Session Vars In ASP App Under IIS6 Not Sticking
Developed a basic ASP web site with MS Access 2k3 as a database
back end. I've developed it on two different Win2k3 servers, and app works
flawlessly on both.
However, we just moved it to a client's Win2k3 Server,
and it's not holding any session variables. It IS, however, holding
Application variables, but not session variables.
I checked all the usual
things (MS KB, ASPFAQ, etc), but none of them provided any solution. The
only difference I can find between the three servers is that one has the
Enhanced IE Security whosiwhatsis loaded, whereas mine don't.

Is possible to terminate all session variable created
without closing the browser
I do not want users to click on BACK button on browser or paste the url link
in the http:// and shows the record displayed after logout. This works fine
if users close the Browser.

I'm sure we've all heard the warnings about using cookies instead of session variables to store all of that user data so that our servers don't get bogged down. I'm just wondering how serious is this. I mean, is it just a suggestion or do these variables really take up a large amount of memory per visitor?
"Why would it matter? Just use cookies!" might be your response. Well, say I'm creating a user backend to edit a news section for a company. Now, I realize that the company newsletter is not mission critical information, but my novice-programming gut will not let me sit at ease if I store usernames and passwords in cookie data. What's to prevent someone else from looking at that local machine and fake my cookies, or even directly login with the information contained there-in?
For a recent backend along these lines, I stored a custom class in a session variable (all of you hardcore ASP guys can take a deep breath and stop twitching ). The class basically contained a copy of that user's database record (a user id, the username, the password, the e-mail address, and a few different permission variables).
I did this for two reasons:
1) I filtered all of my content through default.asp (meaning that each url looked something like default.asp?p=events where p was the real page request). Doing this allowed me to simply check the user's credentials in the default.asp script and then server.transfer them to the real page contained in the p querystring variable. I used the session-stored class after the first login (so I didn't have to hit the DB with each page request but could still make sure they had access to the site).
2) I knew before-hand that this system was only going to be used by 10-15 people max, and only 1 or 2 would be logged on at a time, let alone most of the idle time when no one was logged in (basically, it was a very low-load system so I didn't mind being unconventional). Code:

I'm involved in quite a large project which has a slightly unusual
form of login (at least I think it's unusual!). I'm creating a site in
ASP (actually Chilisoft ASP) where access to all pages has to be
secured via login. The odd bit is that while the login page will be on
this site, the login process itself will be carried out on a
completely separate domain - this is the client's requirement so I
have no choice.
On login, the user will be assigned a 24 hour cookie by this 2nd
domain and then be passed back to the site I'm involved with. My site
then needs to assign a similar cookie (I'm assming that I won't be
able to read the other domain's cookie) and allow access to the site
for 24 hours.
I'm wondering if it's most efficient to assign a session variable to
indicate the user is logged in once my cookie has been generated
(rather than have every page check for a cookie again) and on
subsequent sessions during the 24 hour period to 1st check for session
var, then the cookie and then, if cookie exists, to assign the session
variable again.

is there a quick way to reset all the used session variables onb a server in one hit rather than using Code:

I was wondering if there was a way to pass the entire collection of ASP
Session variables into a COM function.
Inside COM, I need to have something like
Public Function ProcessVars(ByRef Session as <SomeSessionVarType>)
End Function
Which reference do I need to include in my VB6 project?

Im trying to find why my hosted server won't maintain session state.
Its not a web farm (not load balanced), its all the same server
An application requires a session to be set and then recalled (like you do
:)
However, since the server software was upgraded from IIS 5 to 6, the working
code no longer works.
(ie - login with session variables but get logged out immediately the page
changes)
Using simple code like <%=session.sessionid%> on the IIS6 server, and
refreshing the page shows a new ID most times - it should be the same id??
Testing on the old server (IIS5) would keep the same session id.
Where do I start looking and what pertinent questions do I need to ask my
host?

I have an asp application running on both iis5 and iis6. (not .net) The server ruhnning IIS5 has no problem running my application. IIS6 randomly times out WEB users. The session timeout is set for 60 minutes. I will get timed out in iis6 in less than 5 minutes. Are there any other settings that can be changed to stop this from happening.

it's that time again. Time to learn a new language, and I picked ASP. I've got this:
<asp:HyperLinkField DataTextField="BeenPaid" DataNavigateUrlFields="BeenPaid,BillName" HeaderText="BeenPaid" DataNavigateUrlFormatString="Default2.aspx?BeenPaid={0}&BillName={1}" ItemStyle-HorizontalAlign="Center" />
It works fine, it makes links of the stuff that is pulled outa the database. An example url it made is:
Default2.aspx?BeenPaid=False&BillName=Verizon
how do I get those vars out of the url in the Default2.aspx page. In php it was $_GET["BeenPaid"]

I have an application that uses SQL extensively. However some of what it
uses SQL for (the results) are fairly static and change in the database very
rarely. Would it be more efficient to store this information in application
variables rather than doing SQL queries each time? Its a pretty heavily
utilized application. Would application variables be able to handle the
traffic?

I've got a software package that generates nice roll-over menus. The code generated is javascript. I want to edit the javascript to prevent specific menu buttons from appearing based on security/permissions settings. These permissions are contained in ASP session vairables. So, in the js I want to check for an ASP session("perms")... If I place <% if ... %> in the js file--it errors.

I guess this is a continuation of my erlier problem which I thought I had solved.
I have several inputs being passed from one page where they are inputed in, to a preview page so the user can chek there info, then it will be passed to a page to submit the info to a data base.
I have a input that is the item description var name of �prodesc�. It pass from the input page to the preview page just fine. Then I use the same method to pass it to the next page to save it to a data base, but when it gets to the submit page the var �prodesc� only has the first word of the description that was shown on the previous page? Any one know why its acting like its been trimmed? Code:

I am working on an ecommerce app and want to be able to take my entire POST results as one item (or iterate through them) and check for any malicious SQL INJECTION items. After checking/escaping them i want to save them back into the post results. The reason for this is because I have coded the entire app and just learned about the dangers of SQL Injection and rather than going through every post var and fix it I would rather run a function at the beginning of each page.

for debugging purposes, I am wondering if it is possible to have an ASP script that:
-creates a tabel with two columns
-writes a var name in the first column
-writes its value in the second column
is this possible? Right now, I have manually created this tabel for myself, but everytime a new var is defined, I have to update my 'debug' table. Can this be automated?

a customer already has a website with ASP pages to request a call from a salesman... and it emails HQ with about 20 form values and also emails the customer.
what we'd like to do in a simple way is store those 20 fields somewhere they can be downloaded as well, instead of messing with the emails. but i don't want to mess with any rdbms (cause we don't have access to the server--- long story) so i'm wondering if some simple commands can just write the data to a physical file somewhere in webroot so it can be downloaded at a later time.

I'm currently testing a version of Win2003 to evaluate a migration of our
NT4 server, but I got some troubles with Office Web Component 9 (office
2000), it seems it doesn't work anymore, and I can't find the issue.
When I make a Set objSpreadsheet = Server.CreateObject("OWC.Spreadsheet"), I
got an error :
Server object error 'ASP 0177 : 800401f3'
Server.CreateObject Failed
/test/include/./include_asp/excel-class.asp, line 10
800401f3
So I thought it was a "Web service extension" problem, prohibited por
default by IIS6, I authorized MSOWC.dll but nothing changed...
Then I decided to setup OWC11 and it seems to works fine.... even if I don't
authorized it... (is it a normal behaviour ?, shouldn't I be supposed to
autorized it ? )
I can't understand my problem with OWC9 is there some incompatibility with
IIS6 ? Code:

I migrated an application from NT4 (IIS4) to 2003 (IIS6).
The application only works when the components are registered with regsvr32.
One of the webpages doesn't work-- when I fill the form out and hit submit I
get "compx error '800af10a' Insufficient memory to perform operation.
/submit.asp, line 283"
I've tried going through and changing permissions but haven't had any luck.
I also tried setting the Web Site to use an Application Pool that I created
to run as System Mode but that didn't make any difference.
Everything works when I select "IIS5 Isolation Mode".
Knowing that it works under IIS5 Isolation mode how can I determine what is
causing the message so I can run it under IIS6?

I migrated a VID6 application from Windows NT 4 to Windows 2003 Server (IIS4
to IIS6) which was developed using ASP and VBScript and I now I am getting an
error message as follows:
Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Visual FoxPro error '80004005'
There is not enough memory to complete this operation.
/hinojosa-web/iPD2.asp, line 377
The line mentioned above refers to the execution of a query to generate a
recordset which will be displayed to the user who is requesting data. This
issue does not always happens, it does only after accesing the web site
several times.

Is there an explanation somewhere as to how IIS6 determins how many ASP threads its actually going to use?I have configured IIS6 to have 20 threads (ASPProcessorThreadMAX) but it uses them all.
I am using the MACT test tool to stress test and with 50 concurrent users I quite often see only a single ASP thread being used the other 49 are on the Requests Queued. The Request Wait Time in Perfmon can be averaging around 5 or 6 seconds and there is plenty of spare CPU.
The application quite often has long running queries(15 to 20 seconds per request)and rather than use another thread IIS will quite often just keep ticking along with the threads its using with the result that the Request Wait Time can jump significantly.

I've used DynuFTP and am happy with it but now the host server needs upgraded to IIS6 and Win2003. After they did this I get the error that I'm pretty sure is from DynuFTP:

A trappable error (E06D7363) occurred in an external object. The script cannot continue running.
Has anyone run into this? Seems like an IIS6 compatibility issue.

Then we made the DCPROMO and promoted it. After restart ASP's won't work.
The message on IE is:
"ya se está utilizando el recurso especificado"
something like "the specified resource is already in use"

Part of the content of one of our web pages uses wingdings and Chr(239)
through Chr(242) (which are little arrow outlines, though that's not really
important.)
It worked just fine in Windows 2000 Server, but now under Server 2003 it
seems that characters above 127 get converted somehow, and our code no
longer produces the desired effect.
Does anyone know how to make it send our content without modification, or
how to encode it in a way that it makes it out to the browser with the
intended character value (as opposed to some thoroughly useless conversion
to a 7 bit value)?

I am trying to set a webserver to use French regional settings for testing
ASP pages.
According to http://support.microsoft.com/kb/q306044, for IIS5, this is a
matter of changing the regional settings for the authenticated user, and if
this user does not have a user profile then the default regional settings.
Unfortunately, this does not seem to be working in IIS6, in that I have
change the default user's settings and I am still getting English dates. Can
anyone tell me if this is because the way IIS chooses its settings has
changed for IIS6 or just because I have done something wrong?
