I have just started developing a shopping site and I have a problem.I am using Win XP Pro's IIS to test my asp pages.I couldn't see global.asa in root directory and put it there
On session start I set the session("test")="test" to test if global.asa is working however as I run the asp page I couldn't see the test written on page
Why global.asa is not working?Isn't Win XP Pro a good platform to test the asp pages?
I am having a really hard time getting my global.asa. file working. I am on a shared Windows Web Hosting. My Test global.asa file is this: Code:
View Replies View RelatedI put the following in the global.asa which is on the root of the web at the top of the asa file:
<!--METADATA TYPE="typelib" UUID="EF53050B-882E-4776-B643-EDA472E8E3F2" NAME="ActiveX Data Objects 2.7 Library" -->
It's not working. I put the following in an ASP located in a folder which is an application folder but not a Virtual Directory and is an immediate child of the root of the web.
<!--METADATA TYPE="typelib" UUID="EF53050B-882E-4776-B643-EDA472E8E3F2" NAME="ActiveX Data Objects 2.7 Library" -->
It works.
The test is:
<%
Response.Write adOpenDynamic
%>
Can someone explain what I am doing wrong here? I thought it did work at one time. Do I need to put a global.asa in this application folder? I thought there was a bubbling-up or trickle-down of the global.asa not sure what it is called.
i have iis on my comp. the global.asa file works for one folder while it does not for another. And when i uploaded the file that works onto my web hosting company's server, it does not work. the global.asa file that works on my comp does not work on the www.
View Replies View RelatedMy global.asa is not working. Iam using win xp and visual studio 2003 to develop the application.I just wonder why. The copy of the global.asa copy to another application is worked fined.
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 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 RelatedI have added a db driven marquee to my site and need to combine the global asa's to 1 global asa file. Code: ......
View Replies View RelatedI am trying to put a condition in my Global.asa file based on the server
name.the reason, I want to set a global string as a application variable based on
the server I am on.
I also need to set a coonection string based on the value of the server.
I need to use this connection string to retrieve values from an sp in
application on start that sets a load of global variables so I can't really
do this anywhere else.
I have a site which until this morning, was on a remote server. The structure was that the "site" was actually a folder on the server, as I am designer and use this arrangement to develop sites. Under the root directory, I had modified the global asa file to include session variables. Ok, so I download the site (folder) to my hard drive, and put it in the folder of "MY Documents" called MyWebs. I then opened VB Studio and created a new solution, which is pointing to the before mentioned directory in My Documents. When I pull the site up in IE, the session variables were not being called, and I realized I had not copied over the asa file. So I did so, placing a copy of it in the hard drive's c inetpub wwwroot directory, and also directly in the my docs mywebs directory,and the site's directory as well. It seems it is still not being called.Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong?
View Replies View RelatedIs the Global.asa file resolved before parsing the 'Include' (files) or
after parsing the 'Include' (files)?
I have IIS 5.0 installed on for a test server. the global.asa file runs perfectly.
when tryng the same application on win server 2003 IIS 6.0 the global.asa does not fire. i have set the application as a virtual site and given rights for iwam and iusr. What else could be the problem. Code:
How does IIS 6.0 treat the global.asa file? I had the following problem;
1. uploaded a new site to the win3k server
2. had incorrect db connection string in Session_OnStart in global.asa and website caused errors.
3. Changed the global.asa file to include the correct details. Saved the file. Still got the same errors.
I could not resolve this unless restarting the WWW Service on this server. In IIS 5.0 the global.asa file would reload after resaving it (as the timestamp is updated).
I even waited the next day before restarting the service because I though Session_OnStart expires after my session ends...but the error was still there
in the morning.
Hopefully someone will make sense of it for me. Here is the code (I inherited) in the global.asa
Sub Application_OnStart
Application("DB.ConnectionString")= ""
Application("MaxLoginAttempts") = 5
Set Application("Con") = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
Session("Test") = Now()
End Sub
Sub Session_OnStart....
Is it possible to use ADO in global.asa?I simply want to creat a log of each visit to the site?
View Replies View RelatedI created a dll to track our users and I want to call it in the Global.asa. How do I do this? I've seen the <OBJECT> tag to create an object, but I'm not sure how to use it correctly.
View Replies View RelatedI dont have any idea about Global.asa. Is it for global variable declarations?
View Replies View Relatedi'm a little bit confused with using application_onstart.. as u can see in the following code... my DB connection and SQL statements is currently included in my application_onstart event.. but, unfortunately, i wasn't able to reference Application("sUser") in my asp when i tried to run my website Code:
View Replies View RelatedWe have over 100 asp pages that reference a table (distribution_components). We added a new column and primary key to that table, so now we have to modify the where clause to include that column (we have to make the new column = to a session variable in the page)
The table appears 531 times in our code. Is there some util or method that allows us to change it globally, other than going to each occurrance, and adding the new column to the where clause.
Basically session_onend will not fire in my global.asa files! I have just made a very simple test to prove its not my programming and it still doesnt fire.
Session_onstart works a treat but onend will not work even if you force the session to expire with abandon. I have tried on 2 of our servers now and it doesnt work on either.
my simple test is this:
Sub Session_OnEnd
application("test") = "hello"
End Sub
Now surely that should work. i obviously have a page that writes that test variable to the page but its always empty.
Set IE 6.0 ver. X to "Block all Cookies" in privacy settings and try
this code in three separate files.
<-- Global.asa -->
sub Session_OnStart
response.cookies("test") = "-1"
end sub
<-- Global.asa -->
<-- testcookie1.asp -->
<%Response.Redirect("testcookie2.asp")%>
<-- testcookie1.asp -->
<-- testcookie2.asp -->
<%=request.cookies("test")%>
<-- testcookie2.asp -->
I get "-1" on testcookie2.asp
Anyone else get the same result?
Why am I getting the cookie in this test?
So when *does* Session_OnEnd fire in my Global.asa file? Does it fire when
they click a link to leave the site? Does it fire when the session times out?
I need to Ban IP's on my IIS server. I know the IP's I need to ban, but how to I write the global.asa file correctly.
View Replies View RelatedI have an ASP application that is a electronic purchase orders system. My
problem is that only 3 people can authorise a purchase order. When a
purchase order is selected I update the table to show that the field is
locked. If they complete the form then the database is updated and the lock
is removed, all though at this stage the record moves into another part of
the system and the lock becomes redundant.
If however they dont complete the form the record is left in a permanent
locked state, it could be that they decided to look at the record then
navigated away or closed the browser.
So i thought maybe i could stick some code that updates the database into
the session_OnEnd in the global.asa, so after 20 minutes when the session has
ended the lock will free. I don't however have any experience with this and
don't even know if this will work. The code won't be a problem its just
whether this process will actually work.
I am thinking that I code put the order_id into a session variable then when
the session variable ends i run a sub in the .asa file that gets the session
variable and updates the table.
I am in much need of some help with my global.asa file. I use ASP and mySQL. In a nutshell, When a registered user logs in, a field in I have a field that gets updated in my DB Table. It is a TINYINT. When they log in, it updates the value to 1, when they log out, it updates it to 0. I use a tiny iFrame to create a loop displaying users with the value of 1. Basically a cheasy "Who's Online" function.
How ever I am now trying to create a global.asa file to say when the session times out, I want the global file to just update the value back to 0. I am also attempting it so that if the users browser window closes and then gets reopened PRIOR to the timeout limit, It knows they are still logged in. I can provide my script if anyone thinks they can help. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think my final thought would be that when the user closes their browser, that the session ends and the DB field gets updated from a 1 to a 0.
i'm trying to update my db when the user sessions expires..... So i put the codes below on the golbal.asa file... i tried it a few times but this code wont work... but when i tried in Sub session_on_start it is okay... i notice that we could not use server.mappath or any other objects/variable other than Session or Application variable on global.asa .... have any of u guyz trtied the same thing and works
<script language="vbscript" runat="server">
Sub Session_OnEnd
set adoConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
adoConn.Open "Driver=MySQL ODBC 3.51 Driver; Database=dhl_21Feb; Uid=user;Pwd=user;"
set rssession = adoConn.execute("Update session set LogoutTime = '10.20',status = 'Log_'")
I would like to start using the global.asa file on an ASP app to store
information like connection strings, contact e-mail addresses, etc. However,
the person I report to is nervous about this, mostly because he's never been
exposed to it.
He is of the opinion (because he "thinks he heard somewhere") that
application variables - and the ASA file in general - is bad. He's giving me
a bit of push-back until I can satisfy him that introducing this won't cause
problems for the site.
Anything I could find on the MSDN just says how to use it, how it works,
etc...which is stuff I already know. Has anyone had any problems with the ASA
file? Does it cause any performance lagging? Is there any chance that the
Application_OnStart event won't fire?
If i want to declare a global variable in a one page and can be retrieved anyway in any page. how can i do that? the normal one that we declare is :
dim execno
dim month
but what about the global variable???
I have a site wich is in a subdirectory of the webSite. I have to use a global.asa file to set session.timeOut even i create an IIS application on the subDirectory global.asa don't run ?!?
if i create a virtual directory instead of IIS application, the global.asa run fine.
How can i do to run global.asa on a subDirectory ?
With global.asa application variables can be set. Later can a script in your
application change the value of those variables. But when IIS is restarted
the old values are used again. Is there a way to get the changes that are
done into global.asa?
my global.asa file doesn't seem to be executing in IIS and i don't know how to make them run. Any ideas how to execute the global.asa file in IIS 5.1 ,
View Replies View RelatedI have to write Global.asa with session_onEnd. Firstly, If my IIS have a number of application, may I have a number of global.asa on each application folder? or, i can just have a global.asa on the wwwroot?
Besides, I found that it seems doesn't run when I put global.asa on the application folder.
I have a couple ASP applications running on my server (non .NET)
I would like to be able to get a sum total of how many active sessions I
have running.
I can do this within each app individually as I can just use an Application
variable and add/subtract as the sessions are created or deleted.
I am trying to come up with a sum total of all sessions between the two (or
more) apps running on this server.
That way I can tell if it is safe to reboot the box without affecting anyone
or not.
I have a website in IIS which queries an archive. At a certain point I need to intercept a URL and redirect the user to another page. The only problem is that because the website uses an executable then I cannot code this redirection in a html page.
It would need to be something like this:
If URL beginswith ("(URL address blocked: See forum rules)=VIEW") then
redirect ("(URL address blocked: See forum rules)")
Has anybody got any idea if this can be done via the global.asa file.
The global.asa file would need to be fired when opening each URL not just when a new session is started.
