Mail Form Help

[Starky]

Hey All ...

I used to use this mail form before ... it used to work without any problems until my host "godaddy" upgraded to II7. Now it only gets a "505 Internal service error" ...

I don't know anything about programming or debugging, I only know few things about html ... So if anyone can help it's verrrrrrrrry much appreciated ... Thank you in advance ...

That's the script ...

If you try this form page using Firefox (for example, rather than IE) do you see a proper error message? If not then you'll need to get GoDaddy to check their server logs and advise the real error message.

Thank you so much for replying Ian ...

Upon your advice I tried: Explorer / Firefox / Opera / Chrome / Safari
The Message Displayed:
"500 - Internal server error.
There is a problem with the resource you are looking for, and it cannot be displayed."

Godaddy support replied: (But I truly don't know where to insert the code they sent or what is the web.config)

"This error indicates an issue with your web.config file or website scripting. We advise that you use the following information to enable custom errors which will make the browser provide additional error details that can be used to troubleshoot the issue. By default, our Windows hosting servers display a generic error when any .NET application generates an exception. We display a generic error because the detailed error messages allow a malicious user to obtain sensitive information. To troubleshoot the error, you can modify your web.config file and specify that a custom error message displays. A custom error message helps you to locate the specific code that is causing the issue."

Enabling Custom Error Messages on IIS 7

Use the sample code below to display custom error messages on IIS 7:

<configuration>
    <system.webServer>
        <httpErrors errorMode="Detailed" />
        <asp scriptErrorSentToBrowser="true"/>
    </system.webServer>
    <system.web>
        <customErrors mode="Off"/>
        <compilation debug="true"/>
    </system.web>
</configuration>

OK. If your code previously worked correctly (before the server change) then this tells us that this is a server configuration issue - maybe the CDO email component has not been loaded on the new server? Or user account details for emails have changed? The only way of determining this is to find the real error message.

The fact you get the 500 error with other browsers means that it is the web server configuration that is sending a general error. This is not unusual with default IIS7 installs.

The web.config file is something that relates to .NET technology, not classic ASP. I believe the web.config file is stored in your server webroot folder, but I have no idea whether the code provided would work to send ASP error messages to the browser - ASP does not use the .NET framework at all. However it wouldn't hurt to try - just copy the code shown into a text editor and save it as web.config; upload this file to your website's main (root) folder.

Good luck!
