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:
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 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.
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:
i am having a problem in how to create a Open File dialog to enable user to select a image file that will be stored into database. i just want the file path to be stored in database, not the image.
It works if the file in on the server side, how to use the component (DSOleFile) with the file on the client side? Also how can I calculate the width of the file. (Page set up - Landscape or porrait). Code:
I need to do online streaming multimedia file on my web portal, just like those online portal that selling MP3. User need to click on the preview link to stream the audio file to listen before they decide to buy the file or not. How do i link my audio file in my web server to allow it to be stream? Totally lost on this function,
This question has to do with MS file search but it is happening only with ..asp pages, so I though someone programming with .asp pages has experienced the same situation.
I'm trying to find .asp pages with a certain table name (i.e. "renewalInfo" )
When I ran the search I get no results. I know that I have that string in a couple of pages. My file system search engine is working fine with other file types, like Word documents, Excel spreadsheets, etc.
I tried typing the string outside the <% %> tags and when I do the search I get the file results, so it seems like if the search engine in my file system was not searching inside the <%%> tags. Code:
I'm having a problem with the fact that I want to allow image files to be uploaded to a remote web server, as the hosting package the web site is on is IIS6 and has a default file upload size limit of 200kb. As it's a shared hosting package, the default limit cannot be changed for me unfortunately.
Anyway - i need to check the size of the file being uploaded, so i can notify the user and prevent them getting the default Microsoft error message page. The problem is that I can't implement a server side size check which works, using either Request.TotalBytes or load.getFileSize (with "load" being an object of my loader class). It seems that I can't carry out any of these operations when the file size is too large.
I'm trying to run the server.execute command inside a executed file. It doesn't work. Can anybody tell me why? I've searched all around and haven't found a reason. Could it be because it's not supose to work, or is the syntax diferent then in the first file? It's something like this:
I am using the File System Object to create server side cookies and part of the Function that I am writing deletes a file but I am getting a permissions denied error on that line of code.
I am using Integrated security only on this site but how do I get the IUSER_Machinename account to work with Integrated Security?
I have an asp page written entirely in jscript with a vbscript used as an include file which one variable on the page must access.
When the page runs, I run into jscript complilation errors when it tries to access the include file (since it is written in vbscript), and I can't figure out how to get the two to work together. How do you get both scripting languages to work on the same page?
I would like to add a facility to my web page which allows users to upload basic files (word, excel, text, gif, jpg etc) to the server.
I know there's a facility to do this using HMTL forms, but I don't know how to handle the file on the server side.
What I think I need is an ASP file running some code to manipulate the filesystemobject, allowing me to receive the file and store it in the filesystem on the server. It would be nice to access some of the file properties too (name, type etc).
I've seen a few custom components online which allow you to do this, but I can't depend on installing them. I need to be able to script it myself.
Does anyone know of a method of converting text files to sound files (.wav, mp3 etc) which can be accessed from ASP?
I have an ASP-based website that enables users to design choreography for equestrian dressage. The resulting design is held as a series of coded movements in a database and it can then be reproduced as text or as a series of diagrams. I would like to offer the option of an audio version.
i am currently working on a project in which part of the requirements are to store files on the Server filesystem and make these files available for download by users. Is there a simple way to provide the user with a link which starts downloading the file when it is clicked?
I have an upload feature on my site... it works fine... but I want to validate the uploading file extension for .doc or .html before being uploaded to the server(client-side).
I have the validation to check text fields are not blank.... The first validation is for checking the text field... the second "blob" is the file upload field.... This is my code in Vbscript.. Code:
I have an asp page, which displays graphical images.I am using Flipper graph in my application.
There is a link in the asp page "Click to view Image file",On clicking on this link,The graphical image need to be stored(Preferably in the server machine) and has to be opened in a new browser window.
To explain in detail. On clicking of that link"Click to view Image file" a function is called which does the following
1)Save the image file(.gif file) on the server machine Graph.ImagetoGif("Location to be saved",100,200); 2) Opens the image on a new browser window.
window.open('from location from where the image is to be retreived',100,some more properties) So i need the image file to be saved in the server and retreived from the server.
Does anyone have knowledge of converting text file to .iff file. I am working on a VB ASP application. I searched for example on internet but I didn't get anything.
If you have any idea of converting text file to .iff file (VB ASP) please share with me.
I want to read an asp file as a text file. The problem is that the file that I want it to read is located on a server. For example: I want to read te content of this file: http://www.bnro.ro/Ro/Info/default.asp . I want to look after some values in that file.
i am using vbscript in ASP and i wanted to call a COM executable file from that ASP file. i would like to know the ways how to approach this problem.
i have read the articles given in http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...kb;en-us;299714 and http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...comtutorial.asp
i found those 2 pages were not 100% helpful for me as i am not using Visual Basic to create COM executable. i would like to see some examples or some other tutorials explaining the above question.
This works with most every file type I've run across (jpg, gif, doc, ppt, xls, etc..). Normally when the user tries to access a file, a download window pops up asking the user whether he/she wants to open or save the file.
However, when the file is a zip file, the user just receives a blank screen instead of the usual download window. Has any one run into this problem? If yes, how did you resolve it?
