sendmail problem with ASP

Hmm .
>>Set regEx = New RegExp   'THIS IS LINE 64
This is supported only in VBScript engine 5 and up. Whats teh version of your IE ? Thats should alse be 5 and up.

Try downloading VBScript engine 5 from here
http://msdn.microsoft.com/scripting/

I sometimes get simillar, but not the same, error messages with code that has worked fine for long periods then suddenly stops working.  I have found that often DLL components sometimes unregister for whatever reason.

I would certainly try reregistering your component.  Do you knwo how do do this and what the name of the DLL is that goes with this line (which I am assuming is line 64)

Set Mailer = Server.CreateObject ("smtpsvg.mailer")

Hope this helps, if I'm wrong this wont do any harm so worth a go as it only takes a minute.

Dave

Oops I just saw you told us what line 64 is so just forget all by rubbish!

Dave

OK, first I don't understad why I'd need an IE version 5 and up. (by the way, I'm using IE 5.5) This code is working on the server end, and it tells the server to connect to our mail server and send an email.
I already registered the Set Mailer = Server.CreateObject ("smtpsvg.mailer") at the beginning of the code by the way.

By register I mean in DOS:

regsvr32 DllName.DLL When in the same folder that the DLL is in.

You dont need IE of any kind as you say this runs on the server as you say.

Dave

daveamour, the code runs on a web hosting company and is designed to run on IIS windows 2000. I think you have a point though, cause MS' web site something similar.
but do I need to register a .dll for the regex too?
If that .dll is not registered properly on the web host, wouldn't they face similar problems with people using regex?
and how do I register the stuff?
thanks.

I dont know anything about Regex I'm afraid.  If it is a Com+ object thought then it may be experiencing registration problems and it could be worth checking with your ISP if this is the case.

Dave

RegExp() is a portion of the VB5 Scripting Engine, it is installed on the server, any .dll's associated with the RegExp() call are registered at this time.

IE is not an issue unless you are running the RegExp client-side.

It is quite possiible that it is time to update your script engine, 5.5 is stable, 5.6 is still in beta.  http://www.microsoft.com/msdownload/vbscript/scripting.asp

IIS on WIn2k should be fine.
Did it work before on the web hosting companys server ?  Because the web hosting companies sometime do not allow FSO, becuase of teh security reason you could read/write their drive. So check with the web server company whether they allow using File system object

Good point JIT... I ran into this in the past with one of those "cheapy hosts..."

See this link. There could be a problem with the security of the registry.

P.S.  For any year 2000 questions, special attention is needed to ensure the first correct response is awarded, since they are not in the comment date order, but rather in Member ID order.

I found the following online info. that seemed relevant, but didn't solve my problem. I thank all the experts for the help, but since my problem still persists wish to close the question.

http://brinkster.com/forums/forummessage.asp?id=28415&Forum=2

Has the added information helped you here?
Moondancer - EE Moderator

no, it didn't. even though the error message numbers are the same, my problem is with creating the RegExp object.

Post your RegExp code.

I have used RegExp quite extensively in many .asp files, here is a simple example;

Dim objRegEx, Match, Matches, StrReturnStr
Set objRegEx = New RegExp
objRegEx.Global = True
objRegEx.IgnoreCase = True
objRegEx.Pattern = "~[^/]*"
Set Matches = objRegEx.Execute(strPhrase)
'count = 0
For Each Match in Matches

     theStr = Match.value
     theStr = Replace(theStr, "~", "")
     Response.Write theStr
Next

the problem is with the regexp component. It worked fine, and then due to a problem with our web hosting company -some upgrade or something- (which they constantly refuse), it just doesn't work anymore. when i comment out the new regexp, things work fine.

Well, since you have already answered your question, why are you not thumping the Hosting Co. for answers.

What happens when you run this code?

<%
sString = "this is link1, link2 and link3"
Response.Write "Search string:" &sString

Set RegX = NEW RegExp
SearchPattern = "link"
RegX.Pattern = SearchPattern
RegX.Global = True
ReplacedText = RegX.Replace(sString, "a"&RegX.Pattern)

Response.Write "<p>New String: "&ReplacedText
%>

Are we done here?  Too much time passes, kushcu, before you respond; please remain active in "your" questions.
Moondancer - EE Moderator

Yeah were done...

I suggest docking kushcu 150 for jit, dave, astaec and myself... :-|

I agree with point splits, but have asked our Administrator for a second opinion here as well.
Thanks a lot, as always, for responding and helping, Mark.

Well if this sort of thing is known, that it CAN be done, a lesson on running away with the answer, perhaps so many will not be tempted again.  

I did send an email, that he was getting low on points, and had best take care of his questions, the Experts did their part, so can the Users.

Kind regards all,

150 for jit, dave, astaec and myself.

You all are welcome, as all points have now been picked up, this question is now in PAQ as answered.

Thanks all,

CT  :>

I'm not running away with my question points, and I reply to every message ASAP if I believe they will lead to somewhere. Check the dates on my postings, and is it my fault that I surfed the web and found an answer within the following month or so about the question?

I have some other questions open, and I really don't care about the points. I do give points if they show me the way. (only showing the way is enough, please refer to my other questions.)
 
Honestly, most of the answers were about client side problems, and it doesn't help a lot when the question is about the server side. ComTech, if you waited for a day before closing the question, I could have given the points to the answer that's relevant to the question.

Finally, I had no intention or whatever to take the experts' time, and run away with the points. I don't want to be cheap, I'll keep this in mind next time, and will definitely give points to someone. I thank you all for taking your time and responding to the question.
