Hi,

I am trying to install the current version of snitz on my web host's Window 2000 server (selecting the access 2000 database type). I have installed all the components, double checking the database link in config.asp using whereami.asp, but when i try to run the forum at http://www.cultscreens.co.uk/forums i get the following error:

Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0116'

Missing close of script delimiter

/forums/inc_mail.asp, line 1

The Script block lacks the close of script tag (%>).

I hope someone can help me!

Thanks in advance.

Yes - it's the opening tag that it refers to, and there is a closing tag later in the script

Review any files you have edited. ASP server-side code is delimited by a <% .. $> pair of tags and it sounds like you zapped one-half of a set in a file somewhere. The distributed code doesn't have any delimiters missing.

Doug meant <%...%>

Try re-uploading your inc_mail.asp file. It might have gotten corrupted or damaged during upload.

Hi,

Thanks for the help, but unfortunately it hasn't worked. I hadn't changed anything in the inc_mail.asp file, but have uploaded it again, to no avail!

I'll try downloading the files again.

Nope - downloaded another set of files, but same problem. I've only changed config.asp to point at the database - but it stills comes up with the error:

Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0116'

Missing close of script delimiter

/forums/inc_mail.asp, line 1

The Script block lacks the close of script tag (%>).

I haven't changed the inc_mail.asp file at all - I'm confused!!!

Hi,

Thanks for any help you could get - I'm pretty bambozled!!

The last 10 lines of inc_subscription.asp are as follows:

strMessage = strMessage & "You can view the posting at " & strForumURL & "link.asp?TOPIC_ID=" & TopicId & vbNewline
%>
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="inc_mail.asp" -->
<%
rsLoop.MoveNext
loop
rsLoop.Close
set rsLoop = nothing
end sub
%>

I hope this will help resolve the problem!

Cheers,

Ian

Usually an error like this occurs when the file is corrupted some how.
Did you upload in ASCII or Binary mode? Try uploading the file in Binary mode. Make sure to delete the file first from your server. Also make sure you are not using Frontpage to edit or upload your file.

So you got it fixed?
It seems you deleted all your forum files from your forum folder.
