CDONTS install

[Jeff]

I have a dedicated windows server on BlueGenesis.

I'd like to send an email using ASP, but I'm getting this error message:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01ad'

ActiveX component can't create object: 'CDONTS.NewMail '

I'm told that is because CDONTS is not installed.

So, how do I install cdonts or some other asp mail program. How much
is that going to cost?

I'm a perl programmer and I'm always a little shocked at what is not
built into ASP!!! No less so than now.

Re: CDONTS install

Use CDOSYS.. it's built in and free

http://www.powerasp.com/content/new/sending_email_cdosys.asp

http://www.powerasp.com/content/new/self_submitting_contact_form_using_cdosys.asp

And perl sucks ass to work with IMO, I couldn't have been more happy many
years back when I didn't have to work with that crap anymore.

Thanks, This looks like it might work. No errors, but no emails yet
either...

Really? I find it terribly annoying to have to string stuff together
like this:

Dim Message

Message = "first line"
Message = Message & "second line"
Message = Message & "third line"


when I can do this:

my $Message =q{

First line
Second Line
third line
and so on
and soon
};

Or 2 other ways....

and to send that as an email:

open(SENDMAIL, "|$sendmail_pat h -oi -t ") or die $!;
print SENDMAIL <<EOF;
To: some addess
From: some_ from
Subject: $subject

$Message

EOF

close(SENDMAIL) ;

or to save that as a file:

open(IF,">$file path");
print $Message;
close IF;


I also like that perl gives human readable error messages, I guess
YMMV. And I like that if the server/OS gets upgraded, everything still
works. And I like that perl runs fine on any server, including windows.

Cheers,
Jeff

Check your mailroot pickup and queue folders. It might be lurking
there somewhere... Alternatively, check that your hosting company has
set up the SMTP server correctly on the dedicated server.

And perl sucks ass to work with IMO, I couldn't have been more happy many

So do I, which is why I do this:

Dim Message
Message = "first line" & _
"second line" & _
"third line"

Redefining the value of a string variant on each line as in your
example can be quite an expensive operation....

Who told you you have to use VBScript in ASP? Or for that matter, that there
is only one way to concatenate in VBScript?

VBScript alternative:
Message = "first line" &_
"second line" &_
"third line"

JScript:
Message = "first line" +
"second line" +
"third line"

JScript alternative:
Message = ["first line"]
Message.push("s econd line")
Message.push("t hird line")
// Message.join("\ r\n") returns string with breaks between lines

Or a dozen other ways. Your ignorance of them does not mean they do not
exist.

and to send that as an email:
>

print SENDMAIL <<EOF;

Subject: $subject

How is that different from this?

var MSG = Server.CreateOb ject("CDO.Messa ge")
MSG.To = {some address}
MSG.From = {some address}
MSG.Subject = {Some subject}
MSG.TextBody = Message.join("\ r\n") // from example above
MSG.Send()

I also like that perl gives human readable error messages,
I guess YMMV.

This human read ASP errors every day. Few surprise me. Ever.

And I like that if the server/OS gets upgraded, everything
still works. And I like that perl runs fine on any server,
including windows.

Nobody is stopping you from using perl. Have at it.

I'm betting that the SMTP server is not setup correctly since it's been
a while since the message were sent. Does everything in IIS6 go out
using the SMTP server and are these "server objects" just differen ways
of calling it?

I can login using remote desktop, what should I look for? This is
IIS6 and the support is terrible at BlueGenesis, didn't used to be....

Thanks, I'll do that instead. I still prefer "here docs", but you got to
use what you have!

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't ASP the only way possible to have a
server side progress bar for file uploads? I know you can't do that in
perl or PHP because the whole file is slurped in before any code is
executed. I'm pretty sure, but not positive, that .net works the same way.

I'm sure that you prefer ASP because you are more familiar with it,
the same is true for my choices.

This is where I get a little out of my depth. Not that familiar with
IIS6, but I suspect that C:\Inetpub\mail root contains the folders. Try
there first. (Pickup, Queue, BadMail). You might want to find out
whether the IIS SMTP service is in fact running, and that they haven't
stuck ASPEMail or some other component on there instead....

On my dedicated server, CDO code will not throw errors, but it won't
send. The mail server they set up on it is MailEnable.

Your hosting company should sort this out for you. If they are
complete rubbish, can 'em. Good dedicated server hosts are 10 a penny,
and that kind of package is rarely cheap.

Re: CDONTS install

If you got a question about progress bars I suggest you start a new thread.

As for Perl I used it for over 5 years and I know Perl so there is no need
to keep showing me your little examples.

As for CDOSYS emails not sending try sending the emails using a real email
server and eliminate your doubts about whether smtp is running... those
articles cover that scenario with cdosys as well.

Perhaps you're aware of this already, but ActiveState's distribution can
be used under ASP.

I only posted once what annoys me about ASP. You can be as simple or as

I'm not sure what you mean there. I figured that cdosys is the
interface for smtp, or am I wrong? What do you mean by a real mail server?

I don't know much about windows 2003, except that it is different
enough than windows 2000 that I can't find things where I thought they
were.

Re: CDONTS install

dude, did you read the article

http://www.powerasp.com/content/new/sending_email_cdosys.asp

it is all explained in great detail.. I don't see how I could explain it any
better

CDOSYS can be used in all sorts of ways, many more than that article even
gets into
