Can I Implement Session Without Global.asa File In My Root Directory....
Can I implement session without global.asa file in my root directory....and is there any good site for sessions tutorial.
View Replies View RelatedGlobal.asa File
I am in much need of some help with my global.asa file. I use ASP and mySQL. In a nutshell, When a registered user logs in, a field in I have a field that gets updated in my DB Table. It is a TINYINT. When they log in, it updates the value to 1, when they log out, it updates it to 0. I use a tiny iFrame to create a loop displaying users with the value of 1. Basically a cheasy "Who's Online" function.
How ever I am now trying to create a global.asa file to say when the session times out, I want the global file to just update the value back to 0. I am also attempting it so that if the users browser window closes and then gets reopened PRIOR to the timeout limit, It knows they are still logged in. I can provide my script if anyone thinks they can help. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think my final thought would be that when the user closes their browser, that the session ends and the DB field gets updated from a 1 to a 0.

Global.ASA File Limitations
Users are required to log into my website. I store the users name in a session variable. If the user doesn't log out and the session expires after 20 minutes, is it permissable to have code in the session end function of the global.asa which accesses a database and makes alterations to the users login status?
The reason I ask this is that I am having problems trying to get the logout to work for sessions which have timed out. If the users logout using the logout button, the code works fine.
Is It Bad To Have A Large GLOBAL.ASA File?
It seems to me that I generally use two types of Functions:
Type #1-Ones that any page on my site might use
Type #2-Ones that only a single page would ever use
Logically, it seems that I should put the Type #1 functions in the GLOBAL.ASA file and the Type #2 functions in the pages that use them. I would like to, however, just go ahead and include ALL of my functions in the GLOBAL.ASA file.
Comments on this? Is this a good idea?
What Do I Need To Do To Implement A Global.asa File?
where does the file need to be?(root directory of server? main directory of my application?)
I don't need to include the global.asa file in my asp pages to reference the application variables, right?
can I use application variables without using a global.asa file?
when using a global.asa file, do I need to restart the server(or IIS) every time I make changes to it, or does the application automaticaly reset once a change has been made to it?
at the mo I have a global.asa file that looks like this.
<script language="vbscript" runat="server">
Sub Application_OnStart
Application("visitors")=0
End Sub
Sub Session_OnStart
Application.Lock
Application("visitors")=Application("visitors")+1
Application.UnLock
End Sub
Sub Session_OnEnd
Application.Lock
Application("visitors")=Application("visitors")-1
Application.UnLock
End Sub
</script>
and then I have this line in the asp page to display the number of visitors...
Code:
response.write(Application("visitors"))
I get nothing...!
what am I missing?
How The Global.asa File Changes Will Take Effect?
My website is hosted with the ISP and recently I have modified my Global.asa file for the ASP application.
So I think we need to restart the World Wide Web Publishing Service so that the changes in the Global.asa will take effect. I think it will be difficult for the ISP to restart the Service as there many applications will be running. So can you suggest how can my global.asa file changes will take effect so that I can deply those changes?

View Replies View RelatedImplementing A Global Log File For A Web Site
I am trying to implement a single global text file for my web site that will log the actions that my ASP scripts peform. The site I have set up involves about five web pages with scripting in VBscript. Several of these pages also use COM automation to peform certain tasks in Excel macros which also write to the text file.
Currently, I must declare an FSO object on each page. I also have to close the object before I call the COM components (because I write to the log file from the Excel macros, too) and then open it again when control returns to my ASP scripts.
The macros I have written inside Excel are quite intensive, so they chew up some time when they execute. In the end, each user will go through the five web pages to generate an Excel spreadsheet which they can download, and, during this process, will have logged about 15 messages to the text file. Code:
Dynamically Generate Global.ASA File?
On each site there is a global.asa file that ties into an Access database. The fields from the Access database instantiate the values of session variables used in the site. I am trying to do away with the need for a database and was wondering if when I set up a site I also set the .asa file for that site.
Then if a shop wants to change something like an address, phone, number, directions, etc., they would go a toolbox area of the site and there would be a form whose field values would be populated by the session variables from the global.asa file.
When the form was submitted I was thinking I could somehow use asp to write a new global.asa file and store it in the server. Is this feasible? Also, what would this mean insofar as permissions on the root directory of the site? I'd imagine they'd have to have write permissions no? Code:

View Replies View RelatedStoring Images In DB Or File Directory
I am working on a book selling website using ASP with an Access DB.
Basically i would like to have an image of each book in the DB to be displayed upon request in the website. So I guess what i would really like to know is
1. Can i store .jpg or .gif files in an Access DB?
2. Does it make sense to do this?
3. Would it be better to have some kind of pointer in the DB to a place in the file system where the image is stored? .......
Determine Whether A Path Is A Directory Or A File
does any one here know of a good way to to determine whether or not a
given path is a directory (e.g., "c:mydir") or a file (e.g., "c:mydir
myfile.txt")?
i started attacking this problem by using filesystemobject to check
whether or not a directory existed for the path. if so, it was a
directory path. if not, i checked to see if a file existed for it. if
so, it was a file path. Code:
How To Determine If Link Is Directory Or File?
Currently I am developping a internet "directory browser"
My page 'default.asp' has following entries:
CurrentPATH = Request("MyLink")
Set oFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set oFolder = oFSO.GetFolder(CurrentPATH)
Set oFolderContents = oFolder.Files
this works fine with 'default.asp?MyPath', where "MyPath" stands for i.e.
c: emp
but NOT with 'default.asp?MyFile', where MyFile stands for i.e.
c: empfile.txt
Is there a way to determine if the link contains a file or a path? Of course
you can check for a dot (after dot, normaly it is an extension, thus a
file), but I want to have it possible also to have dots in my directories...
Anybody?
Displaying Latest File In A Directory

Total File Size Per Directory
I used to have a little ASP file (classical ASP) that would show me the total file size used per directory. I didn't need it for many years and now that I do I seem to have lost it.
Does anyone have an classical ASP file/script that will loop through your filesystem and shows the total Mb's used per directory? I could write it myself I'm sure, but if someone has a script like this ready it would save me quite some time.

Using Global ASA File To Detect Language Setting
I am about to begin a web site for a client who wishes the site be in English, German, and Italian. What I am planning on doing is setting up a script in the global asa file that will detect if the users language is set to either it or de and if so, set a session variable to Italian or German, if not, set the session variable to English. In the actual pages themselves, I will use a select or if statement on each section that will have content. The statement's criteria will be the session language variable. I know if I was doing this site for someone who wanted it in 20 languages this may not be practical, but for 3 languages I think I can pull it off. So what's my question you ask? Is my approach sound and practical? If so, can someone show me the snippet of code that would go in my asa file to set the session variable. OH, and also equally important, when this site is spidered by search engines, will Google.com and Google.it and Google.de pick up their respective pages? The spiders have language settings, no? Don't they request pages from a (my) server just like any other request?

I'm trying to run each file in a directory to be put into an include file line
I can't get anything to work me. Code:
The Include File '../main.asp' Cannot Contain '..' To Indicate The Parent Directory.
The Include file '../main.asp' cannot contain '..' to indicate the parent

I think it is refering to the fact that I have a file called

This LINE should not contain '..' to indicate the parent directory

Write To Text File In Password Protected Directory
I have a form mail script that sends an email and then writes to a text file using Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject").
The problem I am having is that the information needs to be saved in a Password Protected Directory. When I try to save the info it gives me a permission denied error.

Is there a way to pass the username and password in the script so I don't have to worry about the hosting company messing this up?
Cannot Open File In Virtual Directory Defined Via Share
I have 2 web servers both running win server 2003 with iis 6.0. On my
PROD server I have a virtual directory called CONV. It points to a
folder on the C drive of this PROD server.
On my TEST server, I defined a virtual directory called CONV. It points
to a share called prodservernameCONV. Note that the share name is
the same name as that of the virtual directory.
Using IIS on the TEST server, I can navigate to this CONV virtual
directory and via right mouse, click EXPLORE. I see all the content I
should but when I try to doubleclick on a file I get a message saying
"Security alert" - "your current security settings do not allow you to
perform system commands on this item".
I've tried everything I can think of on the security settings for the
physical folder on the PROD server. I extended EVERYONE from READ, etc.
to FULL CONTROL. I added the user called INTERACTIVE and gave it full
control. In short, I am stumped and guessing now.
Basically, I just want to avoid duplicating all the data files on my
PROD server over to my TEST server.
