Error on Connecting ISAPI to Access Xp DB
Hi Experts,
I have Two questionS:
Q1-I Defined a DSN in ODBC of Windows 2000 advanced server(system DSN section).I used database,query,session components For connecting To My DSN .and when I pressed connected on My object inspector , Connect it,I writed my query and ...
finally compile my ISAPL.dll and worked properly
but when i want to work with submit button on my web page in my browser, I see this Error:
"Key violation. [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver] The Microsoft Jet database engine cannot open the file '(unknown)'.It is already opened exclusively by another user, or you need permission to view its data. [Microsoft][ODBC Microsoft Access Driver]Invalid connection string attribute DATABASE General SQL error.
Alias: DELPHILINK"
How can I connect To my database ?
Q2- How can i debug my ISAPI.dll ?
That can be behave as a process .
Note 1 : My database is Access Xp. I tested this work from my browser.I logged to computer as administrator Role.
Note 2 :
Q1 has 75 points value
Q2 has 50 points value
best regards

Any Feed back From You, GooBul
Hi,
About 1:
Do you have other Delphi ISAPI application running on the same IIS? If this is the first app then I'd try the IIS without DB first.
1. Create one simple ISAPI with one action only returning a static HTML page on 'GET' request (no databases).
2. Copy the DLL to your scripts folder.
3. Call the link in a browser.
If you get your static HTML page then the IIS is working OK. Try that and let me know the result.
One more thing: the error looks like there is some kind of security/permissions problem. What is your Database.LoginPrompt property set to? Can you use the same DSN with a standalone app (not ISAPI) and when connecting to the db are you receiving a login dialog? You should not see such a dialog.
About 2:
I'm sorry but I can't help you more because I've never had to do so.

Hi,
my ISAPI has three actions
the first is restricted to returning back the html page(teturn this page well ) but when I want to refer to action that have database operations show me above Result page.
about
>> on more thing :<<
i set my database.loginpromt:=false
and i can connect to this DSN with datacontrolls(such as Dbgrid).

OK, thanks. That makes things clearer. My proposal is to forget about BDE and migrate to ADO using 'Microsoft Jet OLE DB Provider' in the ConnectionString property for accessing mdb databases. You need TADOConnection instead of TDatabase, no TSession, TADOQuery instead of TQuery. If you want to use DSN you might set 'Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers' in the TADOConnection.
Alternatively you may try CGI instead of ISAPI just to see if it would work as expected.

Hi,thanks for advice,
but i think my problem was existed in security issue of IIS scripts file,
because when in dicetory security of my anynomouse to administrator my program was
worked. but i dont knoe that i did a good selection for anynomous account.
Finally,what is the best configuring for IIS for connecting to DB ?

Hi, I changed BDE to ADO component but My last problem was existed ,
I dont know what is the good configurations For my IIS(5) to supporting my web applications(ISAPI).
Note 1 : My web application want to interact with internet Users . <-- important
NOte 2 : In Future, I want to implement my tables on Oracle Databases
IF you say the answer of below question,I can increase points To 200 with A grade.
Q:How my web applications(such as ISAPI.dll or CGI ) can connect to oracle database For supporting internet users?
My purpose From upper question is configuring my server side for connecting To db from my web application.
I know, How local users can connect to server side but i dont know how can i configure my web server for
connecting users from my isapi to my DB.
best regards

Hi,
About configuring your IIS:
Perhaps you should ask a question in another area - 'Web Servers->IIS'.
What I could say is that the anonymous access uses one special account 'IUSR_MachineName' (in my IIS at least). You have to grant that account access to your mdb file. Select the file and open its properties. Go to 'Security' tab and add full access to that account (named 'Internet Guest Account' in my XP).
About Oracle:
There is nothing special about Oracle db compared to other SQL servers, I think. Connect to the sql server as you'd do it in normal apps. The only thing you should check is that your local account (described above) has been granted an appropriate access to the server.

About Your IIS Idea:
I read a article in www.maltus.com about this data entry with ISAPI
>>
Create an ODBC alias for this mdb file called WEBSITE_ODBC using the ODBC Manager.
The ODBC DSN should be a System DSN since it will be used by the Webserver(IIS) and not
by a logged-on user. This point is very important to note. On Windows NT, IIS uses IUSER_ as the user. This user has limited access to the system. <<
what is your idea about this thing ?

what is your idea about this thing ?
Using ADO you don't need any ODBC DSN. ODBC is the old database access technology while OLE DB Provider (which ADO uses) is the new one. Add TADOConnection component (equvalent of TDatabase), set its ConnectionString property and use TADOQuery, TADOTable, etc ADO components setting their Connection property to that ADOConnection1 (or whatever you name it). Don't forget to grant full access to the mdb file as I said before.

OK,
I often use of ADO ,
but if we attention to article,we can find that
this article say giving access to tables only special for system (not IUSER_<machinename>).
with your proposed work we give Full permissions to IUSER_<machinename) for accessing to Db,

Question:
How can I access Local Interbase from a web server application?
I'm using NT and getting the error message "Unknown user name
or password." when attempting to access Local Interbase from a
Web server application. How do I fix the problem?
Answer:
Make the following changes to your configuration:
1-Interbase must be running as a service (not as an app w/
tray icon). Which you can change by clicking on the
Properties for the tray icon for IB.
2-Both the Interbase server and WWW Server must have the
following right set: Control Panel | Services |
InterBase Server | Startup make sure "Allow Service to
Interact with Desktop is checked". <--- my purpose is this

thanks for your assisting
but you can give only 50 points with A grade of total points.
At this moment I have several ISAPI and CGI apps (IIS) working perfectly with mdb files via ADO (MS Jet OLE DB) in the way I've already described. I also have one ISAPI using System DSN ODBC (MS Access Driver) but with MSAccess97 database. I don't know what else I could say.
If you want to give me 50 points then ask a question (for zero points) in the Community Support (CS link at the top of the page) to decrease the points of this question and to refund you the rest. Add a link to this question there also.

Sorry For everything,
Becasue the experts effort in this site are for helping others.
But i compared your effort with points,

about:
>>I also have one ISAPI using System DSN ODBC (MS Access Driver) but with MSAccess97

Do you define IUSER_<machinename> user in properties/security for your mdb file ?
IF yes,in really your IUSER_<macinename> uses for Writing/Reading To/From your DB(not system user)
IF No, I will intall access( 2000 or 97) For this work .

Thank you.

You don't have to. Just ask a question in CS and site moderators will handle the issue. They are always very helpful.
>Do you define IUSER_<machinename> user in properties/security for your mdb file ?
Yes. You could try both ways yourself and see if there will be any difference.
>IF yes,in really your IUSER_<macinename> uses for Writing/Reading To/From your DB(not system user)
I really don't know :-)
