I am trying to use the MailBee SMTP object, but get the following error.

Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0241'

CreateObject Exception

<MY ASP PAGE>

The CreateObject of '(null)' caused exception C0000005.

Server object error 'ASP 0177 : c0000005'

Server.CreateObject Failed

<MY ASP PAGE>, line 185

c0000005

I registered MailBee.dll on my webserver. All I am suppose to do is register it via RegSrv32.exe correct.

Thanks for your help.

Sincerely,
Shannon

Does the problem disappear after reboot of the server? IIS has known issues with not freeding objects when they are not closed explicitly.

E.g. if you have this page:

<%
Set obj = Server.CreateObject("someobj")
...
%>

or this:

<%
Set obj = Server.CreateObject("someobj")
...
Response.Redirect "another_page.asp"
%>

it may start to fail at unexpected time. Often, the problem appears when ASP app uses Reponse.Redirect, Server.Transfer, etc.

To preserve this, always manually free all objects created on the page before leaving the page:

<%
Set obj = Server.CreateObject("someobj")
...
Set obj = Nothing
%>

or:

<%
Set obj = Server.CreateObject("someobj")
...
Set obj = Nothing
Response.Redirect "another_page.asp"
%>

If the problem still here after server reboot, this is quite another matter. Do you use MailBee's ValidateEmailAddress function with your code?

If so, please make sure to explicitly specify DNS server name (because some Windows builds have problems with autodetection of DNS server:

Msg.ValidateEmailAddress("to@domain.com", 1, "192.168.0.100")

192.168.0.100 is address of DNS server (as from 'ipconfig /all' output in the command line).

Please let us know the outcome.

Alex

Alex,

Thanks for reply. I uninstalled MailBee, rebooted the server, reinstalled MailBee, and then rebooted the server.

I then re-registered the DLL using RegSvr32.

Now I get the following error:
----------------
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01b6'

Object doesn't support this property or method: 'LicenseKey'
----------------


Thanks,
Shannon

Code:

dim oMailer

' Create SMTP object
Set oMailer = Server.CreateObject("MailBee.SMTP")

' Set the license key
oMailer.LicenseKey = "MYTEMPLICENSEKEY"



MYTEMPLICENSEKEY = the temporary license that was emailed to me when I downloaded MailBee SMTP this morning.

Thanks,
Shan

M-m-m, probably, something is still registered incorrectly. Maybe, you tried to unistall MailBee BEFORE rebooting. This can fail because rebooting (or 'iisreset' in command line) is required to make proper unistall possible. If unistall made before rebooting, it won't proceed properly because IIS caches all the components used, and they won't be deleted.

So, let's try this:
- 'iisreset' in command line
- uninstall MailBee with installer (if you registered manually, using regsvr32, unregister it with 'regsvr32 -u' first)
- make sure MailBee.dll disappeared from hard drive (if not, some app still locks it)
- install MailBee again
- try to execute on the server the VBS (not ASP) file with the following contents:

Set Mailer = CreateObject("MailBee.SMTP")
Mailer.LicenseKey = "whatever"

- the previous step will tell us whether it works under Windows, not ASP. If it does not work too, the problem is not related to ASP/IIS

- now try your ASP page. If it doesn't work (but VBS file worked out), probably there is a permission issue.

Alex

Alex,

Thank you so much. I just followed your re-install steps and now my script works! :)
