I have a couple of pre-built ASP scripts running on my site. One is a mailing list application and the other is subscription/user management app. The two aren't related - they were programmed by different people and use separate dbs.
I have a problem where the user has to hit the login button twice in order to succesfully login. On the mailing list app, as soon as I try to login the first time, I get an error that says "Your session has timed out".
Then once I re-login, everything is fine. The subscription app has the same problem in addition to timimg out very quickly if the user is inactive for even a couple minutes.
Do you think this is a problem with the way the web server is setup for session timeouts, or is there some code in each of these ASP scripts that need to be fixed?
I want to have different user sessions timeout at different time intervals. How can we make this possible in ASP with and without using database tables.
I'm doing a query on a webproxy log, which is a pretty large table. I'm only doing a query on a single days worth, but could be upwards of 250000 records.
Originally I got a timeout error saying to increase the time using Server.ScriptTimeout so I put Server.ScriptTimeout = "900" at the top of my script. This didn't seem to help. Now I got this error: a.. Error Type:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80004005) [Microsoft][ODBC SQL Server Driver]Timeout expired /suntest.asp, line 39
This time it didn't mention what type of timeout I'm experiencing, at least, not that I can see. Code:
I connect to a databae with my ASP code to run special reports and every now and then the DB server seperate from the server I have the ASP on is really being used and I get SQL timeouts after 60 seconds.
to connect I use a DSN. Is there a way to set the timeout to 360seconds instead of 60 when using a DSN?
We are using ASP.NET on IIS5 to process requests in a database.
How can one make choices in the .aspx based on if a user has or hasn't changed a field? Is it possible to control the ASP.NET environment by use of some client side scripting ( ?changes=yes to URL) or is there a way to tell in .aspx which Label elements has changed?
Only solution i can think of currently is to query the DB and then do an field by field comparision. Is that the best way?
I've been using text files for Tab-Delimited/ADO/ASP sites so that users can update and display their products lists through my system with relative ease.
Only problem is that for the last few months or so, this system has been generating loads of timeouts. ISP has said that I should be looking to upgrade my system, as it is the mechanics of it that are creaking under the strain. My queries are:
a) Which REALLY performs better OLEDB DSN-less or ODBC DSN-less?
b) If I convert the system to use 1 Access DB rather than 50-odd tab-delimited text files will this REALLY perform better in relation to timeouts?
To give you some idea of the problems, the site can viewed by going to www.bardwells.co.uk and clicking the Product List link.
I just can't understand it because the pages on the whole are very lean and zippy (esp. ADSL), but its these exact same Broadband users who seem to have more trouble with timeouts than dial-up ones.
I'm beta testing a community membership site using ACCESS/asp on IIS5/windows server, shared with other sites. The performance is not consistent - sometimes OK, sometimes very slow and sometimes data access scripts time out (even when timeout set to 5 minutes) - sometimes the server recovers, and others a re-boot is necessary.
Can some one tell me if there are (or where I can find out if there are) performance issues involving 1. shared servers 2. incorrect data access set-up resulting in data access (e.g.concurrency/record locking, etc) problems 3. possible sloppy asp coding resulting un resource-hogging/non release, record locking etc.
I have an ASP page which pulls in, say, 800 records from a table containing ~ 1 million rows (and growing) - I use a command object and this calls a stored procedure, passing 5 parameters to the stored procedure from the querystring.
Now, if I run the stored proc from Query Analyzer, it takes between 25 and 40 seconds.
If I run it from the ASP page, if it takes LESS than 30 secs to generate then I get the output fine, but as soon as the 30 seconds elapse without anything being returned, I get a "Timeout expired" error.
I have taken the following action to eradicate, but all to no avail.
1.) Added Server.ScriptTimeout = 1000 into the page itself 2.) Upped the Script timeout figure in IIS for the application the report is within. 3.) Added a "Connect timeout=1000" line into my connectionstring (I was clutching at straws here...)
None of these alterations made any difference, so i'm a bit miffed.
I have a site that I'm trying to migrate to ASP.NET from ASP, and the foremost stumbling block I'm hitting is session state between the ASP and ASP.NET applications. In order to access this information, I'm doing a HttpWebRequest from the ASP.NET side into an .asp page, passing the session name on the get in order to request it from the ASP side and write it back to the response stream, giving ASP.NET access to it. Of course I change sessions each time I make the call from the ASP.NET side.
Soooooo, I'm thinking to myself, "Self, shouldn't you be able to fake out the server by getting the session cookie from the initial usage of the asp, pass that data to the ASP.NET, and use that to send a request back the ASP side under the appropriate session?"
From a real high level, I enter the site via a .asp page. This page in turn calls .aspx page from within a frame ......
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 a site developed using ASP, but each page I enter has a different session id when accessing the site using the domain name of the site. When accessing the site from my network and using the internal IP address, it is OK. Any ideas?
I wrote a website, which uses the session to store and track some vars.
Now I am gonna to covert it to desktop application by Activesite compiler 5, however, it doesnot support session , cookie , application() . SO ,I have no idea to find something can instead of session.
My orignal processing: Session -> modify Session var -> store to Database.
There is a problem about ASP session ID. ASP session is implemented by storing session id in a session cookie, but I read this cookie in ISAPI Filter, get a string as following: ASPSESSIONIDQADCQQTS = IAOFCBBCGDGMDGCNJIKPNBAN
But the real session ID is 554851848. (Real sessionID is sessionID property the ASP session object)
Problem is what is relation between them? And how to get real session ID from cookie session ID.
I did a session("adminlogin")=1, if I post it to the same page, it returns true. But if I response.redirect to another page. This value doesn't exist anymore. This is on the actual server where all the ms security is updated.
The same script worked okay on my test server (the security patch not patched yet.)
Has anyone encountered this? How do you overcome it?
I tried searching the net it says the problem lies with a ms security patch. How I wish I can unintall that patch.
I have asp and asp.net web application. When I run it in IE7 in first tab it starts a new session. When I open second tab and browse to the same site the new session is not started (infact I need to have new session there).
Whereas, 2 IE instances generate 2 unique sessions. Only issue is with IE tabs. Firefox also has similar things but lets not talk about firefox here. I am more concerned with IE only.
In my login script I set session("User") = rs("User") the session timeout is set to 20 min
Do I need to setup some kind of update session variable on each page so that the timeout does run out or does iis update the variable aslong as I'm browsing the website ?
And another thing, <% application("something") %> works fine on my test server but once I implement it onto the main webserver I dont get any text out, is there some kind of switch that enables this function ?
My buttons default as you can see in the code. But I now want to take what is already choosen in database and chose apropriate button. Can I use a session to choose a radio button? Code:
I am using the session(loggedin) to see if a user is logged into that section of the site. The problem is that it is timing out on them, is there a way to define the length of the session (I think it times out at 10 or 20 mins currently), but to extend it to an hour or so. Any thoughts.
I've developed a shopping cart app in ASP, to secure transaction by SSL, it 've put only the checkout page in SSL but all other pages i.e. product, cart etc remains on non SSL connection. How can I track user session from non SSL to SSL checkout page as the SessionID changes when shifting to SSL (to prevent session stealing/ hijacking). I'm tracking user session by putting SessionID in cart DB with products. Given below the preview of cart table ....
I have a page that a user is logged in via a session that displays a thumbnail of a picture. The picture is a link to the full size image. When there is no target="_blank" in the code, it works fine.... except it needs to open in a new window. When I add target="_blank" the new open browser window seems to act as a whole new session (even though no session.abandon or anything had been called). I need it to keep the session, but in a new window. What do I need to do, and why is it doing this? Is a JavaScript window opener the (only) way to go?
I'm building a Shopping Cart, but then right away i've stumbled on a little problem. I need to Hold things a costomer is buying in a session. However I can't declare Session as an Aray.
Session("item_id")(2) doesn't work- right? So i was thinking maybe I can create an aray, and then somehow hold it's reference in a session("item_id"). I will apreciate if someone can show me how to save aray into the session, and how to extract it from there later on.
I'm setting up 2 websites for a friend of mine, en I'm have problems with one of the sites.The situation: I have 2 different domains (both in the .NL domain). Both domains provides the possibility for users to log in. The loginscript and the databases are hosted at server 1. The site at server 2 contains a link to the loginpage at server 1. That works well... so far. The problem is that when I log in at server 2, he doesn't accept it. I found out that the Session variable I use isn't recognised. I use Session("protected") to keep track of the users who are logged in. When there credentials are right according to the database, Session("protected")=True and the loginpage gives a redirection to partner.asp by doing Response.Redirect "partner.asp". Trying to log in from server 1 works fine, trying to log in from server 2 doesn't. My questions therefore are: 1. Is the Session variable rememberd by server 2 (although server 1 contains the loginpage en gives a redirection to a page on server 1) 2. What can I do to correct this problem? Your answers are appreciated, and sorry for the possible worse language in this message (English is not my native language ;))
Once a user logs in, I created a session.After he logs out and if he clicks the back he should not see the previous pages and only should be redirected to the main.asp
