I'm a novice at coding and cannot get the script below to work I'm
receiving an Error 500 in the web browser when trying to run this script.
The site is www.murraywebs.com and the link is 'Retrieve Password' under the
logon form. the idea is to submit an email address and the password is
emailed to the user. (a very "basic" but common function of user management
systems).
The script(s) I'm using are based on
http://www.aspwebpro.com/tutorials/a...ectionopen.asp and
http://www.aspwebpro.com/aspscripts/...otpassword.asp. I've
made some adaptions to these scripts, because as they are, they don't work
either.
I'm using the JMail component on a Windows 2003 Server through my hosting
service www.spiritconnect.com.au
First there's a page with a email-form with one text field called "Email"
and a submit button that calls "confirm.as p" which contains the function to
send the password to the users email address.
Appreciate any help in troubleshooting . Code is below.
