Email, ASP Timeout And Web Host


I'm sending emails to a database of 2000 people (that will be double
that in the future). My web-host provides ASPQmail. I have to send the
emails out in groups of only a few hundred at a time to avoid the page
timing out (I have set the timeout value to a very high value). Once in a
while it seems as if either the SMTP server or the web server is running
slowly and I can't get it to send even a few without timeout problems. I
never get the log file showing anything.

Is there a better web-host situation and email/SMTP I should look for?
Do I need a dedicated server? Any suggestions as to how to go about a bulk
email scenario? At least when I do have problems I would like to know
which clients received their mailing and which ones didn't.

New Host
We've had a Fasthosts reseller account for quite a few years now and have been relatively happy until now.Unfortunately they've started to push out MySQL DBs (I think 4.2.x or 5)that don't work very well with classic ASP and basically said you can b*$£*"s if it don't work with your apps.

In which case, we do not wish to pander to the FHosts machine anymore and are looking for a new host.Bearing in mind what the Windows based FHosts reseller account can provide,can anybody suggest a better host?

Please note we were stung badly by 2 'from the attic' ISPs before so wedon't want to go down that route anymore.

New Host, Not Working
I recently moved all my files and db to a new host. I cannot get the site to function properly. The site appears to be pointing to an old test template my programmer set up, and not my index page. I have lost my programmer, and I don't know ASP at all.

Setting Up On Web Host
I haven't ever used ASP on a web host but will most likely be shortly with a members area and was just wondering if someone could answer these questions. Do I have to have the ASP files in a certain file and with the database?

Do I only need to have the asp files or do I need a file like adojavas.inc like if I am using in on my local computer with a web server?

Unique Host IP
I'm trying to obtain the IP of the hosts connected to my webserver.

Code:

on error resume next

'trying to obtain host IP
ip = request.servervariables("remote_addr")
response.write "IP addr: " & ip & " --- "
ip = request.servervariables("remote_host")
response.write "IP host: " & ip
%>

If I use the above script, it shows me the IP of my ISP webproxy, not mine.

Printing To The Host Printer ??
I am writing a website in asp for a take out restaurant. Customers can place order from their website. What I want to do is, print out the order form from the restaurant's printer when an order is placed, so none is required to manually print out the order list. Is it possible and how??

IIS 5.1 Local Host Error 500.100
Installing IIS and getting a strange error.

..Error Type:
Active Server Pages, ASP 0134 (0x80004005)
The object has an invalid ProgID of 'MSWC.MyInfo'.
//global.asa, line 1

This error comes after on Page not Found error after entering http://localhost .I have done all the localhost not found suggestions in the localhost not found thread. I also looked up the error in the knowledge base and the Anonymous login was not checked for the localstart.asp file. I also ping 127.0.0.1 just fine.

Host Problems With ShellApplication Object
I have been using the ShellApplication object in an ASP script to
retrieve some file characteristics that the FileSystem object does not
access (this is one of my clients' sites on a commercial host, running
IIS 6.0).

The script ran perfectly for about 6 months, then began returning
"Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01a8' Object required". The code
had not been changed. The script doesn't produce an error on the
creation of the object, but at the first use of it.

The hosting company rebooted the server and it again worked fine, but
then failed again.

The hosting Co's attitude is "you are the only client using this object
and the only client affected by it failing - find a different way to do
what you want to do"

My contention is that they started/stopped doing something that has
caused this to fail and just don't want to be bothered
researching/fixing it (I use the object with no problems on several
other hosts).

Can anyone shed some light? Is there a known problem with the object or
something known to cause it to fail?

Setting Local Host Permissions
I download an application from a 3rd party for a forum that uses Microsoft Access. When I try to log in, I keep getting an error about the database being read only. I go to the hard drive and right click and uncheck "Read Only" but it never works, I've done this on the database file, the directory it is in, the parent directory, the wwwroot directory, the Inetpub directory.

Popup Window Changes Host Page
When I use this command in a webpage

Response.Write "<a
href=""javascript:window.open('events/EventDetails.asp?EventID=" &
theEventID & "' )"">" & theLinkText & "</a>"

I get the new window to open but it also affects the "host" window. The "host" window is left with the word "[object]" in it. If I refresh the window that says [object] the new window opens again. Why and how can I make the new window open without affecting the previous one?

Cookie And Session Are Not Created When Using A Host File Instead Of DNS
When I use a host file entry to point to the host header of the site
that I have created on a Win2k server running IIS5, a cookie is not
created to hold the session id. The result is that Session_OnStart is
run every time a page is requested.

If I set up a DNS entry on the DNS server it all works fine.

I never noticed this problem before we put in Active Directory so it
may have something to do with that.

I have set "allow per session cookies" to promt(under Custom Secrity
settings in IE) to see if this is being attempted and it is not. So
the browser is not even trying to create the session cookie when using
the host file.

Windows Script Host Files From ASP Page
does anyone know how to run a .wsf file from an ASP page?

Validation Controls Not Working On Remote Host
I have two .aspx web pages. The first one has a form with ASP textboxes, validation controls, an a submit button which calls an event handler using VB to insert data into an Access database then redirect to the second page.

Both pages work fine on my local host computer (IIS). But on my remote host, when I click the submit button, it just sits there and does nothing. When I remove the validation controls, the event handler works fine.

How can I get the validation controls to work on the remote server?

Host Doesn't Support Server-side Includes
I've just been caught out by a host that doesn't support #includes in my
ASPs. What's the best strategy for replacing these calls to files that
include everything from subs and functions, global constants, other
#includes, script directives, etc.??

Test If A Host Supports Collaborative Data Objects
Is there a way to test if a host supports Collaborative Data Objects like

Server.CreateObject("CDONTS.NewMail")

something like phpinfo to show the servers ASP setup? which components are installed etc? i've got a form mail script im testing that seems to parse ok (no errors),but am not receiving the email at any of the recipient addresses im sending it to.

ASP Timeout?
I have an asp page that is producing a report via some heavy SQL queries with
dynamically chosen parameters from the users of the page. I can run it on my
development server (takes about 35 minutes to produce) , however when it is
run on the production server it will execute for about 3 minutes, then bring
me to a Page Cannot Be Displayed.

I think this might be some sort of
timeout, but I have no idea as to how to stop it. I've changed the timeout
property of the Server, I have even put in a buffer flush if the client
isConnected.

Timeout
I am using sql server 2000. From the asp page i am calling a stored procedure that does all the processing that includes:

1. create the query dynemically according to the selections made by the user.
2. run query
3. if records found, create a comma delimited list
4. pust that file on a file server, from where the user can then download the file

it return -1 if an error has accoured, 0 if no records are found, or file id if the records are found and file is written and moved to its location successfully.

i have increased the script timeout time to 800 ...

Timeout In Asp
the default timeout for inactivity is 20mins, but in my application the clients are asking that if they are half way through an 'add a new record' page and disappear for 30 mins, when they come back the screen doesn't tell them they have timed out but lets them continue typing and its only when they hit 'submit' do they find out they have timed out. This then screws up the insert into dB type query and the data is lost.
So what I am trying to figure out is a way (using asp if possible) to count the timeout inactivity and 19 mins in to go to another page (timeout.asp) which tells them that the session has timed out and that any data has been lost etc etc, this will then provide a link to the login page.
The way the system is set up at the moment is that each page has a login script attached but is only shown if the session is valid, which has been working well.
Does anyone have any bright ideas/links/tutorials etc


Timeout Value
I support several intranet sites one of which had NO STATE. Even though content has ASP extensions, it was all rendered HTML. Site had NO session or
application variables being managed. Site had no global.asa. IIS Manager
had site timeout set to 20 minutes.We had to add an ASP include to pages, and that ASP include contained our first session variable. Users then started complaining of timeouts and being edirected to logout pages because session variable evaporated. Users requested a 4 hour - 240 minute timeout. This was set in IIS Manager on site, and it didn't work. We added global.asa with timeout set in session on_start routine, and even though we could display the timeout variable at 240 minutes, if we wait 30 minutes and pressed refresh on page displayed, it took logic path indicating session variable no longer set.

i have first name and id of the user
i am trying to see how many times he logs on

but the code times out when the second query is fired
any idea why Code:

SQL Timeout
I need run a few large queries for one time only. But I get scripttimeout.So I set up server.ScriptTimeout value. It works fine.But for one query, system gives me the following error:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server (0x80040E31)
Timeout expired

No matter how much I increase ScriptTimeout value, I still have the same error.is there a setting for SQL server timeout value?

IE Timeout
I am having some trouble with internet explorer timing out. I have an asp page that writes all members email addresses to a second table and then I am using CDO to send them emails. I am using a function that waits 1 second between emails and then the page deletes that record.

I am sending close to 10,000 emails and everything is working fine, but when the emails are done the page is supposed to redirect. It does not and about half way through the emails it gives me a "page could not be displayed" error.

I have the script timeout set very high, do I think it is an IE setting, but have no clue and have not been able to find anything on this topic.

Timeout
I created a web site for a local government office to handle their procurement. When the city modifies a solicitation, all of the respondants need to be notified. Unfortunately, the city wants the email sent to each respondant to be individualized, so I can't just CC or BCC it to several hundred email addresses.

After about 200 emails, the server usually times out. The city is hosting with Verio and Verio won't change the timeout values since it's "virtually hosted". Is there a way to spawn a background task to send the emails? If not, what's the best method for batch send?

Timeout
Sometimes when I'm uploading photos In my site I get the following error :

Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0113'

Script timed out

/process2upload.asp

The maximum amount of time for a script to execute was exceeded. You can change this limit by specifying a new value for the property Server.ScriptTimeout or by changing the value in the IIS administration tools. What can I do to specify a new value Server.ScriptTimeout?

ASP TimeOut
I'm using the following server:
IIS5 Windows 2000 SP4 2 Processor Hyper thread enabled.

When creating HTML files with FileSystemObject the ASP page often times out
(not every time though) and gives this error:

"The maximum amount of time for a script to execute was exceeded. You can
change this limit by specifying a new value for the property
Server.ScriptTimeout or by changing the value in the IIS administration
tools"

There are no loops on the ASP page. When IIS is restarted the problem
disappears for a few hours then starts again.

SQL Delete Timeout
I'm getting an error from something that seems too easy to cause
trouble. Here's the scenario. User fills out a form. User saves. On
submit, an asp script attempts to save the data. it deletes all of
existing child records, and then re-inserts new child records.

Heres the chunk of code thats bombing out with a 'Microsoft OLE DB
Provider for SQL Server error '80040e31' ':

'delete all children for this Parent record
strSQL = "DELETE FROM qcspec_is_tasks WHERE parentID = " & nRecID
debugPrint strSQL
cn.Execute strSQL

The print statement yeilds the following, before the Execute statement
dies:

DELETE FROM qcspec_is_tasks WHERE parentID = 20

If I run the above in query analyzer, it executes instantly.

Incidentally, at this point in time, the table is tiny. Its only 50
rows or so, at the moment.

Server Timeout
I have a problem with sessions timing out while a student is taking a
test. This is a really bad thing, because the session times out and
then the student completes the test, but his answers aren't saved
because the server no longer knows who he is.

I know that if I lag too long at my bank website a window pops up and
tells me that I'm about to time out and to press a key if I want to
continue.

Database Timeout
I have a database that stores our banner ads. When the connection times out (it can't connect to the database), the whole website errors out. How can I set it so that if it can't connect to the database, then display an alternate image, so that at least the website loads?

Timeout Expired
Having some problems updating a recordset, despite the fact that I've used the bulk of the code sucessfully in other projects. I seem to be able to add records no problem, but when I try to update them I get Code:

Session Timeout
Is there a way to see if the session is going to timeout and then warn the
user or display a page that it timed out.

ASP Script Timeout
Using WinXP Pro / IIS. I want to change the ASP script timeout value in IIS.

I go into MMC and then add the IIS snap-in, I navigate to my ASP
applications directory, then right-click and go into properties.

I click on the configuration button, BUT NOTHING HAPPENS !

It used to bring up the next screen for changing the timeout value.

Whats happened ? How can I get it to work again ?

Session Timeout
My session keeps timing out on a Windows 2003 server running my ASP.net app.
WHen running the same app on a windows 2000 server it follows the timeout
parameter in the web.config file.

Forcing A Timeout
How do I test a "timeout" error when pulling an .asp page? How do I
raise a "timeout"? How do I "catch" a time out using VBScript with
ASP?

Session Timeout
how would go about making a session timeout expire with a method like
you can expire a cookie by going Date() - 1

Timeout Error
How can we solve this?
Code:

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server error '80004005'

SESSION Timeout
I believe that it's possiblte to set the length of time that a visitor to a site can be inactive before their session time's out, but I don't know what the coding is or where it's placed. have never had to bother with this, but I've just started with a host, whose server seems to time-out my session after like 4 or 5 minutes

Connection Timeout
My database server in another location. When I try to connect the database from my pc using asp page it connect successfully. But when I upload asp page to web it display connection timeout. eg: (web ulr as http://www.test.com/plan/conne.asp)

Script Timeout
how you deal with script timeouts caused by huge file
uploads. Lets say I have a script timeout of 2 minutes and the user
uploads a file which takes more than this ...
Whats the best way to inform the user about this issue rather than
throwing the script timeout error.What approaches do you use for this....

Session.timeout
Can I put a session.timeout = "45" in the global.asa file?
and if yes, under what section?

ASP Login Timeout
I have a session timing out after 10 minutes.If the user clicks a
submit button to post some form data after the timeout has expired, they
are redirected to a login page...
Whats the standard practice for discovering what page they were
headed to and how can I make sure that the form data is posted to that
page so that no data is lost???
My assumption here is that the mechanism i'm using to redirect the user
to the login page, needs to pass the original destination as well as the
form data to the Login Form, and then the login form, once a proper
authentication is performed, would redirect to the original destination
allowing me to process the form data

Script Timeout
I've been researching this issue with little luck. Here's the situation:
We have a few users on slow dialup connections who are posting data from
forms. Frequently, they get script timeout errors. We've gotten timeouts
from users with faster connections as well, so I suspected that the overall
load is overtaxing the server. But it does seem to be more frequent with
dialup users posting relatively large (>10K) worth of data from forms. The
Script Timeout value for the site is 20 seconds. IMO, it's seems quite odd
that connection speed could influence a server-side script timeout, but...
Question: When form data is posted, does the server begin processing upon
receipt of the first packet with the post request, or does it wait until all
packets have arrived?
Question 2: Is 20 seconds too short, or are there potential problems with
increasing it to, say, 30, 45, or even 60 seconds?

Session.timeout
i have a wyswig editor ib my site. It stores all the data(text/images) in an access database. The trouble is i have a server.timeout on it and obviously when it times out i lose all the data.
Is there away of making it so it either:
1. Auto saves everything when the timeout happens?
2. Auto saves everything after say 5 mins?

Session.Timeout
I'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.

FaxServer Timeout
I've installed Fax Modem on My Windows 2000 Serer and Fax Service is running
I can send Fax via notepad
but when I tried to send fax from ASP
I got nothing but a timeout error
the ASP code as shown

dim FS
dim FD

Set FS = Server.CreateObject("FaxServer.FaxServer")
FS.Connect ("MachineName")
Set FD = FaxServer.CreateDocument("c: empFax.txt")
With FD
.SendCoverpage = 0
.FaxNumber = "123 4 567890"
.Send
End With

Session Timeout
Suppose I set the timeout of my session at 2 hours. If I remain using my ASP application for the full 2 hours, that is, it is never idle for more than say 20 minutes, does it still abandon the session after 2 hours? Or is the session only abandoned after 2 hours if, in that time, I haven't requested anything from the server?
