Hello all, I just installed the forum, and it's just amazing how complete it is. There's something weird with my application variables. Here's a part of my global asa, i use it to show the number of visitors etc.. (PS: It is not an ASP question) Sub Session_OnStart application.lock application("activevisitors") = application("activevisitors") + 1 application.unlock .......................................... Sub Session_OnEnd application.lock application("activevisitors")=application("activevisitors") - 1 application.unlock End Sub And guess what after installing the forum i have values like there is 30 active visitors while there's only one. Anyone can guess the reason of that?? Thank's again Anthony. |

Session_OnEnd is very imprecise. AOL will initiate a session for every request to a page - e.g. a session for each image. If you're on some of the free hosts, you're sharing your application pool with other sites. -------------

Hello, dpyers, what u said about AOL is interesting, however i was looking at my logs, there's no AOL logs at all. I'm on shared hosting right now, am i sharing my application pool if so? Thank you |

yes you are likely , who is the webhost? some webhosts will move you/isolate you into your own application pool, some wont |

dj air, i'm with hosteur.com which is a relatively good webhost for my student budget. The weird thing is that i never noticed weird values until i installed the forum so i thought it was because of the forum. I will ask my webhost concerning my application pool. Thanks a lot for all your help. Best regards Anthony |

Let us know what happens. I'd be interested in how it all turns out.

Ok dpyers, I'll keep on testing until i understand so i can explain to my webhost the problem, because till now, i cannot really explain. Anyway i don't think they will be of a help, for them it won't be a serious problem  .Thanks |
