I got it working.  I opened the backed up copy of SQL_server_connection.asp in notepad, looked at my old settings, then edited the same file from the new version and it came right up.

Thanks again for all your effort.

Do I have to do something else besides just overwrite the files?  When I unzip the files for the new version over my existing files, then go to my forums, I get a "page cannot be displayed",

  • Error Type:
    Microsoft OLE DB Provider for SQL Server (0x80004005)
    Invalid authorization specification
    /forum/common.asp, line 260

    (Thank goodness I backed up my forums directory first.)

    • I copied my backup directory back to the original location and the server came right back up.

    Thanks for any other ideas.

    Thanks.  I'll get the update downloaded and installed.

    Question 1:  I am running the 7.6 SQL version of WWF.  Can I just download and install the 7.7 over the top?  I have no mods.  Should I back anything up before the updagrade?

     

    Quesiton 2: I am using the built in IIS SMTP server on same server I run my WWF and website.  The SMTP works fine for all other programs, except WWF.  I have my settings as "CDOSYS" and "rickenbacker.mydomain.com" for the smtp server.  I have retested my SMTP using a Telnet session and I do received the email externally, but when WWF tries to send an email, it fails and the event log shows:

    "Message delivery to the remote domain 'mydomain.com' failed for the following reason: Unable to deliver the message because the destination address was misconfigured as a mail loop."

    Any ideas?  I love this program, but I just cannot get the email portion to work with WWF.  Thanks for all your efforts.
