I have used RTE for a few years and have not had any problems I wasn't able to get working but now I have moved an existing site to a new hosting company that I have used in the past and my RTE does not work. I hadn't noticed until after I uploaded my site that they had stopped using windows server and went to all linux with chilisoft. Now when I go to my page with the RTE I get the following error:

HTTP Error 507

507 Unexpected

The Web server encountered an unexpected error while communicating with the ASP service.

Please contact the server's administrator if this problem persists.

I even tried installing the most recent version but I still get the same error. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Scott

The RTE will not run on Linux as ASP needs Windows IIS to run.

A few projects did start over the years such as ChilliSoft to try and support ASP on Linux, but they were never completed and rarely work.

Actually, I finally got the page to work. I copied it from my windows server but it turned out not to the RTE causing the error. It was another of my form elements. It took a lot of removing and adding but I narried it down and retyped it and it worked. I don't know the error was but it appears to be working now.
