For the life of me I can't figure this out... I asked my Host about setting up CDONTS and this is the response ... How /or can I incorperate this into the forum to make it work. ************************************** Hello: Thank you for letting us know. We have installed a new ftp account in our another server that support CDONTS for you.
Server IP : 64.xx.xx.xx user name: planetxxxxxx password: xxxxxxx
You can upload your CDONTS code to there. You have to change your email form action code to <action="http://64.xx.xx.xx/planetxxxxxx/YourCDONTS.asp"> and add redirect to your web page at last line of YourCDONTS.asp to make sure back to your web page after implement the CDONTS.
If you have anymore questions please let us know. Thanks
Best Regards *******************************************
Ok since they have a seperate FTP for CDONT code is it possible or am I "S.O.L." on getting this to work.
Second, you can not use HTTP Protocol on an FTP Server. I suggest that you download the CDONTS test script from Snitz site and then run it. it will tell you if CDONTS is installed on your account (HTTP).
Actually FTP and HTTP can be on the same server and have the same IP(Both have access to the same folders and files), otherwise how could you upload your web pages with FTP if they both couldn't access the same files?
The just want a redirect to this other server (specifically set up just for CDONTS) with the .ASP code that is to send the mail and then redirect back to my main site.
I've seen many website that include pages from other website servers so it should be possible but I don't know how to do it or even if the way the code is written if it will allow it.
I agree with you that FTP and HTTP can run on the same server and IP, but each runs on a differnt port. So if you are to access your FTP sever from your HTTP sever you must enter the full path ftp://yourdomain.com/filename.XXX. Now back to the original issue, did you install the file from my previous link http://forum.snitz.com/archive/redirect.asp?linkid=36
Some ISP's refer to an account without any dialup access as an FTP account.
It sounds to me like your site is on a computer with a non-NT os that doesn't support asp email components, and to solve this your host set up a special account for you on an NT box with the mail component installed. The problem will be how to use this account for mail, without quite a bit of recoding I don't know how you'll accomplish it.
Better would be a host where you can instantiate an email object on the same computer as the rest of the code.
Mafifi- Yes I've run the script before and it says: CDONTS: installed! Chili!Mail: installed!
OK I tried it, says message sent, but never recieve an e-mail. Thats when I asked my webhost and got that cryptic message
Doug- The server is a Win2000 server. I'll get back with the webhost support, maybe the person that responded was just clueless and didn't know how to check and make sure it was set up properly on my server.
