Accessing A MySQL Database From ASP
Can someone tell me how to access a MySQL database using ASP?
View RepliesCan someone tell me how to access a MySQL database using ASP?
View RepliesI work with ASP for several weeks now and i really like it! But until now i have just used it in connection with my localhost. I made connections to a SQL Database and to an ACESS Database with using the ODBC Tool from WIndows!!
Now i want to publish my website but i don't know how to handle the connection string kind of thing. My MySQL-Database is on a different server than the website and i need a connection string where i can type in the server, a password and a username and it should then connect.
As luck would have it I've landed a client whose site relies on ASP and what I can only assume is an MS Access database. ASP is definitely not the language of my choice but I'm stuck with having to learn the basics for what I'm required to do.
Basically the database is located in the folder /fpdb/ and is called vsproducts.mdb. It was actually installed by the off-the-shelf shopping cart/catalogue script that is being used by the site's owner. I need to be able to access and display on a page some data found in this database. Is this easy? I have next to no knowledge of ASP so please keep things as simple as possible
Accessing my databases in Microsoft Access. I have my page called connOpen.asp and I have my page of code and of course my database which I called phone.mdb. This is my code
for connOpen.asp
<%
strConnect="Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0; DataSource=C:Mydatabasesphone.mdb;"
%>
Also I do have my include statement at the top of my code page.
<!--#include file="connOpen.asp"-->
When I click my submit button it just takes me to a blank white page.
I have a happily working set of asp pages which read from the database via include file "./_private/include/database.mdb". However, when I try to gain access to this database on pages one folder removed using "../_private/include/database.mdb", the pages
won't display.
This whole system works fine on my home test server (iis.5.0), but 'breaks' when uploaded to the public server. I know the path to database is correct because the upper level pages are displaying without problem.
I am having problem for the last couple of days with my ASP application. The HTML pages work fine but when it comes to connect to database (Access 2000) it doesn't opens page. The "Error Type" says nothing in Internet Explorer.
Actually it is happening with all my ASP applications that are using Access as database, so I dont think that there can be any problem with the code and Database as they were working fine previously.
I am unable to access an Access database through a webpage I built, but only if the database is on a server running Windows NT 4.0 Server. If I copy the database to
a pc using NT Workstation then there is no problem. I have a user account set up on the sever as IUSR_pcname. It is a domain user with full privileges. This is the connection code:
oConn.Open "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" & _
"Data Source=10.10.10.10pcdTEST.mdb;"
It gives me a 'disk or network' error and for some reason, and the server locks out the IUSR_pcname account after I try.
I am not a beginner in asp and html, but this is something that I realy do not know what to do with. Here is my problem: I have an asp(vbScript) page that has to get data/text from an MS Access database and from include .txt file and some application variables. All the data I am using is writen with cyrillyc unicode (codepage=1251). When I use <%@Codepage=1251%> directive at the top of my page, the data from the database is ok, but the data from the application and .txt file is wrong with the encoding.
When I delete the <%@Codepage=1251%> and when the session expires, then the data from the .txt and application is fine, but the data from the database is represented with "????.." question marks. Can anyone help me with this.
When more than one user tries to access my system, one user gets his page processed, and the other users recieve an error message stating:
Microsoft JET Database Engine error '80004005'
Could not use ''; file already in use.
/processweb/html/cpr/admin/sel_sc.asp, line 25
I am using ASP 2, MS Access 97 and IIS 4. Any ideas why only one user is allowed to access the database simultaneously? The database file itself is closed.
I have a hunch it may be because the IUSR_[machine name] user account on the web server does not have access to the *.ldb database locking information file... Does this sound like a plausible reason?
I have created a asp project local.and have created a access database local. Iam trying to use the access database from the asp page. But It is not accessing the database file.
once i changed the rights of the access file and checked it.It inserted the records.And after some time, iam not able to access it.some times it accesses and some times it doesnt.
I write search files webpage.when users enter part or all of a file name and asp page send back a list of only the files(that user can click to open files) whose names contain the text they entered.I want to save data about accessing files such as file name ,accessed date of fileto my database(Microsoft Access).I don't know how to write a adding code to do this. Code:
View Replies View RelatedI have an sql statement like this executed with asp and mysql.
select * from table1, table2, table3
How can I read a specific field from a table when tables have same fieldnames.
So for example table1 and table2 have both a field named content.
What I would like to do is:
contenttable1 = recordset("table1.content")
contenttable2 = recordset("table2.content")
But then I get an error like item not found in recordset.
If i do this it works but i don't know which field I read from:
contenttable? = recordset("content")
I know that it works with Access but I can't get it working with MySQL.
I wish draw data from a MySQL Database using ASP.
The Code I have so far:
<%
dim adoConn, adoRS
set adoConn = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection")
set adoRS = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Recordset")
adoConn.Open "driver={SQL Server};server=SERVER-WEB;database=testing;uid=products;pwd=starmart"
adoRS.ActiveConnection = adoConn
%>
and in the asp page code:
116. <%=rsDaySummary.fields("PageViews")%>
This is obviously wrong as it returns this error:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01a8'
Object required: ''
/stats.asp, line 116
Any pointers would be appreciated.
First I'll answer "why". Because, while SQL Server is available, it is also
"expensive". MySQL is CHEAP and a lot more robust than Access.
Is there a way to add, update, retrieve, and delete data from a MySQL DB via
php (or ASP for that matter) back into ASP? Could someone create a basic
script to look at so I could see how?
I hope there is a way to do this. Wouldn't it be advantageous for MS to do
this or to make it easy to do so to be more competitive?

View Replies View RelatedI'm a PHP developer and i've been asked to do some development for a site which is on a web server which only supports ASP. I had planned to have a bash at writing an ASP program (first time) on this server which will interact with a MySQL database on another web server (my company's web space).
Would this be possible, or should I try and set up the database on the same server as the ASP pages (this may cost money, which is why i'm hoping the first option will be possible)?

I'm doing a website in PHP/MySQL but its an IIS server - THUS no sendmail. I've used CDONTS to send email in ASP before but this time its a little different
I have a MySQL table called 'emails' in a database called 'db'. The table has Key IDs from 1 to about 50 that correspond with different email addresses. I want to use CDONTS to Grab the email addresses from the MySQL database one by one and in 15 second intervals send out the same email to each address.
I know this sounds a bit 'spammy', but it's a band website with a mailing list. Only about 50 or so entries. I'm trying to set up a mailing list manager and the only missing piece is this damn emailing script.
I am moving my site from one host to another. I got all the scripts moved over but now I need to import my MySQL database. My previous host has a tool to create a .sql database dump. However, my current host limits the size a database dump can be for using phpMySQL to import the database.
Is there any way I can FTP the .sql file to the webserver and run an ASP script that points to that file and executes all the commands? The .sql is 300,000 lines.

For example, the job table has a number of fields, 2 of which are area and job type which are tables in the database.
