Hello Everyone Hope ur doing fine.
I am using a file GLOBAL.ASA
-----------------------------
<script language="vbscript" runat="server">

Sub Application_OnEnd()
Application("totvisitors")=Application("visitors")
End Sub

Sub Application_OnStart
Application("visitors")=0
End Sub

Sub Session_OnStart
Application.Lock
Application("visitors")=Application("visitors")+1
Application.UnLock
End Sub

Sub Session_OnEnd
Application.Lock
Application("visitors")=Application("visitors")-1
Application.UnLock

End Sub
</script>

I am displaying the No of Active users as<%response.write("Application("visitors")")%> but it is showing 1(one) user always.
Please guide me in this reghard.

How are you viewing the total number of active users that would allow you not to be one of them? Does that make sense? If you are viewing a page on the server, and therefore have started a session with the server, then of course there will be at least one user active.

Just another note on your code as well, if your goal of the Application_OnEnd() is to gather the total number of users that have visited your site between application runs, then it will not work. Since you increment and decrement Application("visitors") everytime a session starts or ends, then when the application ends, you will only get the total number of active users at the time the application was terminated. You should increment totusers every time a session starts and leave it at that, otherwise your numbers won't be accurate.

Thanx for ur quick reply. But I am not showing the Total Visitors visited the Site. But when I show the no of active visitors sometimes it shows -1 or 1.<%=application("visitors")%> I couldn't figure it out. Plesae review it and let me now. I'll be grateful to u for this favor.

When you make changes to your Global.asa, do you unload your site via IIS? I can see the -1 happening maybe if you installed your global.asa after the application on_start occured, but that file shouldn't run really without restarting the site...I'm grasping at straws at this point...

Like I said in my previous post though, no matter what, if you are viewing a page in the application then you have created a session and should be considered an active user. So you should always at least see a 1 for the number of active users. If this doesn't make sense let me know.

The -1 might be due to the scenario I mentioned above, but I'm not completely sure. I would try unloading the site, and stopping and starting it via IIS. This should give you a clean slate to work with as far as session and application state are concerned.
