my questions are
1. How do I execute a program using asp (any scripting language), without the user taking any action.
2. To close the program (written in VB6) do I include something in the program itself, or do I close it w/ asp?
what is the best way to run a file via vbscript. lets say I have a exe or batch file and I want to run it. how? and then.. how do I do this... Code:
var oShell = new ActiveXObject("Shell.Application");
...in vbscript?
I am working on a legacy application written in Classic ASP with VB6 COM+ components running on Windows 2003 Adv Server (32bit). There is one page in the app that uses Secure FTP to send a file to another application server upon a certain type of data change.
Anonymous user posts the form - ASP code instantiates the COM+ component which is starting using a Domain User -Calls a method that creates the comma delimited data file and then calls the SFTP method.
i'd like to know if it is possible with asp to launch a local application (exe file like word or any else).
View Replies View RelatedI'd like to launch an executable file from a web page. Basically, the user
enters seven parameters and then clicks a button to generate a graph. The
input is written to a file and then read by the exe. The exe then generates
a graph based upon the input parameters.
I am reading about the Process class and wondering if that is the best
approach to this. Can you recommend a KB article?
I am deploying many ASP apps and many of them are onto client internal
servers. I was wondering if there was an option to compile my entire ASP
project into an installation executable for easy deployment?
I am test developing an internal webserver, on Windows XP, and IIS 5.1, with
ASP and MySQL.
One specific page is created from user input and database records in
previous pages and presents a page with customised data and a webform. It
then takes input from the form and session variables and passes these to an
vb exe in the the wwwroot using the from
http://localhost/example.exe?testparameters. The vb exe takes the command
line parameter input and does its thing and it all works, but I am aware
this is a very insecure way of doing this and I implemented this only as a
quick workaround so I could test implement it all then refine it for
deployment.
My question is, what is the best way for input to be passed from a web form
to an vb executable for it to do its thing. The exe will eventually
preferably run as a service, or at least all ways be active on the server,
and not starting for every request then ending, as I was hoping to allow for
sorting and queueing of requests passed to the exe, before they are
executed. Code:
If I allow people to upload GIF or JPG files on my site, is there a technical possibility to upload an executable file disguised as gif or jpg and execute it on my server?
View Replies View Relatedi am using frontpage 2003. I have an image that I have sliced in Photoshop, saved as an html and opened it with FP2K3. What I would like to do is find a way to add a .cmd or .exe or .bat file to a section of the html code. Can this be done?
What I am trying to do is pick either a hotspot or hyperlink and embedd the executable, so that when picked it runs. all it is really doing is rdp'ing to a session on the server.
I am attempting to have an asp page call a batch file. I had it working, I was high on life and then I decided to log off the server. Once I did, the code would no longer work. When I logged back onto the server, I saw:

I am very new to asp programing, so this may seem a silly question but here goes.
I am creating a page that will generate random lotter numbers. I have created the actual code to generate the numbers and have added the code to the top of the page. the problem is the code runs when the page loads and I want it to run only on the click of a button.
I read various starter tutorials and none seem to mention how to asign code to the click of a button.
I know there have been posts about this issue before, but I can't seem to find what I'm looking for. I'm not well versed in ASP, but in PHP there is a function called exec. This launches a process. I can call a PHP script from the command line and have it run in the background i.e.
<?php
exec(php myscript.php &);
?>
is there a way to do the same thing with ASP? I want to run an ASP script in the background
I am trying to run an ASP page in IIS 6.0 and I keep getting one of

The remote procedure call failed and did not execute.
I have Win XP. It's been running fine for a long time and then
yesterday, for no apparent reason, I get this. I've tried the links
to asp.faq that I've seen others post and nothing works.
As a test, I created a simple ASP page with just '<%
Response.Write("Hello") %>' in it and still the error occurs so it's
not a scripting or database problem. DotNet seems to run fine and I
can run HTML pages, I also have Apache and can run PHP scripts with no
problem ... everything except classic ASP.
Any ideas? This is driving me crazy and I need IIS running because I
am falling behind in my work. As I mentioned, I've been running ASP
scripts on this machine for years and have never seen this problem.
I have Xp prof, IIs 5.1, .NET2003 on my machine.
I had the error "Visual studio.net has detected that the
specified web server is not runnning ASP.Net version 1.1.
Yow will be unable to run ASP.Net web applications or
services." in .NET 2003.
I fixed it by running the IIS mappings for ASP.NET,
aspnet_regiis -r. But I figured that my IIS had some issue
and I had to register the dll for IIS.
After doing that my .net is throwing the same
error, "Visual studio.net has detected that the specified
web server is not runnning ASP.Net version 1.1. Yow will
be unable to run ASP.Net web applications or services."
I ran the aspnet_regiis -r again it is overwriting the
1.1 .net framework scripts but the error in .Net is not
fixed.
I know my webserver is running Ok because I can develop
ASP pages using Visual Interdev and my default website is
running fine.
Recently, I made a few ASP files connecting to MS Access file with security, I used IIS to test ASP files.
After it is done, I want the ASP files are accessed for each person via network in the company computer with security.

Do I need to create a partition for network drive to run the ASP file/a server for running it?

View Replies View RelatedI am setting up a new server for an already running website. The problem is the person before me ran ASP scripts on .html extension pages (The old machine is a windows 2000 server with IIS 5.0). Now when I transfer all the pages on to the new machine I am having trouble running the ASP scripts on the .html pages.
The pages work fine when I rename them to .asp. But with the ..html extension I cannot run the scripts. I am thinking that I am missing some settings or some dlls which take care of running the ASP scripts on the ..html page. But I do not know what I am missing. Please post if you know
anything about this.
if there are any disadvantages for running my whole site on SSL server (i.e All pages would run on SSL after the user logs in to their account).PS: The service I provide on my site doesn't require users to login everyday to their account. So I don't expect that heavy load.
