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?
View RepliesDo I need to do a Application_onstart first then i can do Session_onstart?? or it doesnt matter which one is used b4 which one? When i use a global.asa, do i need to call it within my asp page to execute it or will it be auto started and execute?
View Replies View RelatedI have one IIS 6 machine that seems to ignore global.asa completely. I can't get *anything* to fire -- not Session_OnStart(), not typelib declarations. This is true in the web root as well as in any application folder.
In particular, this is preventing me from loading the ADO 2.8 type library,but I cannot even force an error by using a malformed GUID.This is my only machine that appears to have this problem.
In Global.asa I have mentioned two sub routines 1> Session_OnStart and 2>Application on Start but both of them are not at all initiated when I restart IIS.
Please Tell me why is this happening, I have tried ever ....
In my Session_OnStart in Global.asa, I am setting some cookies. One
of them, I set as follows:
dim UserID
UserID = Request.ServerVariables("LOGON_USER")
Response.Cookies("User")("ID") = UCASE(UserID)
When I immediately log the cookie value retrieved from
Request.Cookies("User")("ID") into the Windows Event Log, I get the
correct value. However, when I try to retrieve the cookie on the home
page of my application using the same code,
Request.Cookies("User")("ID"), it either cannot find the cookie or
cannot read the value. I am retrieving the cookie before all HTML
headers are written. It is my first statement on the page after
Option Explicit. I have even compared the session IDs. The SessionID
created in the Session_OnStart is the same value as the SessionID on
the home page.
I have read that the Session_OnStart only has access to the
Application, Session and Request objects. It does not explicitly say
that it does not have access to the Response object. Also, I was even
able to use Response.Write's in Global.asa to print out the values
although it looked like it had also stopped the session after I did
so. Cookies are definitely enabled on my machine. I have even tried
setting the session cookie's expiration to be persistent for a few
days to see if it was perhaps expiring before I was able to read it
but this did not work either.
Is there something preventing cookies to be created in Global.asa in
the Session_OnStart sub? Is the Response object not available???
Please let me know if anyone else has had this problem or solution.
This is a standard ASP application that has several pages at the root
withthe global.asa. I set a session variable session("accountid") =
"123456" within an asp page and then response.redirect to the next page and
immediately response.write session("accountid") and I get back nothing.
But if I set a session variable session("accountid") = "123456" within an
asp page and response.redirect to a page in a sub directory and immediately
response.write session("accountid") I get back 123456 on the screen.
I've searched over 1 hour on Google and elsewhere and haven't found
anything.
I'd like to find a way to get the real active user count on our website.
THe main problem I have is when a user quit with the "X" the counter will be
decremented of 1 only when the Session.Timeout will be expired.
i have found a source in asp101.
but i have a problem.
why i cannot count the items in my cart.
i have try to use
session.contents.count
and
session.content()
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?
View Replies View RelatedI'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:
<script type="text/javascript" language="javascript" runat=server>
function Session_OnStart()
{ Session("LoggedIn") = "NO"
}
</script>
but i can't access the session variable Session("LoggedIn")... from any page.
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?
CAn I set a session variable dynamically based on a value in a database and use the global.asa to do it...
View Replies View RelatedAll, 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
these no-cache related code:
Response.Buffer = True
Response.ExpiresAbsolute = Now() - 1
Response.Expires = 0
Response.CacheControl = "no-cache"
Response.CacheControl = "private"
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?
Can I put a session.timeout = "45" in the global.asa file? and if yes, under what section?
View Replies View RelatedI'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:
View Replies View RelatedI 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 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 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.
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?
Can I implement session without global.asa file in my root directory....and is there any good site for sessions tutorial.
View Replies View RelatedWhat i'm trying to do is delete away some rows of data in a database when a session ends. The codes are shown below. The problem is why the the database dont get deleted even after i set the timeout to 1 (waited for more than 1 minute) or after the script called the Session.Abandon? Code:
View Replies View Relatedi want to increase my session time so that it does not expire till the user closes the site.
i have written in global.asa file the following code:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="VBScript" RUNAT="Server">
Sub Session_OnStart
Session.Timeout = -1
End Sub
</script>
but it doesnt work and my sesion still expires.
The "Session_OnStart" event doesnot fire if the website has .htm file as the
startup document. If I change the extension of the default document from
..htm to .asp then I can see the event fires, But now I cant change the
default page to .asp.
How can I make the Session_OnStart fire in that situation?
In the Session_OnStart sub I create a random session name in a session variable, then create a file under that name for statistical purposes.
Upon session expiration (user closes window, etc.) I want to reopen the file to add more data. I placed this code in the Session_OnEnd section.
My OnEnd data does not get written to the file. However if I put the exact same code in the Session_OnStart sub it works.
I have one application folder containing all ASP code files. I want host multiple sites pointing to same code. Can I do this ? If YES then how I can assign diffrent global.asa to each application...

I have "privacy" in IE 6.X set to "block all cookies" the cookie is

I have a column n_fog defined as text. In this i have numbers or blank value in it.
For example i have 5 records
Record - number
