allowDefinition='MachineToApplication'

2009-10-22T11:57:00.000-07:00

Error 1 It is an error to use a section registered as allowDefinition='MachineToApplication' beyond application level. This error can be caused by a virtual directory not being configured as an application in IIS. C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\ncorp\index\Web.config 25

Check where the web.config is created. It might have been placed in one of the sub folders instead of the root folder.

Placing the right web.config in the right location should solve this problem.

[Microsoft][ODBC Driver Manager] Data source name not found and no default driver specified

Solutions:

One of the possible causes for the error is the driver that is used in the connection string.

Another possible cause may be the DSN is not set up correctly. Ensure that you test your DSN setting.

Why is my IIS log file have different time in it while my system time is set correctly?

2009-10-15T13:25:00.000-07:00

Check what kind of log is setup for IIS

For W3C Extended log file, the date and time is set to be in GMT by design and this should explain the time difference in the log files.

Classic ASP, Stored Procedures and NText

2009-05-21T13:06:00.001-07:00

This note is about the problem I had trying to display the NText variable from executing a stored procedure. Atlast, I figured out that we need to have the NText variable as the the last variable in the query in order for the data to get displayed in classic ASP pages.

NText, NVarchar in SQL Server - Support for Unicode Content

2009-05-21T13:04:00.000-07:00

NText used for characters in excess of 8000 bytes (=~4000 characters) of unicode content

NText stores upto 1 GB of data (Text stores upto 2 GB of data)

NText cannot be indexed

NText will not employ string functions like Len, Replace

When substr function is used on NText, there is conversion to nvarchar

NVarchar stores upto 4000 characters with unicode support for characters. This is an extra overhead and use this only if it is really needed.

How to execute .asp or .aspx file from my computer?

2008-12-28T17:17:00.001-08:00

When you want to execute your .asp/.aspx files on Windows IIS server you can get to know the name of the server or the local machine by right clicking on "My Computer" and then clicking "Properties" from the dialog box.

Under "Network Identification" or under the tab "Computer Name" there will be separate marking called "Full Computer name" followed by the name of the computer machine/server. For e.g. if the name is something like "myserver", then you can access the server side scripts by typing the following URL on the browser address bar

http://myserver/myprogram.aspx

Alternative way is to type http://localhost/myprogram.aspx or by typing
http://127.0.0.1/myprogram.aspx.

127.0.0.1 is the loopback address that causes requests to be sent to a web server on the local machine and 'localhost' is an alias for 127.0.0.1
