I tried to install this mod (Mikes File Attachment MOD Version: 3.4.xx ) http://www.snitzbitz.com/mods/details.asp?Version=All&mid=67

I tried to upload one file and I have following error:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0005' 

Invalid procedure call or argument 

/2004/v_01/forum/outputFile.asp, line 55


OutputFile.asp is placed in root of the forum directory.

Please help.

I am still learning.
Sorry for my stupid questions (sometimes) and bad English.

Hans, in order to use this mod (or most other file attach mods), your server must have FSO (FileSystemObject) enabled, and the directory you are using (subfolder variable) must be writable to the public. These are both settings that need to be done on the server, but most hosting companies make these available. However, you may have to request FSO to be enabled (usually already is enabled), and you will definately have to request the subfolder directory to be given write permission.

If you haven't already requested the write permission, as required in the readme file, do that first, then check for errors.

I tried to create the text file in the folder what needed and that works.
I used this code to create text field file and this was successful:

<%
Const ForReading = 1, ForWriting = 2, ForAppending = 8
set fso = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
set objSoubor = fso.OpenTextFile(server.MapPath(".") & "/mycreatedfile.txt",ForWriting,True,0)
response.Write(server.MapPath("."))
%>

Please help me with installing this MOD.
The FSO is enabled, what shall I do next?

hans, I don't know what the problem is - if you have write access and fso enabled, the file should work. I think your test in the past post proves you have fso and write access enabled, so I'm not sure what else could be wrong. Many people have used this mod without trouble, so it must be something you changed in the file, but I can't find it.

One possibility - you are testing this in a test directory, right? Did you get write permissions turned on for both the production location and the test location of your upload folder? The error is occurring when it is trying to write to a file, so it is acting like the write permissions are not present. Perhaps you tested flashmedia.cz/upload/ instead of flashmedia.cz/test/upload/ or something similar?

I tried to make another test and I have still the same error.
If I try make upload, click the icon for uploading on post.asp page.
Than I choose some e.g. JPG file from my PC as image here:



Than I have message Wait uploading image...
And after some seconds i recieve this message in upload window:



On the serve I see only piece of uploaded file. That means I can write here, but is in a while interrupted.
Upload dir on the server:


Why?

The issue might be lag during the upload. Try disabling antivirus and/or firewall before uploading to see if the problem is there.

Thank you.
I tried it (without firewall and AV), but the same problem is still there.
I am really helpless.

Try setting the ScriptTimeout adding
Server.ScriptTimeout = 90 ' default timeout
to output file at the end just before the %> sign setting the value as hight as you need.
It could work, but the value is often set from the server, so you can ask to your hosting.
Another issue could be the speed of your connection.
(that is assuming the files and dir permmission all right!)

I tried in the meantime test on local pc.
The problem ist the same.
On localhost should work it normally isn´t it?
It creates folder with name of user as per usual, and than writes only a few bytes and than I have the same error as on the webserver.
I think, the error must be somewhere out of internet connection.

You can try it also here http://flashmedia.cz/2004/v_01/forum/post.asp?method=Reply&TOPIC_ID=190&FORUM_ID=1
Login is user: demo pw: demo
And than click on Insert an Image File and see what´s occured.
Thank you.

Yes there is an error, and i cannot see why...
The lines are
For i = 1 to LenB(value)
MyFile.Write chr(AscB(MidB(value,i,1)))
Next
and the function chr isn't recognize..
If the title file is written dir permission would be ok... but if you have done all the changes in files it could be a server error...

I tested it locally (Win XP Proff., SP 2, IE 6.0 ) on original files of Snitz forum 3.4.05 and I have still the same error on outputFile.asp, line 55.
Has somebody any idea, where could be the problem please?
Thank you in advance.
