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. |

1. Just overwrite the old files. 2. Not really sure the problem, check with your hosting company, it could be a problem with the email address you are trying to send to. ------------- https://www.webwiz.net/web-wiz-forums/forum-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - Web Wiz Forums Hosting https://www.webwiz.net/web-hosting/windows-web-hosting.htm" rel="nofollow - ASP.NET Web Hosting |

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", 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. |

You need to re-enter the details of your SQL server into the SQL_server_conection.asp file in the admin area.

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. |
