Web Server - Ask For Help / File disconnection or denial of service issue

« on: March 15, 2024, 10:34:11 AM »

I'm getting random errors where my nettalk webserver program(multisite/multi-dll) will say it can't find some mssql file (not consistent which file is picked), then crash. Does that sound like it is a file disconnection issue, it might run for days or hours before the problem manifests.

It might be related to friendly people hammering the server with many requests trying to gain access, which also happens frequently. Anyone have any tips on how to deal with the bad actors trying to gain access. While blocking IP's via firewall, works, something a bit less manual would be handy. There are way more IP's available then I care to deal with 1 by 1

Web Server - Ask For Help / Mssql Driver options

« on: March 15, 2024, 10:21:25 AM »

Are these Driver options still recommended for MSSQL tables?
/BUSYHANDLING=2 /LOGONSCREEN=FALSE /MULTIPLEACTIVERESULTSETS=TRUE

I saw some posts from years ago and wanted to make sure a better way hasn't arrived.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Splitting up large netwebform

« on: May 16, 2023, 08:27:56 AM »

I have reached a limit on adding new controls to a webform, so I was going to copy the webform to a new procedure , remove extra controls and include the new webform (minus duplicate controls) back into the original procedure, to get around the limit.   Which seemed to work, except all the lookups stopped working, and by stopped I mean the popup lookups open and close, but the fields never get updated. I've tried deleting and recreating the controls but the lookup fields refuse to get updated with the selected values.  Can anyone offer an insight as to why they quit working in the new procedure?

Web Server - Ask For Help / Multihost Global Extensions Question

« on: December 01, 2022, 05:41:22 PM »

How should the global extensions be setup in the host exe? For the capesoft extensions I'm assuming that the "This is a part of a Multi-DLL program" checkbox should not be checked in the host, but checked in the sub websites (app's) if they are multi dll, correct?

Web Server - Ask For Help / Upgrade to 12.38 causes too many segdef in file error (solved)

« on: March 31, 2022, 02:20:40 PM »

I was using Nettalk version no: 12.33 and was going to upgrade 12.38, however when I compile one of my apps in a multi-dll application I'm getting the "Too many segdef in file:..." error.  This is occurring not on the largest app, just a middle sized one, it only has around 20 procedures (excluding external procedures), it is not the "data" DLL. The data dll and other DLLs in this app compile fine, just this particular one is giving me grief.  Any thoughts on this?

E-Mail - Ask For Help / download all message issue

« on: April 05, 2018, 04:36:12 PM »

I'm trying to download all messages (even previously downloaded ones), from gmail.  However after the first time I download the email, it becomes invisible to my download client.  Also I've noticed that if I set the OptionsDelete=1 property, it is basically ignored (or is something more required to delete the message?). I'm not sure if it is a gmail issue or something else is going on.  Here is my code for downloading email:

      ThisEmailReceive.Server = POPServer
      ThisEmailReceive.Port = POPPort
      ThisEmailReceive.User = Username
      ThisEmailReceive.Password = Password
      ThisEmailReceive.OptionsDelete = 1
      ThisEmailReceive.OptionsDontSaveAttachments = 0
      ThisEmailReceive.OptionsDontSaveEmbeds = 1
      ThisEmailReceive.attachmentPath = CLIP(IncomingDirectory) & '\'
      ThisEmailReceive.SSL = POPRequiresSSL
      if ThisEmailReceive.SSL
        ThisEmailReceive.SSLCertificateOptions.CertificateFile = ''
        ThisEmailReceive.SSLCertificateOptions.PrivateKeyFile = ''
        ThisEmailReceive.SSLCertificateOptions.DontVerifyRemoteCertificateWithCARoot = 1
        ThisEmailReceive.SSLCertificateOptions.DontVerifyRemoteCertificateCommonName = 1
        ThisEmailReceive.SSLCertificateOptions.CARootFile = '.\CaRoot.pem'
      end
      ThisEmailReceive.Decide(NET:EmailDownload)
      ThisEmailReceive.Ask(NET:EmailDownload)

Ideas?

Web Server - Ask For Help / Nettalk 6.18 and Secwin compile error

« on: February 08, 2012, 06:11:12 PM »

I sent an email regarding this, but didn't get a response (it may have been eaten by the spam filter), so thought I'd re-post it here.

There appears to be a problem, in the netweb.tpw file on line 10815.  There are quotes around %SecwinCtrlsDisplayProcedure that are causing compile errors.  Is is currently like this: 

loc:SecwinProcedure = '%SecwinCtrlsDisplayProcedure'

but I believe it should be like this:

loc:SecwinProcedure = %SecwinCtrlsDisplayProcedure

It currently generates the closingScripts routine like this

ClosingScripts  Routine
  data
Rtn_SecwinProcedureName         string(252)
  code
    do SetFormAction
    if p_web.GetSessionLevel() = ds_Supervisor
      Rtn_SecwinProcedureName = 'Employers'
    end

    if p_web.GetSessionLevel() = ds_Supervisor
      loc:SecwinProcedure = ''Employers'' <--------------Here is the problem generated source code line.
    else
      loc:SecwinProcedure = ''
    end

One final thing of note I entered 'Employers' as the "Secwin friendly name" on the Security tab.

Web Server - Ask For Help / Single Insert Form and Chaining

« on: January 29, 2009, 05:02:44 PM »

I have a (memory) form that that gets prefilled by another web site.  When the user clicks on the save button it is supposed to insert several records and then return to an external page that is in one of the posted fields. 
With IE7 this works, however with IE6 it is not working.  Instead the beginning of the supplied address (i.e. www.whatever.com) is dropped and www.whatever.com/somepage.asp becomes www.myserveraddress.com/somepage.asp.  Which fails.

I looked at trying to use the "Chain_to" variable or setting the "URL on Save" and it then navigates correctly, but then ceases to go thru the PostUpdate and ValidateAll routines, which is where I write the records and validate the record.  Why does it do that?

Am I doing something wrong, or thoughts on how to get this to work will be greatly appreciated.

I've a client that is trying to post some information from their web site into my Web app.  I can see the data that they are posting, however none of it appears on my webpage when it opens.  Is there something special I have to do have so that their web page will prefill in data?

Web Server - Ask For Help / Conditionally choose form path

« on: November 07, 2008, 11:23:44 AM »

I want to setup an order form that will allow users to create an order for numerous accounts.  If the user is entering a possibly duplicate account (i.e. name/address) I want to warn them of this condition and then give them the option to place the order under the existing account or to just create a new account.

I don't know how to conditionally ask a question and then go to one of two web pages, any help would be much appreciated.

FYI: Unfortunately I can't use a browse with a lookup for accounts(client constraint).
