On Session_OnStart() Getting Fired When Going From Page To Page At The Same Level As The Global.asa
This is a standard ASP application that has several pages at the root
withthe global.asa. I set a session variable session("accountid") =
"123456" within an asp page and then response.redirect to the next page and
immediately response.write session("accountid") and I get back nothing.
But if I set a session variable session("accountid") = "123456" within an
asp page and response.redirect to a page in a sub directory and immediately
response.write session("accountid") I get back 123456 on the screen.
I am having trouble getting my global.asa file to be read. Essentially, I work in an environment where I can set up my own web pages/applications on an IIS server, even though I don't have System Administrator access to the web server. That means I can save data to the web server through a Windows network drive, but I don't have access to IIS Manager (inetmgr) on the server--or anything like that. I have been talking to the System Admin people who do have this access to try to get them to set up the server to read my global.asa file. So far, I have checked my global.asa carefully for errors--there are no errors. I have told the System Admin people to create a Virtual Directory for my application--they have done this. My global.asa and the rest of my .asp files are in the this "virtual directory." This virtual directory exists well below the root directory of the server (I'm using made up directories names to illustrate my point):
So my web application, its global.asa, and all the ASP files are in the directory "MyApp." There are multiple global.asa files on the web server. I know my global.asa is not being read because I am defining application/session values that are returning null values when printed in the browser using response.write. There is a global.asa file in the root directory of the server http://www.mywebserver.com/global.asa). This is the global.asa file that is being read by my application! I have verified this through retrieving an application variable that is defined in that global.asa file. There is obviously a problem with the way my application is defined in IIS. The server is a Windows 2000 Server running IIS 5.0. What should I tell the System admin people to do to fix this problem? The "virtual directory" does point to the right path, but the web server refuses to read my global.asa when I execute my web app.
Do I need to do a Application_onstart first then i can do Session_onstart?? or it doesnt matter which one is used b4 which one? When i use a global.asa, do i need to call it within my asp page to execute it or will it be auto started and execute?
how can i retrict user to only access the web page iif and only if they have the username and password, they neeed to login before can access the certain pages. How is the coding for that web pages?
i just started learning what it can do, and I am using it to tracj how many people have logged into my site, but when people login to my site, I start 2 sessions, one for their ID, and one for their name. Is there any way to only count the name session as a session_onstart in global.asa?
I have one IIS 6 machine that seems to ignore global.asa completely. I can't get *anything* to fire -- not Session_OnStart(), not typelib declarations. This is true in the web root as well as in any application folder.
In particular, this is preventing me from loading the ADO 2.8 type library,but I cannot even force an error by using a malformed GUID.This is my only machine that appears to have this problem.
In 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 ....
In my Session_OnStart in Global.asa, I am setting some cookies. One of them, I set as follows:
dim UserID UserID = Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER") Response.Cookies("User")("ID") = UCASE(UserID)
When I immediately log the cookie value retrieved from Request.Cookies("User")("ID") into the Windows Event Log, I get the correct value. However, when I try to retrieve the cookie on the home page of my application using the same code,
Request.Cookies("User")("ID"), it either cannot find the cookie or cannot read the value. I am retrieving the cookie before all HTML headers are written. It is my first statement on the page after Option Explicit. I have even compared the session IDs. The SessionID created in the Session_OnStart is the same value as the SessionID on the home page.
I have read that the Session_OnStart only has access to the Application, Session and Request objects. It does not explicitly say that it does not have access to the Response object. Also, I was even able to use Response.Write's in Global.asa to print out the values although it looked like it had also stopped the session after I did so. Cookies are definitely enabled on my machine. I have even tried setting the session cookie's expiration to be persistent for a few days to see if it was perhaps expiring before I was able to read it but this did not work either.
Is there something preventing cookies to be created in Global.asa in the Session_OnStart sub? Is the Response object not available??? Please let me know if anyone else has had this problem or solution.
if it was possible to put a function in the global.asa that would call/run a page every x minutes. I have an ASP page that writes a text file and I want that file to be updated/rewritten in the background every 30 minutes so that pages that call the file are current. I have requirements as to why it can't just be a dynamic page and needs to be a text/htm file.
im tryin to secure my application. i want the application to send the user back to the login page if they have not logged into the system. do i use the global.asa file or is there a simpler way to do this?
I created a web page from Excel2000, using "Save as web page..."...Publish function. then, I moved htm file to my IIS web server. Then I added a form control, and submit button.
How can get the data on the excel file using ASP from server side? For example, the value of Cell(1,2), Cell(2,3)....
What I want to be able to do is create a user control that will display an entire page page within it. Does anyone know how to do this or better yet have any same code?
I like to know how to write this specifc function on ASP where the user eg: display a set of records on the webpage. Example the data are ID, Name and address.
Lets say i display the data on the webpage and i set the Name as the <a href>. So when i click on the name, it will move to another page with the id of the specific name. Code:
I have an ActiveX control in my ASP page that has not been signed yet, so currently just for testing I set the Security for Intranet to "Low". When I run the ASP page on my machine (the IIS is in my machine), I have no problem, except the page prompted me with "An ActiveX control on this page might be unsafe to interact with other parts of the page. Do you want to allow this interaction?"
But, when I run the ASP page on another machine (even though the other machine is also a development machine that already has the ActiveX control and I set the Security for Intranet to "Low"), it did not prompt me the above message, and I got an error when accesing any method of the AX control (e.g Object doesn't support this property or method 'myAXControl.method').
Is this because I have to create a CAB file and mark the AX control as safe for scripting ?To create a CAB file for this AX control, do I need to create my own VB AX Control project that contains this control and then create a cab file for this VB project ?
I am having a problem with a site that I am developing - my aim is for it to validate as XHTML Strict however, I am running into a couple of problems validating it; in my Response.Write ASP script, I am not including " 's to define page element tags as they keep throwing up errors in the page. Code:
I've a strange problem with Windows Vista, running an ASP page on local machine (http://localhost/test.asp), the page does not give me any error but the asp code is not executed (simple code : <% response.write("hello") %), it show me a blank page, I think I've put all the setttings correctly, but maybe I must do something obvious to fix that.
I encounter a page reload situation in ASP. It is I need a way to differentiate whether the current page - "Application_Result.asp" got reloaded itself when user click on the browserRefresh button or is requested by the previous page "Application_Form.asp".
I tried using <%if Request.ServerVariables("REQUEST_METHOD") = "POST" then%> <!--it is requested from "Application_Form.asp, do something--> <%else%> <!--Application_Result.asp refreshed itself(such as user clicks on the browser Refresh button, do something else--> <%end if%>
However, in both cases, the IF statement above all evaluated as true. how to differentiate this two different behavior (Page Refresh versus Page requested by another Page) ?
I have page for user to update his/her details. What i want is after idle for more than 20 mins, the page will redirect to login page automatically. So that the user knows that his/her session already expired and need to login again.
But it doesn't working. This is because if he/she update the details (after idle more than 20 mins), and click the Submit button, it will go to login page and all the data will be lost. Code:
I am working with a developer, on two portions to a site, he is working in PHP and my work is done in ASP.
Is it possible for my pages to request data from a cookie that was written by his pages that are PHP but residing on the same server? Just want to make sure before I spend too much time planning out the development on my end.
I have an application which allow users to search our database. Quite a lot of search fields pull data from other tables. I don't want to populate the dropdowns (total 14 of them) from the database everytime as it slow the page load.
Instead I would like to have a link next to the text field which a user and click and the choices can be displayed and whatever the user click in the pop up I want to transfer it to the text box and close the popup.
For example there is a Textbox called country. The user can either type in the country name or click on the link which will pull all the countries from table in the database and which ever country user selects, the textbox is popluated with the country name and the pop up closes automatically. Code:
I'm trying to write an asp page line by line, as one would create a text file, only my file will end in .asp.
One line simply writes a close ASP code tag, or
FILECONTENTS=FILECONTENTS & "%>"
When this line processed, an error occurs saying that the string was never terminated because the asp page attempting to write this line of code to a NEW asp page reads that close ASP tag (%>), as an actual close asp tag for itself, instead of a STRING value.
How do I write this %> symbol to a new asp file, while still maintaining its purpose to close a group of asp code in the newly created page?
But as i carry some data from previous previous page, when i use (window.opener.location = window.opener.location), it can't capture my data as it just load the page. It will pop up error as no data captured :
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d' Type mismatch: '[string: ""]'
I am looking for a way to pass an ADO recordset that has been retrieved in an ASP page to another HTML-page. Is there someone who can provide me with a small sample or a link to see how this is done?

What is the best way to lead customer from a regular page to a secured page?
Regularly, we use absolute path. say first ,a customer is on this regular page for general information: http://xxxdomain.com/index.html, then customer decides to buy something from our site. Then our program will provide an absolute path like this: https://xxxdomain.com/buy.asp.
Recently I am doing migration and feel that the absolute path is not convenient for program migration and domain merge. So I am wodering if there is any other way to do it? any suggestions and comments?

Is there a way I can make my server's 404 page display even when a correct page is requested?
Here's what I'm doing: on a certain page, the requestor's IP number is checked. If the number is an intranet number (192.168.x.x or 10.x.x.x), then the user is allowed to see the page. Otherwise, I want the 404 page to appear, as if the page doesn't even exist.
I write a page in HTML ,user can print it I want to fix page size in print page set up to (legal) that doesn't need user every time change option how I can do this.
I am in the process of developing an application and would like to hide the query strings in the URLs. I want to POST data to a page then validate the data. If there is an error I have to send data back via a long query string. Is there anyway to POST data between pages programmatically?
