formmail

[lib]

well i'm sure that this is a repeat topic, so sorry about that, but i just cannot get it to work!

i have gotten scripts to work just fine on other servers but i have been trying to get a contact form on my personal site for quite sometime now, and cannot succeed. i have the economy plan @ godaddy w. asp/windows. is this the problem? I have tried several scripts...brainjar's and now working with the one @ geocel. The latest error is:

Server object error 'ASP 0177 : 800401f3'
Server.CreateObject Failed
/ASPFormMail.asp, line 113
800401f3
:confused: :confused:
i don't know what i'm doing please help!

thanks,
lindsey

we'll probably need code samples to help you - i.e. what's happening on line 113? i'd post the code (at least several dozen lines previous to line 113 including line 113, indicating which one is line 113 so that we will know specifically where its breaking) for us to see - and we might be able to give you a better idea what's going on. its impossible to say at this point.

Welcome to DP by the way! I hope you find the answers you seek.

Please post the codes to let us see, otherwise no way to tell what's wrong. You could be using a third party component that's not available on the server.

[lib]

SendMail();

%>

<%
function SendMail() {
DM = Server.CreateObject('Geocel.Mailer');

/*
* If the above line fails, run the following from the
* the command line 'C:\>' - REGSVR32.EXE DVMAILER.DLL
*/

I don't think you have the possibility to register a dll on godaddy economy plan and if dll is not registered it won't work.

I don't think you have the possibility to register a dll on godaddy economy plan and if dll is not registered it won't work.

when i ran command and did the registration thingy it worked but you are probably right. i don't fully understand what a dll is can someone break it down for me?

also, does this mean i am s.o.l.?

'Geocel.Mailer' is a dll component that you are trying to use to send emails from your ASP script. Unfortunately this dll is not available on the server.

Unfortunately again, this dll may not be widely available on hosting servers.

The other option is to use CDONTS to send emails. If this is also not enabled, then please ask your hosting provider what email sending components they support. They will be glad to help you.
