what might be the reason for losing session variables, i was working on a page where i had to stroe a array in a session(trust me that was the only 'way' i could imagine doing it), and i am losing the session variable, its just returning empty values.
View RepliesI recently upgraded my web server and SQL server to Windows Server 2003. I am running MS SQL 7.0 on the SQL Server. I had been running my application on Windows NT and experienced no issues for about 3 years. Now on the new servers I am getting multiple errors and I think I might be losing my session variables.
The errors I am getting are similar to errors I would get in NT when I was logged in to the app but inactive for a long period of time and attempted to resume work. Code:
I have been trying to solve this for some time now. I am setting a session variable to a value and calling response.redirect(). In the redirected page i am reading the session variable and it is blank. I printed the sessionid on both the pages to make sure that i have not lost the session itself.
The ids are the same on both the pages. It is just that all the session variable have becoce blank. I even looped through the session variables and all the session variables i created in the first page are present in the second page also, but without
their assigned values.
How can I resolve the issue of session variables losing information with IIS 4.0 and I.E. 5.0? I changed the regsitry setting Microsoft suggests but that did not work.
View Replies View RelatedMy ASP (VBScript) application is losing sessions after only moments of being logged in.
Sesssion.Auth is set at login - 'session("auth") = true' - and checked as each page loads with an if statement containing - 'AND not session("auth")'.
It is running on Windows Server 2003. The problem occurs only on the live site....the test site is on IIS 5.1.
The production system is running on NT. I have two test systems, one on 2000 server and one on XP Pro. All run IIS, server version depending on OS. All the pages check to make sure that the user logged on by checking the variable Session.Contents("LoggedIn").
One page changes directories: from https://<domain>/<virtual directory 1>/<virtual directory 2>/page.asp to https://<domain>/<virtual directory 1>/<virtual directory 3>/nextpage.asp.
It works fine in production. In both test systems the value of Session.Contents("LoggedIn") is lost and so the user is redirected to the login screen.
This has happened since I copied the production site to my test sites. Any ideas?
i have page1.asp that has a form and two text fields that user can enter and submit...
ok now i am sending these form variables to page2.asp..no problem here...
now page2.asp has a include file called page3.asp....in page2.asp we call some functions that are available in page3.asp...one of the funtions calls back the page2.asp...
at this point of time i am losing the form variables on page2.asp that i had from page1.asp since page2.asp is being called from the function in a include file(page3.asp) and not from page1.asp
how can i overcome this situation and still retain my form values on page2.asp
I have created an asp page with a submit button in it. On the onclick event I have written a java script to open a new pop up window that does the file upload. Unfortunately, whenever I click on the submit button to pop up the new window,I lose session. Any clues on how to persist my session value.
View Replies View RelatedCurrently there is a web user that always gets an error on our application due to a missing session variable. All other session variables are still in tact, but this one seems to disappear and hence the user can no longer access everything on the site.
Any ideas as to where this value goes? I've checked my ASP code and saw nothing that would re-set this variable's value. Moreover, only a couple of users experience this problem.
What causes this error:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01fb'An exception occurred: 'open'
It occours only sometimes
I want to create an administration page which lists all the current users who are on the site at the moment.
I know coldfusion has this feature built in using the SessionTracker class... does ASP have something similar? If not... is there any way I can just iterate through all the session files on the server...?
I have developed an application in asp which is available over intranet. the first page of the site is a login page and allows the users to enter their credentials and login.
The login page is a simple html page. The site works fine , but after quitting if it is left idle for about 30 mins, the next user who tries to login it takes about a minute to process to finally enter the site. after which it again becomes fast.
what can be the reason for the site being slow only when it is accessed after being left idle for some time?
I have a form on a .asp page that when submitted via post to itself its values are grabbed by asp and put into an sql statement. From there the records are generated depending on the criteria selected in the form. What I would like some help or guidance is if no records match the criteria how can I generate a meesage that states which criteria in the request did not match.
So if the form submitted is looking for a home in Michigan, Ranch Style, with 2 car garage, 3 bedrooms, 2 baths, between 1000 to 1500 square feet and there is no record that matches that criteria a response is given that the reason for no match is because the 2 bath criteria didn't match or because the 2 bath and the square footage criteria didn't match.
I have the form working with asp already. When there is no record I have a simple statement that says "sorry, no homes matched your criteria" I would like to state why there was no match.
Not sure if this is the right place but I need to get this website going and am having problems with the ODBC driver connecting to the SQL server When setting up the driver I am getting a sql error 18452 login failed reason: not associated with a trusted SQL connection I am at a loss as I installed this on another machine and it worked.
View Replies View RelatedI am using Session variables in my ASP application. I have tested the
application on a Win2k professional and it works fine. When the same web
app is installed on a win2k advanced server from the client browser when the
app is accessed the session variable returns null inspite of a value being
already set. I have checked the IIS enable session state settings. When i
use the server machine as client and access the app as localhost then the
session variable has correct value.
How can this be solved? What other settings if any, need to be changed to
get it work.
Do session variables carry over if you've left your site and come back?
My shopping cart uses PayPal/IPN to transact and then enter details of the transaction into my database. All of the data entry takes place after IPN has returned all of the data to my site.
A couple of the fields I need to populate are held in session variables throughout the application. When the customer clicks on the checkout button, and is sent over to PayPal's server to complete the transaction, will the session variables still be available to me upon returning to my site?
Is there a way to close a single session variable, once it's been created? I have an application that requires a several session variables to be created once a person enteres a certian section of my site. When they leave the variables are set to nothing, as they are no longer needed. I'd like to just close them out, but I will still need to keep the session open, so Session.Abandon will not work in this case.
View Replies View RelatedI recently reformatted my PC and reinstalled ISS onto Windows 2000.
Since I have done that, my local sites don't work as they used to.
By that I mean, if I have a login page, such as this: Code:
On my IIS 5.0 i have enable session state set to 20 minutes
ASP SCRIPT TIMEOUT set to 200 seconds.
On my asp pages i even coded in session.timeout = 60
When i check the value of one of my sessions on a page i
am being returned to main page.
i.e If session("basket") = "" then
go to mainpage.asp
When i check the session.timeout on the page this is set
to 60
If i wait around for a few minutes i.e 5 then i am taken
back to mainpage.asp...
The server is not given me the 20 minutes session state.
I cannot seem to get session variables to work on our test server.
The test server is running windows server 2000 with service pack 4, iis 5.0.2195.6620, and sql server 2000.
However, on our main server, NT 4.0 fully updated, they do work.
Could anyone enlighten me as to why session variables don't work on Windows Server 2000?
We have different types of logins for our accounts on our intranet. When a
person logs in, a Session variable is set to determine their level of
access. For sake of argument, say the two LoginTypes are Manager and
Employee.When I log in (as a Manager), I get a certain set of options on the
homepage. Then I return to the login page, after logging in as myself, and
log in as an Employee. For some reason, the page seems "cached" and the
manager options will still display. If I refresh this page, it will appear
the way it should. I *think* this only happens when I copy/paste a URL that
I was at as a Manager. I believe that if I click a link, it displays
properly.Is there a way to prevent this? I do a ton of copying/pasting
URLs.
I would like to declare a session variable.
' Use session variables for the recordsets for the GetSubordinates and IsManager functions
Dim orgStructRS
set orgStructRS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
Where can I declare this session variables?
Once I use the recordset in both the functions, where do I close these recordsets?
I have read couple of articles warning against the use of storing VB COM
objects (Apartment Threading) in Session Variables due to the fact that
these variables could go bad.My question is what's the workaround this?
I have also read about making ASP Stateless...I'm guessing that means
turning the session and application variables off and if you do that
then how do you pass information for a particular user from one page to
another?I'm confused about how to get an ASP site working without using
Application and Session variables as well as not storing VB COM objects
in Session Variables.
I have a session variable in a login page. Then I go to a form page where I
uses the ProfileID and the UserID. Then I go to a result page where I would
like to use the UserID as a filter, but I can't get the value is stored in it.
I'm loading a variable into the session variables that will be for checking to see if the user can access a certain area of the website. When the user logs out or gives and incorrect login password is it better to kill off all the variables using session.abandon or to set the session access variable to False?
I'm not really concerned about using the servers resources with this one variable, but I would like to keep the server as free as possible.
I've noticed that in my ASP application that session variables are not carried over from
one IE6 open browser window to another.
Can anyone tell me how IE can do this? It seems like it's a useful protection mechanism
that I can add to my application.
BTW, I'm looking for a way to determine if someone is moving cookies between computers.
How IE and/or ASP handles sessions might give me some insights (and I'm open to
suggestions as to how to prevent cookie stealing?)
I have an ASP [Classic] application running under IIS 5 & 6 [on different
servers (obviously)]
I need to implement Session() variables to cache some frequently looked up
data. Because of the nature of the data, it is best held in the Session()
rather than the Application() object.Is there a limit to the how long the parameter name can be?
For example:
Session("HairColour") - the parameter name length her is 10 characters -
what's the max length (is there a max length)?
I ask because my code will generate these parameter names on the fly and I
don't want them to break anything
I have a question regarding ASP session variables.
My assumption was that a session variable has the same lifetime as the
session itself: as a consequence, given that closing the browser doesn't
terminate the session, the session variable is kept alive until the
session expires.But, surprisingly, I've found this to be true for the session variables
whose value is set in the global.asa file, but if the value is set in an
..asp script, it appears to be erased from the session object as soon as
the browser is closed although the session is still alive. Strange. Is
this a bug?What I'd need to know is: how I can make session variables whose value
is set in an .asp script persistent as long as the session is alive.
In my GLOBAL.ASA file I'm trying to create a session variable for reference
in the various webpages of my site....
Sub Session_OnStart
Session("LoggedOn")="Y"
End Sub
When referring to Session("LoggedOn") on my various ASP pages, it is coming
up as "".
I'm obviously misunderstanding how this works... Can anyone point me the
right direction?
Eventually I'll need to access a database and I'm assuming that if I need to
connect to that database, that I'll need to create the connection in the
Session_OnStart event and destroy the connection in the Session_OnEnd event
of the GLOBAL.ASA file.
I need to hold some session variables on an intermediate page for later use . My problem is I dont know Where to store the session command. Do I put it in the head of the page of the form I get the Variable from , do I put it into the response page (I am using The POST method) or Where ?
View Replies View RelatedOn the index page of my site the following code creates a unique user id in the form:
{B851C038-989D-4BE9-B280-32F6A97FEDEC}
if session("userid") = "" then
session("userid") = left(createobject("scriptlet.typelib").guid,38)
end if
This is checked in every page to make sure the user has an id with the following code:
if session("userid") = "" then
response.redirect "index.asp"
end if
When the user has finally finished filling their webcart the userid is posted to the database but for some reason, with about 1 in 5 visitors to the site the database saves an empty field for the userid.
Does anyone know of any issues with session variables or any browser / config that could cause this to happen.
In client-side script (<script> codes </script>), how can set / get session
variables' values?
I am having some trouble with seesion variables.
I have just moved hosting companies to Brinkster.com but have been
having problems with my applications holding session.
They say they can't guarantee sessions and recomend another method of
storing persistant data.
I questioned them on why, only on their servers, my sessions are being
reset as often as they are. They said it must be a coding issue.
However, I have not had trouble before, with same applications on
different or local servers.
So my question is this, what can reset session data? Just a reset of
iis?
