    ASP.NET Sessions

    I've seen this happen if the client accesses the internet through a proxy server requiring authentication. When they are prompted for their credentials by the proxy server, the session is reset. Other than that, I can't think of any other reason. Most likely something on the client end...

    How my customers would purchase hosting

    Does it integrate with any Australian payment gateways? The only one I know of is PayMate.com.au, and I don't think that's on your list. Are there any others that accept payment in Aussie Dollars?

    How my customers would purchase hosting

    Can someone give me an idea of how selling hosting as a reseller works? How would my customers actually enter their details and purchase the hosting? Does the reseller package provide this facility, or is it up to me to capture new client information and manually set up the account for them...

    Scheduled Tasks

    I have some other websites hosted on DiscountASP.net and they've just started offering a great feature called "scheduled tasks". It's free. They basically allow one task per customer. You enter a URL of a page on your website and they'll hit it at set intervals for you. The minimum time...

    Dynamic PDF Creation?

    I use iTextSharp in ASP.NET with C#. It works well enough. You basically build tables and cells to create the format you need. If you'd consider ASP.NET, take a look at http://itextsharp.sourceforge.net/

    ASP.NET Sessions

    From my experience, sessions are ok for use in Intranet based systems. I don't use them on the web though.

    Webalizer problem?

    I agree - those sort of programs give much better stats. I tried one for a whlile too but it expired. So I'm back with Webalizer for the moment. The only thing I like about it is that my colleauges can easily check the stats as well - we don't all need to download the logs.

    Webalizer problem?

    I think this may have been overlooked. Can someone reply to it?

    Webalizer problem?

    Is there something wrong with the Webalizer stats? It only seems to be holding the last 7 days worth of stats for Feb. At the moment, mine is showing stats only for 22nd - 29th March. What about before that? There are still stats there for Feb.

    ASP.NET Sessions

    Yes, set timeout to 30 and cookieless to true. The "mode" tells IIS where to store the session values and can be changed to a couple of other settings. I don't know exactly what they are. I think "InProc" basically means the session values are stored in memory on the IIS server. It can be...

    Don't want to add an Australian leg to your team do you? ;)

    ASP.NET Sessions

    Rashid, Keep in mind that sessions use cookies to store the session id, unless you set cookieless="true" in the web.config file. Then the session id is added to the URL. So if your url was www.mysite.com/mypage.aspx, it becomes www.mysite.com/sessionid/mypage.aspx. ASP.NET handles adding...

    web.config and custom errors

    From memory, I think the "Off" word is case-sensitive. Make sure that's right. I've also had this problem where the settings were being taken from a web.config file in a higher level directory. If all else fails and you can't get it to report the detailed error message, put some code in...

    Invoice timing

    Can't you simply write a script and have the credit card processing sites (2CO, Paypal, etc) return to the script page once payment has been made? The script would be given the account name, update the database to say the account has been paid, and then just thank the user for paying or...

    Invoice timing

    The way in which billing is handled is causing me a problem and I think it should be changed. I received my invoice today for my next month of hosting. I paid it immediately via credit card. A few hours later now and I'm trying to add a subdomain to my account. But it won't let me...
