Implementing A Global Log File For A Web Site
I am trying to implement a single global text file for my web site that will log the actions that my ASP scripts peform. The site I have set up involves about five web pages with scripting in VBscript. Several of these pages also use COM automation to peform certain tasks in Excel macros which also write to the text file.
Currently, I must declare an FSO object on each page. I also have to close the object before I call the COM components (because I write to the log file from the Excel macros, too) and then open it again when control returns to my ASP scripts.
The macros I have written inside Excel are quite intensive, so they chew up some time when they execute. In the end, each user will go through the five web pages to generate an Excel spreadsheet which they can download, and, during this process, will have logged about 15 messages to the text file. Code:

I found this code for a global.asa file and in the tutorial it says it can be used to display how many people are on a given website. I don't see how this done. Is there a session variable of some sort that I take from this code and output it onto a page?
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript" RUNAT="Server"> ....

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.

Users are required to log into my website. I store the users name in a session variable. If the user doesn't log out and the session expires after 20 minutes, is it permissable to have code in the session end function of the global.asa which accesses a database and makes alterations to the users login status?
The reason I ask this is that I am having problems trying to get the logout to work for sessions which have timed out. If the users logout using the logout button, the code works fine.

It seems to me that I generally use two types of Functions:
Type #1-Ones that any page on my site might use
Type #2-Ones that only a single page would ever use
Logically, it seems that I should put the Type #1 functions in the GLOBAL.ASA file and the Type #2 functions in the pages that use them. I would like to, however, just go ahead and include ALL of my functions in the GLOBAL.ASA file.
Comments on this? Is this a good idea?

where does the file need to be?(root directory of server? main directory of my application?)
I don't need to include the global.asa file in my asp pages to reference the application variables, right?
can I use application variables without using a global.asa file?
when using a global.asa file, do I need to restart the server(or IIS) every time I make changes to it, or does the application automaticaly reset once a change has been made to it?
at the mo I have a global.asa file that looks like this.
<script language="vbscript" runat="server">
Sub Application_OnStart
Application("visitors")=0
End Sub
Sub Session_OnStart
Application.Lock
Application("visitors")=Application("visitors")+1
Application.UnLock
End Sub
Sub Session_OnEnd
Application.Lock
Application("visitors")=Application("visitors")-1
Application.UnLock
End Sub
</script>
and then I have this line in the asp page to display the number of visitors...
Code:
response.write(Application("visitors"))
I get nothing...!
what am I missing?

My website is hosted with the ISP and recently I have modified my Global.asa file for the ASP application.
So I think we need to restart the World Wide Web Publishing Service so that the changes in the Global.asa will take effect. I think it will be difficult for the ISP to restart the Service as there many applications will be running. So can you suggest how can my global.asa file changes will take effect so that I can deply those changes?

On each site there is a global.asa file that ties into an Access database. The fields from the Access database instantiate the values of session variables used in the site. I am trying to do away with the need for a database and was wondering if when I set up a site I also set the .asa file for that site.
Then if a shop wants to change something like an address, phone, number, directions, etc., they would go a toolbox area of the site and there would be a form whose field values would be populated by the session variables from the global.asa file.
When the form was submitted I was thinking I could somehow use asp to write a new global.asa file and store it in the server. Is this feasible? Also, what would this mean insofar as permissions on the root directory of the site? I'd imagine they'd have to have write permissions no? Code:

I need to access a file on a remote FTP server. Assuming I have all the FTP login credentials, how can I get that file (.txt file) and copy it to my server (so I can use it for my database). I need to have it on my server before I use it because I am not allowed to do anything with the remote file but copy it. (bandwidth crap, or so they say)

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.

I am about to begin a web site for a client who wishes the site be in English, German, and Italian. What I am planning on doing is setting up a script in the global asa file that will detect if the users language is set to either it or de and if so, set a session variable to Italian or German, if not, set the session variable to English. In the actual pages themselves, I will use a select or if statement on each section that will have content. The statement's criteria will be the session language variable. I know if I was doing this site for someone who wanted it in 20 languages this may not be practical, but for 3 languages I think I can pull it off. So what's my question you ask? Is my approach sound and practical? If so, can someone show me the snippet of code that would go in my asa file to set the session variable. OH, and also equally important, when this site is spidered by search engines, will Google.com and Google.it and Google.de pick up their respective pages? The spiders have language settings, no? Don't they request pages from a (my) server just like any other request?

Am trying to include a txt file from another site...This is the code I am using:

<tr class="text" align="center">

The contents of the txt file are all arranged with appropriate html so am hoping the output will be displayed appropriately on this ASP page.

Is it possible to have an include file that resides outside of the web site parent folder? For instance, lets say you have several websites under Inetpub/global/websites/ but the include file is in Inetpub/inc/ I get a file not found error trying file/virtual starting with the root and even using C:/Inetpub. Example
Inetpub/global/websites/website1/global.asa
Inside global.asa is the statement
<--Include file="C:/inetpub/inc/functions.inc"-->

Will IIS6.0 recognize a global.asa file located in a subdirectory on the webserver?
I'd like a file that will execute whenever a file in the subdirectory is browsed - or, at least it is executed the first time a file in the subdirectory is browsed.

I'm currently trying to strengthen up the security on a large ASP.NET
application. I use MD5 hashes for the user/password, and a token to 'salt'
the resultant hash. This is secure.
The next step -- and I'm *really* surprised that *everyone* doesn't do
this -- is to prevent 'Evil Eve' from listening in over the network when the
passwords and/or other sensitive information is updated. The best method
here is to use asymetrical encryption using the framework's
RSACryptoServiceProvider. Of course, this won't work on the client because
you have to use JavaScript on the client (forget Java and Activex as these
are out of the question). Therefore I want to implement RSA on the client in
JavaScript. Code:

Just a thought...Using
Code:
Response.ContentType = "application/msword"
to save asp pages to MS Word, saves the text on the pages OK, but, pictures, icons etc are just saved as a link to the original picture file . If the picture/image is not on the current PC opening the WORD file, then none is shown..
I was wondering if I could save the asp pages WITH images/pictures & icons using MS WORD on the server and then the users downloading the .doc file from the server to their PC, would this embed the pictures etc in the .doc file, so it could be shown on any PC. (which has WORD or a WORD Viewer installed).
If this is possible could someone point me in the direction as to how to get started opening WORD on the server and saving the .doc file on the server.
