Deleting A Temp File On Session End From Global.asa
I am trying to write a sub that will delete a spreadsheet file created by the web user. THis is the code I have inserted into the global.asa file, but it is not working.
sub Session_OnEnd
'delete the temporary excel spreadsheet
Set objFSO = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objFSO.DeleteFile(Server.mappath("temp/<%=session.sessionid%>.xls"))
Set objFSO = Nothing
end sub
I have made sure that the temp folder has permissions set for the IUSR_machinename account to be able to delete files. I am running IIS 5 on a windows 2000 server.
I have initialized some session variables in Global.asa for our web application. But these session variables are returning null values; it is was working fine before; Recently we have rebuild our servers.
Please let me know if anyone of you have some idea?
I am trying to setup an ASP code to write a text file to the client side, not the server side, for the purpose where it will be email attachment.
The following code seems to only work on the server side and was wondering if there as an equivalent out there for the client side since I am trying to avoid potential interruptions on the server side:
Const TemporaryFolder = 2 Dim myFSO, WriteStuff, myAttachment, tfolder Set myFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Set tfolder = myFSO.GetSpecialFolder(TemporaryFolder) if (right(tfolder,1) <> "") then tfolder = tfolder & "" end if myAttachment = tfolder & "test.txt" Set WriteStuff = myFSO.CreateTextFile(myAttachment, True)
I'm just dipping my toes into server-side scripting.
The Global.asa file seemed really nice, but am I understanding correctly that the application onstart event is fired ONLY when the server is started/re-started or when the FIRST user logs onto an ASP application?
If that's the case, then all the changes I keep making to my Global.asa file are pretty useless, right? (which seems to be the case -- i.e., my pages are not using any of the new information). Code:
I recently installed IIS lockdown, and ever since my ASP pages have been hell. One problem is that now after a user views my ASP page which reads my local Access DB, the temporary file, .ldb, stays in the folder forever!
This temp file is created when a user opens the file, so I checked out the .ldb file and it says the ADMINISTRATOR is opening the file! How can the internet user be using the ADMIN account?! This is not good news! I will share my code for my page; however I have a feeling the code isn't the problem, but a setting is. Code:
I am using the File System Object to create server side cookies and part of the Function that I am writing deletes a file but I am getting a permissions denied error on that line of code.
I am using Integrated security only on this site but how do I get the IUSER_Machinename account to work with Integrated Security?
On my webpage users can upload files and also delete those files. Everything seems to work, but when they upload a file that contains spaces, I am having problems getting the file deleted, for example: "This is my file.txt"
Is there a way I can delete this file. I have tried to take out the spaces, but the file still doesn't delete: <%=Replace(Request("MyFile")," ","+")%>
where do you have to place your global.asa file in order for your session variables to work? If i dont have access to the root (not my server, a remote one), is there any way i can specify a path to my global.asa?
I can easily upload images, add to db etc etc... but is there a way of actually dynamically removing image files from the server? At the moment I have clients uploading banner adverts to the server, but if they decide to delete the image, it removes the record from the database.
I need to go one step further and remove these 'old files' from the server instead of simply taking up space etc. anyone have any great applications or scripts I can use with a delete statement?
I'm trying to add a "user-verifacation" thingy to my site. my problem is using/accessing session variables.
all the tutorials say that the global.asa should only have the script tags (<script...> & </script>) and inside the script itself only have the application/session onstart/end.
I've created this global.asa file and put it in my site-root folder:
I have started session("visitorID") in global.asa in order to keep track of how many users are on our site at any given time, trouble is I can't seem to call the session while on another page.
As I am relatively new to asp I'll post both the setting of the session and the call to it on the other page below Code:
i have a logon page, i create session variables for every person who logs on, but when their session times out, i want to redirect them (or have a popup window) that tells them that they have been logged off, but i have no success.' global.asa:
<script language="vbscript" runat="server">
Sub Session_OnEnd Response.Redirect "loggedout.asp" End Sub
</script>
but it doesnt work, i set the timeout to 1 minute, and i lose the session variables, but i cant seem to redirect them to the loggedout page!
I have a application which is a global login for other applications. Basically application A checks all the user login information and then lists all the applications B-Z that the user has access to.
I have a global.asa file in application A and individual global.asa files in applications B-Z. Applications B-Z are under the Application A directory. Can I have global.asa files in each of the application folders? Does the pages look for the closest global.asa file?
I have to keep track of user login time and logout tme for each application. The problem I run into is how do I record the user logout time when the session expires?
All, Just to give a little background this is reagarding an ASP 3.0 application running on IIS6 using the default app pool.
I have set the session timeout to 540 minutes in IIS (under options tab in Application configuration). There is no code in the Session_OnStart or Session_OnEnd in the global.asa. Via an include file, each page executes
Sorry, just wanted to give some background on what we're dealing with. Anyways, the problem is that the users are saying their session state is expiring much sooner than 540 minutes. How is this possible? What did I miss? Are there better techniques to ensure the 540 minute session?
I have a tbl.pictures on my website, several of the columns have refferal links to images. Having read through another link on this site, apparently it's the best way to do it. (Keeping the images in file rather than on/in the database)
My problem is that when a photographer deletes a photograph from my database the image files remain on my server. For the moment its ok but long term when they delete the record I would also like the images to removed from my server.
It worked fine with access db's but now it's giving me this error...

i just started learning what it can do, and I am using it to tracj how many people have logged into my site, but when people login to my site, I start 2 sessions, one for their ID, and one for their name. Is there any way to only count the name session as a session_onstart in global.asa?
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.
I need to set a session time out for this website that was created by someone else using ePower. How can I configure the global.asa page to set a time out session for the users or do I have to set this in IIS? Code:
I have absolutely no idea how global.asa works. I've read through quite a number of articles and they're all fine and dandy but implementing it on my (first) ASP application just doesn't work. It's amazing how ASP.NET automates everything for you.
Anyway, I need to store session variables and I have no idea how to. I have no global.asa file, but I can declare session variables fine. So does that mean that somewhere in the ASP process, a Session_OnStart() method's already running.
If I create a global.asa file, I put it in the same directory with other ASP files right?
A global.asa file should contain the basic four application/session methods... and shouldn't really contain much code, unless I want to start a variable with a default value. True or false (I say true). Code:
I am trying to run a Session_OnStart Script based on a Session variable that is created on a .asp page. The problem is that when I reference the Session in Global.asa It has no value but it has a value on the .asp page level. Is there a certain way that I have to reference a Session in Global.asa?
What I have is somthing like the following:
Sub Session_OnStart If Session("NIS")<> "" Then Run The Routine End If End Sub
Based on the above the routine does not run because Global.asa does not seem to get the value of Session("NIS").
I have a text file being create with the FileSystemObject. It's being built based on results from a SQL query. All this is working fine, but so that I have a carriage return VBCRLF at the end of each row, I have an empty row at the end of my text file. How do I delete this last line?
Until now I've only seen VBScript to handle application and session events (e.g. Application_OnStart, Session_OnStart). Is it possible to do this directly in JavaScript or do I have to write VBScript proxies?
