do a ReDim Preserve. I now get this error message:
This array is fixed or temporarily locked? What should (or at least I thought) be a simple porcedure is making my life a nightmare.
I have some ASP.NET code which works fine on IE, but on Mozilla Firefox it completely ignores the width attribute and puts the images out at their full size.
how do u detect what the current pagename is (i.e. page.asp). also if the command is stored in the include will it return the include file name or the page that the command is included in name?
I have a Javascript to detect whether a client's browser has flash installed, but as so many people are putting me off relying on Javascript, could you please let me know if you know how to detect whether a browser has flash installed using ASP.
Is there any way to detect a mac using ASP? I am trying to let a mac with no referer into my site, but NOT any other OS that does not come from my site
for instance:
If OS = Mac & http_referer = "" then do nothing else If OS <> Mac & http_referer <> "http://www.mysite.com/" then response.redirect "http://www.notmysite.com/" end if
I have an ASP website which curently sends emails via CDONTS. Sometimes emails are not getting sent and there is no way to detect the error. I would like to be able to log on a database that an email has been sucsessfully sent or log an arror on a database if the email has failed. One ways I have thought of is to call a VB.NET DLL which I have written (I only have .NET not VB6!!). But i ma not sure how to call a VB.NET DLL from an ASP page.
How can you detect if it is a bot that's visiting your page, or a real person? Is it in the 'Request' class or what?
I know you can ban bots from crawling your page, but this is not want I want to do, I just want a script that can define if its a real person thats visitng your webpage, or a spider.
I've got a page that increments a count when the page is hit. The problem is, I do not want search engine spiders to affect this count. I'd like to wrap the increment code in an if/then statement so that it doesn't get triggered when it sees that the visitor is a spider.How do I sense that spider? Is it with the server.variables("referrer")? Is there a good list anywhere of the names of the major search engine spiders?
At the moment i am checking that all the fields have been filled out, at the moment i am using the following...
if firstname = "" and surname = "" and address1 = "" and town = "" and county = "" and country = "" and postcode = "" and phone = "" and email11 = "" and email2 = "" and password1 = "" and password2 = "" then
is there a better more efficient way of doing this?
If I write an entry into this DB, Name and EMail, the ID is auto increment. How can I detect what ID has been created ? I want a user to submit details to me, they get the ID as a ticket number ?
I have a page with a pop up window for a 800x600 resolution. But people using a different resolution will not benefit. So is there an asp script to detect what resolution people are using. And by detecting this it will alter the pop up screen size. Get what i mean?
I am planning out the stages for an application at work, the application needs to detect when a client has emailed 'us' and then trigger a new row written to a database and email the client back by return.
I can see how most of what our application needs to do can be achieved with ASP/SQL Server - but the part I am unsure of is the email detection...I suppose the closest thing to what we are aiming for would be one of those 'helpdesk' apps that many companies have - you email them - you get an automated confirmation email back by return with a ticket number etc etc - anyone got any ideas on how I can achieve this?
I am writing an application which when the code first loads there is a form which all the fields are blank. I then need to test some date fields to check if the end date is before the start date etc. The form fails to work. So I then wrote a test asp page which has a single box I then use an If...
Else statement if it is Blank then do nothing if it has data in the text box then display a message. The form works ok until I input text and then it does not detect any input text in it and therefore does not display the message. This is totally the oppoisite of the original application which does not detect the form is empty. Code:
I'm writing a script to add documents to a database, that can be sorted via date. As the date doesn't necessarily corrospond with the day the document is being added (i.e. it could have been orignally published in 1999) I have created a series of dropdown menus that allow the user to choose day, month and year. However, they could potentially choose, for exmple, 31st of February, which will generate a database error.
How can my code intelligently detect an invalid date before it generates a database error? Every system I can think of is overcomplicated for such a seemingly simple problem.
I have a program written in ASP. Normally it is all done by using include file etc.The client has asked for the program to be rewritten using frames. This can be done, but I have of course told the client that includes are better than frames and more easily manageable. Despite that advise the client wants to press on .
I have worked out a means by which I can move everything over to frames. How do I detect and ascertain if a page has been opened in a frame; if it has determine the name of the parent frame; and ensure it cannot be opened else where - ie another frame or window without a frame ?
Is there any way in VB ASP of identifying if an image which is placed on a page fails (if it's simply not been put on the server for instance so IE gives it a red X)? I want to detect this if it happens and display a default image or something.
i'd like to know if there is some way to detect whether a field is of type MEMO (i'm using MS Access) so to behave accordingly placing a textarea instead of a textbox in the UI.
I know there must be a JavaScript way, but is there a VBScript way? I asked here, because if there's a javascript way I need to also use VB with it...since I want to trim an image if it's over a certain size...
I' m getting a (0x80040E2F) error, if I submit my form, with blank textboxes to my update stored procedure. The stored procedure expect values, so how can I detect if a form field was empty. I've tried testing to see if the form field is null, blank and to count the characters, but I can't get it working. My SQL table allows nulls, so it's not that.
Is it possible to use IIS 5.x software on WinXP/2K OS and VBScript to detect the logged in user account.
ie, we login with our firstname initial, last name (amartone) as well as the domain the computer resides in? My account is under ITU, so I am ITUamartone.
Can ASP detect this? I'm making an intranet app, and I'd rather validate users that way than have them log in over and over.
