I'm a bit confused about how to start the installation procedure. The Readme.txt file says to '5 ) Point your browser to http://yourdomain/install/'.  When I do this, however, I get an access denied error because there is no default.aspx or other autorun file.

Your forum post at 'http://mailyoulike.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=87&PN= 1' says to 'Then point your browser towards the virtual directory [ http://yourdomian.com/yourvirtualdirectory/ ]'  All this does is cause an application error '[DBNETLIB][ConnectionOpen (Connect()).]SQL Server does not exist or access denied.'  The exception is caused by this line -

Line 43:         c_key.check_key_valid(c_key.get_key("",session("constr")))

Am I missing something????

I'm using WinXP, MS SQL - I've created the database and modified the config.aspx file to this:

<%
...

'=========================================================== ======================
' Set the name of virtual folder under which you will install  Mail You Like
'=========================================================== ======================
vfolder = "/webmail"

...

'=====================================
'set the  database type (dbtype)
'1   access
'2   MS SQL
'====================================
dbtype = 2

...

'=========================================================== =====
' if  dbtype = 2 (MSSQL)  then  define the following variables
'=========================================================== =====

'=============================
'Your MSSQL server name(IP) is :
'=============================
sComputerNAme = "192.168.100.xx"

'================
'Database name :
'================
sDBName = "myl"

'==============================
'Username for MSSQL server is :
'==============================
sUserName = "xxxxxx"

'==============================
'Password for MSSQL server is :
'==============================
sPassword = "xxxxxxxx"

...

%>

Hi,

I’ve narrowed the issue down to the connection string.

I modified the default.aspx script to dump the session(“constr”) variable to the screen.  This is what was returned:

Provider=SqlOLEDB;Network Library=DBMSSOCN; Data Source=192.168.100.xx; Initial Catalog=myl;User Id=xxxxxx;Password=xxxxxxxx ;

I successfully connected to the database using this connection string from within VB .NET 2002:

Provider=SqlOLEDB;Data Source=192.168.100.xx; Initial Catalog=myl;User Id=xxxxxx;Password=xxxxxxxx ;

So my questions are:

1. what is ‘Network Library=DBMSSOCN’?


2. why is it in the connection string?


3. do I need it?


4. and how can I get rid of it?

You can see the error for yourself by going here http://www.glowe-ware.ca/webmail/  or here http://webmail.glowe-ware.ca/

Hi !

'Network Library=DBMSSOCN'. is optional . some server require that and some do not . if you can run mailyoulike with out it with no porblem then remove it
