Calling An Executable
I am working on a legacy application written in Classic ASP with VB6 COM+ components running on Windows 2003 Adv Server (32bit). There is one page in the app that uses Secure FTP to send a file to another application server upon a certain type of data change.
Anonymous user posts the form - ASP code instantiates the COM+ component which is starting using a Domain User -Calls a method that creates the comma delimited data file and then calls the SFTP method.
Launch Executable
I'd like to launch an executable file from a web page. Basically, the user
enters seven parameters and then clicks a button to generate a graph. The
input is written to a file and then read by the exe. The exe then generates
a graph based upon the input parameters.
I am reading about the Process class and wondering if that is the best
approach to this. Can you recommend a KB article?
Running An Executable
my questions are
1. How do I execute a program using asp (any scripting language), without the user taking any action.
2. To close the program (written in VB6) do I include something in the program itself, or do I close it w/ asp?
Compliling ASP Project Into Executable
I am deploying many ASP apps and many of them are onto client internal
servers. I was wondering if there was an option to compile my entire ASP
project into an installation executable for easy deployment?
ASP/IIS Communicating With A VB Based Executable On The Webserver.
I am test developing an internal webserver, on Windows XP, and IIS 5.1, with
ASP and MySQL.
One specific page is created from user input and database records in
previous pages and presents a page with customised data and a webform. It
then takes input from the form and session variables and passes these to an
vb exe in the the wwwroot using the from
http://localhost/example.exe?testparameters. The vb exe takes the command
line parameter input and does its thing and it all works, but I am aware
this is a very insecure way of doing this and I implemented this only as a
quick workaround so I could test implement it all then refine it for
deployment.
My question is, what is the best way for input to be passed from a web form
to an vb executable for it to do its thing. The exe will eventually
preferably run as a service, or at least all ways be active on the server,
and not starting for every request then ending, as I was hoping to allow for
sorting and queueing of requests passed to the exe, before they are
executed. Code:

Adding Executable (.exe) To Html File

What I am trying to do is pick either a hotspot or hyperlink and embedd the executable, so that when picked it runs. all it is really doing is rdp'ing to a session on the server.

But now, I get this error everytime I run the application:

Using ASP On IIS (Local Machine)
I would like to evaluate some shopping cart software to use on my next project. I am new to asp and as yet my hosting does not support it. Before I go ahead and upgrade my hosting I wanted to see how the various packages work.
I am running XP Pro SP2 and have installed IIS. The folders seem to be where they should be and I have access to the settings through the Administrative Tools.
When I put a htm file in the wwwroot folder it loads fine if I type http://localhost but the asp files are either downloaded or opened in dreamweaver.
Do I need to do something special to enable asp files to open on my local machine??

I'm not a networking/IT guy, but I was put in charge of figuring out how to use ASP to tap into an Oracle db for my office. I am using a windows 2000 laptop, and I want to be able to run ASP code on my local desktop (without being plugged into a network).
I need a lot of help here. I know I have to turn my computer into a webserver, but I'm not certain what I need to do with the IIS. What do I need to do in general to make my computer a webserver? In addition, I will be using a local Oracle database. So I wasn't sure what I would need to do to make that db available for querying with ASP. What is the best way to make that connection?
Anyone who can point me to useful documentation.
Code On Local IIS
I am running this code on my local IIS and everything works fine. The code detects the file I select using the INPUT TYPE=FILE. The problem is that when I move this code up to my host’s web server, it never works as in it never finds the file. It is the exact same code so why is it working on my local IIS but not on the web server? It is ASP code.
Code:
set fso = createobject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If fso.FileExists (strValue) then
'File exists continue with code
Else
Response.Redirect("aspError.asp")
End if

View Replies View RelatedHow To Sync Local And Web Database?
I am wondering if their is a strategy or tool for syncing a local
database with a web-based database? Specifically I have an application
where orders are entered via a web form and the data emailed to my
client who processes the orders. I extract the order information and
update a local "order tracking" database. There are several order
processing steps.
I want to update a web database to reflect the status
of the order as it flows through the local tracking application. I will
send an email to the "orderer" at the major steps, but my client wants
to have a web-based report shows the status of all orders for a company
that has pending orders. In other words a company will enter multiple
orders and will be able to track the status of the orders by signing on
to the web site.
This status report gets its data from the
web-database.....which I must update from the local tracking database.
A pretty long winded explation which I hope mades sense. Has anyone
found a solution to this problem? Any reference or tools you can
suggest?

I have been teaching myself ASP for several months now and seem to have a pretty good handle on it. All along, I have been uploading changed files directly to the website and refreshing to test.
However, today I will be at a location with no internet access and would still like to be able to work and test my programming. How do I go about testing ASP pages on my local computer without an internet connection?
For now I am not worried about testing any databases or anything, just layout and design.
If it is useful, I am running Windows XP Home edition and I use Dreamweaver to write the ASP.
