In the Session_OnStart sub I create a random session name in a session variable, then create a file under that name for statistical purposes.
Upon session expiration (user closes window, etc.) I want to reopen the file to add more data. I placed this code in the Session_OnEnd section.
My OnEnd data does not get written to the file. However if I put the exact same code in the Session_OnStart sub it works.
The "Session_OnStart" event doesnot fire if the website has .htm file as the
startup document. If I change the extension of the default document from
..htm to .asp then I can see the event fires, But now I cant change the
default page to .asp.
How can I make the Session_OnStart fire in that situation?
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?
View Replies View Relatedi 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?
View Replies View RelatedI 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.
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.
When I set a cookie in global.asa in the sub session_onstart, even if
I have "privacy" in IE 6.X set to "block all cookies" the cookie is
still set, and I can get it on other pages.
I can't find an article that addresses this as a specific issue. Why
does the browser get the cookie when it is set in the session_onstart
event even when I have "block all cookies" set?
