I have started session("visitorID") in global.asa in order
to keep track of how many users are on our site at any
given time, trouble is I can't seem to call the session
while on another page.
As I am relatively new to asp I'll post both the setting
of the session and the call to it on the other page below Code:
where do you have to place your global.asa file in order for your session variables to work? If i dont have access to the root (not my server, a remote one), is there any way i can specify a path to my global.asa?
View Replies View RelatedI'm trying to add a "user-verifacation" thingy to my site.
my problem is using/accessing session variables.
all the tutorials say that the global.asa should only have
the script tags (<script...> & </script>) and inside the script itself
only have the application/session onstart/end.
I've created this global.asa file and put it in my site-root folder:
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" runat=server>
function Session_OnStart()
{ Session("LoggedIn") = "NO"
}
</script>
but i can't access the session variable Session("LoggedIn")... from any page.
i have a logon page, i create session variables for every person who logs on, but when their session times out, i want to redirect them (or have a popup window) that tells them that they have been logged off, but i have no success.' global.asa:
<script language="vbscript" runat="server">
Sub Session_OnEnd
Response.Redirect "loggedout.asp"
End Sub
</script>
but it doesnt work, i set the timeout to 1 minute, and i lose the session variables, but i cant seem to redirect them to the loggedout page!
I have a application which is a global login for other applications. Basically application A checks all the user login information and then lists all the applications B-Z that the user has access to.
I have a global.asa file in application A and individual global.asa files in applications B-Z. Applications B-Z are under the Application A directory. Can I have global.asa files in each of the application folders? Does the pages look for the closest global.asa file?
I have to keep track of user login time and logout tme for each application. The problem I run into is how do I record the user logout time when the session expires?
CAn I set a session variable dynamically based on a value in a database and use the global.asa to do it...
View Replies View RelatedAll, Just to give a little background this is reagarding an ASP 3.0
application running on IIS6 using the default app pool.
I have set the session timeout to 540 minutes in IIS (under options tab in
Application configuration). There is no code in the Session_OnStart or
Session_OnEnd in the global.asa. Via an include file, each page executes
these no-cache related code:
Response.Buffer = True
Response.ExpiresAbsolute = Now() - 1
Response.Expires = 0
Response.CacheControl = "no-cache"
Response.CacheControl = "private"
Sorry, just wanted to give some background on what we're dealing with.
Anyways, the problem is that the users are saying their session state is
expiring much sooner than 540 minutes. How is this possible? What did I miss?
Are there better techniques to ensure the 540 minute session?
i 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 RelatedCan I put a session.timeout = "45" in the global.asa file? and if yes, under what section?
View Replies View RelatedI'm using the following code in my global.asa file to set the
session.timeout value amongst other things -
Sub Session_OnStart
Session.Timeout = 40
Session("Authenticated") = 1
End Sub
Yet when I print out the value of session.timeout on a page after this
event has fired it returns 20 (I get the right value for
Session("Authenticated") so my code appears to be working).
I checked the default timeout value in IIS (v5) on the server, but
this reads 900 seconds, which in my books is 15 minutes. I am
therefore very confused as to where this value of 20 is coming from.
Could anyone point me in the right direction as I need to set this to
40 minutes and my WROX manual doesn't provide much information on this
property.
I need to set a session time out for this website that was created by someone else using ePower. How can I configure the global.asa page to set a time out session for the users or do I have to set this in IIS? Code:
View Replies View RelatedI have absolutely no idea how global.asa works. I've read through quite a number of articles and they're all fine and dandy but implementing it on my (first) ASP application just doesn't work. It's amazing how ASP.NET automates everything for you.
Anyway, I need to store session variables and I have no idea how to. I have no global.asa file, but I can declare session variables fine. So does that mean that somewhere in the ASP process, a Session_OnStart() method's already running.
If I create a global.asa file, I put it in the same directory with other ASP files right?
A global.asa file should contain the basic four application/session methods... and shouldn't really contain much code, unless I want to start a variable with a default value. True or false (I say true). Code:
I am trying to run a Session_OnStart Script based on a Session variable that is created on a .asp page. The problem is that when I reference the Session in Global.asa It has no value but it has a value on the .asp page level. Is there a certain way that I have to reference a Session in Global.asa?
What I have is somthing like the following:
Sub Session_OnStart
If Session("NIS")<> "" Then
Run The Routine
End If
End Sub
Based on the above the routine does not run because Global.asa does not seem to get the value of Session("NIS").
I have initialized some session variables in Global.asa for our web
application. But these session variables are returning null values; it is was
working fine before; Recently we have rebuild our servers.
Please let me know if anyone of you have some idea?
I am trying to write a sub that will delete a spreadsheet file created by the web user. THis is the code I have inserted into the global.asa file, but it is not working.
sub Session_OnEnd
'delete the temporary excel spreadsheet
Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objFSO.DeleteFile(Server.mappath("temp/<%=session.sessionid%>.xls"))
Set objFSO = Nothing
end sub
I have made sure that the temp folder has permissions set for the IUSR_machinename account to be able to delete files. I am running IIS 5 on a windows 2000 server.
Until now I've only seen VBScript to handle application and session events (e.g.
Application_OnStart, Session_OnStart). Is it possible to do this directly in
JavaScript or do I have to write VBScript proxies?
Can I implement session without global.asa file in my root directory....and is there any good site for sessions tutorial.
View Replies View RelatedWhat i'm trying to do is delete away some rows of data in a database when a session ends. The codes are shown below.

I am having trouble with installing IIS, I tried to do it in my control panel, but it wants the disk, I don't have the disk because my computer came with Windows XP Pro 2002 Service pack 2.
so I went to the microsoft website and downloaded the free download of IIS6. Then when I go to my control panel and Administrative tools it is in there and when I click on it, there is no computer name available.
I have a sign-in box that is an IFrame, with a form target of "_top", and
the current (parent) page URL as a hidden field.
If sign-in in successful, there is a response.redirect to the page URL,
having set the session variable LoggedInOK=true.
However, if the sign in is not OK, I want the IFrame to be the target, (i.e.
_self, not _top) to display the error.
Is there a way for ASP to control whether it redirects to _top or _self, as
setting the form target in the Login page requires "pre-knowledge" of
whether it will be successful.

I've checked directory browsing is enabled but still nothing happens!

I am primarily a front-end designer and not familiar with ASP beyond
breaking up pages into include files. Recently, one of my freelance
clients wanted to display an RSS feed from his blog on his site. I did
some research and found the rss2html.asp script. I chose this over a
javascript solution because those scripts apparently don't affect
search engine rankings.
I implemented the script and it was running fine until about a month
ago, when the site and sometimes the server running it started to
crash. The ISP and the blog company the RSS feed originates from blame
the script. Bytescout, who wrote the script, says that it's probably
the feed that's causing the problem. The RDF version of the feed
validates as RSS, but the ATOM one has specs that are too new for the
validator to parse correctly. Code:
