What's a great tool to use to deploy n-tier web-based apps? I'm thinking in
terms of an installer that produces a package that a client can run that
will set up one or more IIS sites, copy files to an NTFS partition and set
permissions, create an application and install COM objects in Component
Services, attach (or script the creation and population of) a SQL Server
2000 database, etc.
I'm currently using ASP, IIS 5.0, SQL Server 2000 and VS 6.0 but am about to
take the plunge into .NET for new development. What are the tools that I
should be looking at?
I'm playing with the beta VS 2005 and master pages. They're pretty cool, but when I put the site to my regular IIS server, it stumbles on the new ASP 2.0 features. How do I get IIS to recognize ASP 2.0? Microsoft's site is enagmatic, at best.
I have simple web aspx application; only have aspx file, did not have *.csproj or *.sln. When I click web setup project, add existing project. There is no file in the folder. How do I deply only aspx applicaton?
A few weeks ago I was told in this forum that ASP would be a great solution to a large web site. I purchased a book about ASP.Net but have also seen info on ASP. Can you please tell me what is the difference between the two?
I don't know computer programming at all. Dreamweaver MX is the program I use. Can ASP be done with a WYSIWYG program? I have set up databases in Access & built web sites with DW MX I am not sure how to tie the two together.
How can I make such a bold statement? Two words: Buffer Overflow.
In the very first class I took in programming (those many years ago), we were berated class after class about proper bounds checking to prevent buffer overflows. What this means in simple terms is that every time my program asked the user for input, it had better check to make sure the input fit in the place I reserved for it. If I asked for a ''Y/N'' and I got a ''yes'' or a ''no'', those extra characters had to go somewhere and I had better be prepared for them.
It sounds like you are looking at the properties of the WebSites main branch, when you need to look to the first element under this branch (opening it) to the next "step down", and check the properties of the child element (mine is called "default web site", but yours perhaps has been changed from that).
It also contains an "advanced" button on the Web Site tab (right next to the "IP Address" field) which allows "multiple" identities, which is the part which I couldn't to work with 100% consistency.
Over my years developing ASP applications and writing asp code in general I have created a library of nice little apps and functions that I use over and over again.
I was "thinking" about maybey setting up a site with all my useful functions, subroutines, and possibly applications for people to download and hopefully donate some money if they use them. Perhaps even have some apps for sale only.
The apps will mainly be my useful plugin developments such as guestbook, gallery, login system etc. My question however is do you think it would be worth the time and effort? Do you find yourself using plugins a lot?
I defo think the functions could be handy but again how many of you search for functions to help you out or indeed how many of you currently use functions you have gotten from other people? Would you donate something if you used them?
Mayby some of you have already done something like this and can let me know how you got on?
My client has the need to upgrade to Windows 2000 Server from NT4 but are concerned about whether there existing custom code (ASP,VB6,MTS, etc) will work correctly once migrated. Does anyone know where I might be able to find information relating to what functionality has been deprecated in Windows 2000 Server since NT4 (I know CDONTS is one of them).
Are there some easy to use (and free) web scanning tools that can check for security vulnerabilities (SQL injection, cross site attacks) on classic ASP apps and suggest ways to fix them?

Does anyone implemented/created any facebook applications using ASP? Is there any recommended url? It seems that asp is lagging behind for web2.0 apps... but i still love asp.
i have a browse button on a web form that the user can upload images via ftp. the user clicks on the browse button to browse a file on his computer and the text field displays the path - "mycomputerdesktopmyimage.jpg".
i need to get the name of the image and insert the name into my database. so i need to be able to search the string ("mycomputerdesktopmyimage.jpg") and insert all the characters after the last "" which will give me the image name. ive tried just writing out the string in asp (jscript), but it gives me "mycomputerdesktopmyimage.jpg" without all the backslashes.
how do i get those backslashes back into the string? my second question is how do i search for the characters after the last backslash? i know i can use a substring on this, but how can i use it for the last backslash?
I've done several sites with ASP that use an Access database, and it has worked fine so far. I will be developing a much larger site and I need to know if Access just isn't going to cut it anymore.
Is MSSQL what I should use instead? How much is too much for an Access database? What are the differences in coding for something besides Access? (is it just in the connection string, or what?)
Can anyone recommend project management, timeline and calendar apps I could install on my own site? Hopefully ASP and SQL based. Most of my searches are ending with expensive or limited options. Free is great of course! I need something reasonably priced.
I have 2 seperate web applications A and B. During the execution of A, I want to do a Server.Transfer to a page in application B. This works fine if A has a reference to B, but without the reference, I get the following error:
Parser Error
Description:

Parser Error Message:

It seems to be looking for B.dll in the path for application A, and can't find it. Because of the specifics of this project I am unable to set a reference, or even include a <codeBase> element in the config file. Is there any way to force the runtime to look in the path of the target application instead of the launching app?
First, I've got to apologise if I ask some stupid sounding questions, I'm not trained as a programmer and I'm trying to learn some basics with the help of kind people like yourselves on dev forums.
So, here's the deal. I just purchased a new subscription for shared .asp hosting on a new server. So, I uploaded all my .asp files etc to the new server, keeping the old structure.
You can see the site at www.hydra-breaks.net
The public side of the site runs fine, but I can no longer use any of the admin tools - mostly information submission forms. When I use *any* of the forms, I press "submit", then receive the error message:
Internal Server Error The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator to inform of the time the error occurred and of anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
I don't have admin access as it's shared hosting, or access to the IIS... does anyone have some suggestions?
Are there any free components out there that will analyse IIS log files and write selected information to a DB?
I know there are free packages like Analog and Webalizer, but I'm more interesting in an app or component that feeds log files in to a DB so that it can be queried later.
I have a form and if none of the radiobuttons are selecte or any of the txt fields are empty i want it to display an error, also if the entry in a txt field is not numeric i want it to display an error, if there are no errors then i wanted to display a message
Is there any tool for debugging ASP scripts? I wanted to do some tracing and check whether the execution of my statements and queries are in the correct order or not.
i have a little commandlinetool, that returns a value (number) via stdio -how can i display this value on an asp-page?currently i use this "workaround": run the tool every 5mins (using thescheduler) and redirecting the output to a txt-file (tool.exe > temp.txt) and then i use the filesystem-object to read the value and display it on the webpage...
....but this is:
a) not realtime b) certainly not the best solution so what's the propper way to do that?
I've been looking for an upload tool for a long time now. I have little ASP programming experience, so I'd like to edit it as little as possible. Most tools I found had way too many options or not nearly enough. Here is exactly what I need:multiple file upload capability drop-down menu to choose which directory to put the files in no database support needed.
I have a website that is on a windows hosting. It's straight HTML site. I need a way to have a search on the site that can search HTML text. How can I do this in ASP? How do I index my site? Is indexing necessary?
What do you think the best design is for a search tool? Query Strings are commonly used. They are bookmarkable, yet unattractive.Form Submission to self keeps a clean address bar, but search results are not bookmarkable. My teammember likes the idea of using the FileSystemObject to generate a file EVERY TIME someone submits a search.
The file would contain a specific database query. It's bookmarkable and clean looking, but it generates a crapload of files.So far we have avoided the use of query strings in the web site. I think they would be acceptable for the search tool though. My teammember is steadfast about avoiding query strings however, and wants to use the last option. If there are any programmeres out there experienced with mid-size asp applications involving a similar search tool.
I am trying access a virtual directory I set-up through IIS and my web pages are built on asp. I also ran the IIS Lockdown tool on the server, and I have never been able to view the website. I know this is vague, but I am wondering if there are certain features turned on within the IIS lockdown that prevents you from viewing asp?
