Hi John,

From the looks of the mail components that your server passes on, it is highly likely that your server requires SMTP authentication to be set up for email to work.

The diag_dbtest.asp script will report a success message if the mail component is installed, however it does not check whether the email was actually delivered. If SMTP authentication is required on your server, no email will be delivered and the script will continue to check to see whether the next mailing component exists on your server.

Try adding your email username and password information into the shop$config.asp file which should then allow your server to send the test.

See the following helpnote for more information on resolving mail issues.

Cheers,

Thanks Michael

I added the email username and password to shop$config.asp
here
const xmailusername = "" 'If you are using CDOSYS as your email system it requires a username, enter it here
const xmailpassword = "" 'If you are using CDOSYS as your email system it requires a password, enter it here
but the emails from diag_dbtest.asp did not arrive.
---------------------------------------------------------
I followed the instructions at
http://helpnotes.vpasp.com/shopexd.asp?id=209#209

and changed the lines to
'on error resume next
'If getconfig("xdebug")="Yes" then
Debugwrite "to=" & my_to & "(" & my_toaddress &") from=" & my_from &"("& my_fromaddress &")"
debugwrite "attachments=" & orderattachmentcount
debugwrite body
'end if

However when I tried to send the email via diag_dbtest.asp I get
the following error
Server object, ASP 0177 (0x800401F3)
Invalid class string
/articlenowvpasp/shopmail.asp, line 34

quote:
The article mentions xemailsystem in VP-ASP Shop Configuration
but I cannot find xemailsystem in shop$config.asp

Many emails come through my server to which I have access so I am not clear what is meant by your server requires SMTP authentication to be set up for email to work.
Perhaps you could explain

Thanks again
John

if you go into the setup tab in vpasp admin, then do a search on a config option:

%mail%

you'll see most of the relevant options (ie some settings like the userid/pwd are in the shop$config.asp file, other settings are in the database via the site-setup tab)

Server object, ASP 0177 (0x800401F3)
Invalid class string
/articlenowvpasp/shopmail.asp, line 34
Any ideas

not sure if this'll fix your particular problem but try this:

Edit the file "shopmail.asp" in a raw text editor such as notepad, and locate the following string:
(it will be about 10 lines down)

'my_system=getconfig("xemailsystem")

Delete that line and replace it with:

' BYZ: 04-MAR-2007: Added variable declaration and uncommented setting
Dim my_system
my_system=getconfig("xemailsystem")

ie it might be that it's simply not picking up the correct "system"

Sorry to be so long in answering.

I changed that line you supplied but still get an error.
Server object, ASP 0177 (0x800401F3)
Invalid class string
/articlenowvpasp/shopmail.asp, line 36

The server does require SMTP authentication can you say where this should be placed?
Cheers
John

I renewed shopmail.asp and it worked.
In fact now I am getting three notification emails for one submission!
Wonder why?

From what I can see in the version of shopmail.asp that I've got, userids/pwds are only used in:

JMAIL
JMAIL43
CDOSYS

Also, not all of those types are using the same settings; some are using the Xemailuserid and xemailpassword settings in the site-setup tab (ie the database config options), whilst other types are using the settings from the shop$config.asp file.

So, you'd need to set both of those options in the setup-tab in admin, as well as in shop$config.asp, and then use one of the mail-types mentioned above

I am obviously doing this all wrong.

In the setup tab in shop$config.asp
I selected jmail from the drop down list
===================
In shop$config.asp I entered similar
const xmailusername = "[email protected]" 'If you are using CDOSYS as your email system it requires a username, enter it here
const xmailpassword = "password" 'If you are using CDOSYS as your email system it requires a password, enter it here.
===================
Inshopmail entered email details at line 92
If ucase(Mailtype) = "JMAIL" Then
Set Mailer = Server.CreateObject("JMail.SMTPMail")
if err.number<> 0 then
mailerror= getlang("langmailerror") & " " & mailtype
HandleMailError mailerror
exit sub
end if
Mailer.ServerAddress = my_system
If getconfig("xemailpassword")<>"password" then
mailer.mailserverpassword=getconfig("xemailpassword")
end if
if getconfig("Xemailuserid")<>"[email protected]" then
mailer.mailserverusername=getconfig("xemailuserid")
end if

But I still get the 3 emails.

Is there something I should comment out perhaps?
