Here it is fellow programmers: ASP Chat Version 3.0. I had promised when I first the skeleton ASP Chat Script i.e. Version 1.0, that I would try my hardest to clone the Yahoo! Chat Rooms. After a lot of hair-pulling and siting in tutorial sites, I fixed almost all the glitches and added a lot of new features. This new version allows users in a particular website to dynamically chat with other people accessing the same website. A good thing in this new version is that you can create you own Chat room, if you don't like the ones that are listed. Included as a bonus is a logging ability, which logs any activity in any chat room using seperate text files. It also displays the IP address of the user connected to the Chat Room. If you like it please vote for it! :)

Hi JC!
Hmm, I never saw that error before. Is there something you did different when you copied the files into your desired directory? I'm happy to help you in any way that I can, but I'm kinda lost as to what you did for it to cause it. It may be something simple, or something difficult to fix, but I'm here to help ya out! Drop me a line if you haven't fixed it already with other's help. I'll be happy to lend a hand.

Do you have any ideas on the scalability of the application? ie would it support 100 simultaneous users, etc? Thanks!
(If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

7/25/2001 10:02:09 PM: Kaustav Acharya
Hey Sean,
Well as far as I know, you can have as many people as you want logged in simultaneously. If you come across a problem having large users let me know.

Excellent! I'm truly impressed. I'm having the same problem about logging off from the chat room. Is this a known glitch? Or is it just me?
(If this comment was disrespectful, please report it.)

7/28/2001 5:23:04 PM: Kaustav Acharya
Hey Ellen!
The problem you're facing is one that has been brought to my attention numerous times. If the user does not hit the log off button and closes the chat window, the user stays online until the server is rebooted. Theoretically the server should time the user out after 15-20 min, at least so I thought. Many people have been trying to fix it along with me, but unfortunately so far no luck :(. Sorry Ellen, I wish I could help you more, but I'm working on a solution and will let people know ASAP! Thanks for your interest in my code!

Well, this is a great script, I'll hand you that. Just one annoying and abundant amongst coders problem :: No logout. It will only log the user out if they chose to. Please fix. Otherwise, great code! 5 stars!

Quite a improvement from the first code you posted (CDONTS Mailer).
To respond to Kings--I have seen this logout "bug" in more than one ASP chat. Don't know about the layout...

I didn't know if you or jc have found a way to fix it. All I did was download the code and make what changes needed. I can't load my site with this error.

I found this code very useful and would like to thank the author for sharing it. I have adapted some code to enable old chat sessions and users to be cleared off. Also, I have adapted the date stamp to allow for time differences (ie +0500 for EST to GMT). If anyone would find this useful, I can post the code here (if possible) or e-mail it out.

I absolutely love the code that you have written, when I have seen it in action, but unfortunately, I keep getting multiple errors! I copy it -exactly- to a folder on my server, called chat.
When I go to default.asp, everything is fine. I have created a room, but when I type in a name, and try to connect to it, I get the following error:
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0046'
Permission denied
/burritoslair/chat/chat.asp, line 49
This occurs in the main frame of the chat room. The bottom and right hand frame are fine. Do you have any idea what the problem could be?
Thank you very much!

hi Kaustav, this is e very good aspchat.. i've been looking long time for something like this!
I've noticed though that an error occurs quite often. When i just leave the chat open without chatting the following error appears:

Any idea why this is happening?
Thanks alot!

The errors reported by Mr. Burrito and others appear to be caused by the lack of permission to upload to the chat folder on your server. If you share a server, you may have to get the host to give

As I was saying, get the host to change the permissions to give "everyone" "full" permissions. This solved the problem for me. The error I'm talking about looks like this:
Microsoft VBScript
runtime error '800a0046'
Permission

Also occurs on exit.asp
