I've create a custom com object and I use it as follow:
set test = Server.CreateObject(myObject.classID)
' --> all OK the istance of the object is correctly created
retval = test.function1(par1, par2 ...)
' --> as soon as I call every function of my com object the system returns
the following error: 0x8000FFFF: catastrophic failure.
I do not know why
I have encountered a serious prob this morning while connecting to my site which is driven by MySQL.
The error mssg that I am receiving is:
Provider error '8000ffff'
Catastrophic failure
/awebsite/includes/connection.asp, line 4
Which is pointing to my connection string. Now I know the values haven't changed in the script or on the server.
I can connect from MySQLYog with the same values so I'm thinking that the server people have upgraded something and forgot to tell myself. I have already tried to contact them but as of yet no reply.
Just incase anyone asks here's my connection string with the username and password changed (obviously):
I have an Intranet-based app at work, and I have it in two places there: a dev machine and a production box. In both cases, the ASP files and SQL Server 2000 database are on the same box. I have it running smoothly in both places at work.
However, I've been trying to set it up at home, and cannot make the SQL Server connection work for some reason. I've been working on this off and on for weeks, and I just don't get what I am missing. Code:
i found out that by default, ASP apps can only access files that are on the computerthat the server runs on. how can i change this so the IIS will take the files off the client's computer?
I am trying to do a very simple piece of asp on a w2k3 server on the company intranet where i work (using IIS 6) the code is simply trying to get an xml stream via a ServerHTTPRequest.
The code I have works absolutely fine, I have tested it on a free asp friendly server on the net and it does exactly what i want it to! however when I run the code on the company intranet I get hit with the following problem.... Code:
I use the method below to send emails from an asp page that's part of a web application:
<!--METADATA TYPE="typelib" UUID="CD000000-8B95-11D1-82DB-00C04FB1625D" NAME="CDO for Windows 2000 Library" --> <% On error Resume Next Dim cdoConfig, cdoMessage
Set cdoConfig = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Configuration") With cdoConfig.Fields .Item(cdoSendUsingMethod) = 2 .Item(cdoSMTPServer) = "MailServer.Name.com" .Item(cdoSMTPServerPort) = 25 .Update End With Set cdoMessage = Server.CreateObject("CDO.Message") With cdoMessage Set .Configuration = cdoConfig .From = "Me<mailsender@mymail.com>" .To = "You<mailrecipient@somemail.com>" .Subject = "Surprise!" .TextBody = "Helloooo..." .Send
If err.number Then Response.Write("Houston! We have a problem...") End If End With Set cdoMessage = Nothing Set cdoConfig = Nothing %>
On the production server (Windows 2003 Server) everything works fine and I don't have a problem sending the mails from the application. However, I recently upgraded my development box to Windows XP Pro SP2 and the code fails with with the following error:
CDO.Message.1 (0x80040213) The transport failed to connect to the server.
The from and to email addresses that I'm using are valid and part of my domain (not a Hotmail or other freemail address).
The SMTP service is up and running on the dev box.
I also tried replacing the mail server name with the IP address of the mail server, but again it's failing.
We are running Exchange Server for email and if I change the cdoSendUsingMethod to 3 (for cdoSendUsingExchange) the mail is sent correctly without errors.
Will I not able to use the cdoSendUsingPort method to send the email if I'm on Exchange? Am I forced to use cdoSendUsingExchange?
Anyone got much of a clue how best to send emails to selected people from a database table and to be able to track them, maybe as much as a read receipt, or perhaps just checking that they don't bounce, or end up in the bad mail folder.
Is this best/possible to try and code or is there a free/cheap component that does this simply.
I'm having a bit of trouble with an ASP form that I'm maintaining. Someone else wrote it and I'm new to CDO objects. I have a CDO.Message and a CDO.Configuration.
I set up the configuraton fields for the port and smtp server's ip address to be used. The configuration property of the message is set to be the new configuration object.
Then there's a ton of stuff appending bits and pieces to the text body.
Finally we have the message's Send method being called. That's where it breaks.
It seemed to just stop working one day. When I submit the form, the message returned is simply:
error '8004020f'
I know from the MSDN website that this error code means 'Failure in obtaining user token.' What I don't know is how to fix it!
