yup...and that is a good idea - much less overhead storing it assuch.  Unfortunately for my situation, till my host gets thingssquared away with their load balancing and client affinity issues, theApplication level variables don't look like they will work on aconsistent basis.

I'll have to put it back into the DB or just disable Active Users till I can rewrite it or get the server issue looked into.

The data use to be stored in the database in previous versions but toincrease performance and decrease database hits it was moved to anapplication level array.]]> Tue, 23 Nov 2004 07:06:40 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/i-have-3-problems_topic12644_post70118.html#70118 <![CDATA[I have 3 problems : ok - I think I figured it out...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/i-have-3-problems_topic12644_post70113.html#70113 Author: Bobum

ok - I think I figured it out at least on my server setup.  We areon a server farm and as such if customer A originates his form postfrom Server A and it ends up posting to and being returned by Server B,that your all-important ASP session data will not remain intact.  Theway to make sure that everything works as it should is to play with theclusters host client affinity settings.  When its client affinity parameter setting is enabled, Network Load Balancing directs all TCP connections from one client IP address to the same cluster host. This allows session state to be maintained in host memory.

Follow this link fo more info on Network Load Balancing and Client Affinity

http://www.eggheadcafe.com/articles/20020302.asp

The easy way to solve this without getting your host to alter theirLoad Balancing scheme would be to just store & retrieve the data inSQLServer rather than in an Application variable.

I have figured out that what seems to be happening is that theApplication("saryAppActiveUsers") application array is actually actingas a session variable and not an application variable.

If I understanditcorrectly th Application variable is supposed to bepersistant among users and as such should update for anyone accesingthe website.  In my case and prolly yours, it is not.  It isacting as a session variable and as such only showing what users arelogged on for that session - which of course would be one.

Looking further into fixing this on the server as I think that's where the problem lies...

I have the exat same problem as your problem #1

No matter how many people I have logged on, the Active Users listing onthe front page AND the actual ActiveUser.asp page only show 1 user andit's that user that is currently viewing on that computer.

It has to be a server setting or something...I am still investigatingthis but I am pretty confident that's GOT to be what it is...

We are running IIS with either Win2k or Winsk3 Adv Server - am looking into that to verify

Anyone else have any ideas?

Ok, just to update...I figured out why I could only see one user online.  Turns out, the forum looks for users based on their IP address.  And since I was testing the forum out on my computers here at home that are all connected via a router, they all appear to have the same IP address when I connect through my WAN IP, but If I connect via my local IP on all my computers, the forum will list all the users online. 

I'm still working on getting the upload and email thing figured out.

All these errors look like server errors, but they are not the standdard server errors you should expect.

All I can suggest is that you change some of your server settings.

Maybe someone else can help further.

If you can give some info on your server, like OS and any unsual settings this may help.

Also check MSDN and the aspSmartUpload site for further help.]]> Mon, 22 Nov 2004 05:11:15 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/i-have-3-problems_topic12644_post70062.html#70062 <![CDATA[I have 3 problems : Problem 1: First of all, I can&#039;t...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/i-have-3-problems_topic12644_post70055.html#70055 Author: Tormoni

Problem 1:  First of all, I can't seem to get the Active Users to display on the main forum page.  I have the forum up and running and am in the testing stages now.  What I have done is log onto the forum using 2-3 different computers, using 2-3 test users at the same time.  And on each terminal, it shows 1 user online, and only lists that one username logged onto the terminal.  Any ideas on this?  I can't figure it out.

Problem 2:  I have noticed that when using the forgotten password link, that after I put in the userid and email address, it gives me an error message, it will change the password, but won't send the email with the new password.  The email option works for forum replies and for mass email, just not for a forgotten password.  I get this error:

Problem 3:  I can't seem to get the upload to work.  I am using aspSmartUpload, and when I try to upload an avatar, for example, I get throught the browse for file, etc, but when it processes, it gives me a white screen with this error:
