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?
I am attempting to use the technique in KB 812406
(http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=812406) to transfer
large files via Response.OutputStream.Write.
It works GREAT in in debug mode. But whenever I set
debug="false" in the web.config file clients get cutoff after about 1.5 minutes.
There is no error raised the client simple gets an incomplete file.I've tried playing around with various timeout settings in web.config and in IIS with no luck.
I have a site that i upload files to that are no bigger than 100MB. we upload about once a day, and use FTP...... we would like to be able to do it from the site itself.
any idea where i can get a script? i cant register components with my
hosting company i dont think. i go thru godaddy.com
need a good free asp upload script. cant find any that work. Huge ASP Upload
doesnt even work on the demo page, let alone on my own page
I am using the CDONTS.newmail object to send file as an attachment so I
used attachfile method. it seems the attach file wont work if the file size
more than 100 KB , does anybody know if there is a size limit or where to
change it I am using the SMTP server included with IIS 5.0.
PS when file is sent, it will show on the EMAIL as an attachment only with 0
bytes.
I use the code below to authorise the download of certain files.
Thus, instead of linking to the file in a wwwroot directory, I link to
this code with the filename as a parameter, and the script streams the
file if the user is authorised.
This has worked fine on PDFs, DOCs, XLS, etc. until today, and 18MB
file presents the error message 'format error: not a pdf or corrupt'.
Is there a file size limit, or a default that needs overridden? Any
thoughts? Code:
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 have written general purpose functions in one of the include file, I want
to use the same in the global.asa. Do you know how to use include file in
global.asa
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.
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?
Can I put a session.timeout = "45" in the global.asa file? and if yes, under what section?

View Replies View RelatedI 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:
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 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 have actually an asp web site which use the global.asa file to connect to
the database but for security reason, I want to put username and password
information (or the complete connection string) in a seperate file so only a
special user could read these informations.
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?

I am updating over 100 fields in 7 tables with SQL in VB 6.0. The values will mostly come from check boxes. Do I need a VB variable to hold each value for my SQL query?
Also, what is the syntax for skipping an optional field? Do I just skip it and use comma's? I will never know which values are checked off so I cannot write code that will only insert my true values.
we are rebuilding a large website and we want to make sure it doens't lose it good ranking within the search engines. So we were thinking of using 301 to tell google where the pages have moved to.
The problem is I'm not really sure where to start to impliment something this. We have a website that has 26,200 indexed pages, so I need to come up with somekind of solution that would work across the board.
I am a PHP programmer and trying to do a site in asp but one feature I can't figure out how to do in ASP is large variables.
In PHP it is
$fullpage = <<<EOT
THE ENTIRE PAGE OF HTML
EOT;
EOT can be anything it just uses that as a starting and ending point so I can have quotes, apostrophes, variables etc inside the page. Is there any way at all to do this in ASP? Code:
I need to populate a select form input (combo box) with about 22,000 rows of data. This is taking an unacceptable amount of time to load. And this data is only going to grow in the future.
I'm using a stored procedure to get the data. Not sure if that's the most efficient. I'm using classic asp. I'm open to any suggestions because I'm not even sure where to look to get options.
I am trying to upload large images ( around 4 mb) from the server to show on

I am trying to do some calculations on large numbers (ie
7,768,489,957,892,578,474,792,094 / 12,280) and no matter what I do it
doesn't get it quite right. Its always somewhere between 10 and and 5000 out

using along the way but im not sure.
I am using forms authentication to protect all content as described in the

when creating a webpage that must display a large result set, the page load time is unbearable. Unfortunately, there are a lot of records and they all need to be displayed, at once, on this one page.
To reduce file size, I have minimized the amount of HTML tags used to dislay these records. My only other idea is to write javascript matrix to hold the data, and then to use dom to create the page on the client side. Are there any tried and true ways of speeding up page loads?
