Hi, I'm having trouble installing the .NET version of WebMail.
The install runs through to the database setup page, I enter my MySQL database details, but when I click 'test connection', I just get the following error message:
Connect unsuccessful!: Internal Server Error. Please, contact your system administrator in order to report the problem.
There is nothing in the event log for this error. I've tested the database connection settings and they're fine. How can I find out what the actual error is?
Thanks,
Chris.

make sure you have the Mysql odbc connector installed.

Thanks for the link, but surely if I type in the MySQL connection details I shouldn't need ODBC?
I guess I could use ODBC instead - if only it would work! I just downloaded the connector and it isn't showing up when I try to add it to my ODBC Data Sources. Really odd.

The thing is, you'll need ODBC Connector to access MySQL from ASP.NET application, even if you don't use ODBC access directly. Thus, make sure that the connector is installed (version 3.51 is highly recommended, newer versions might not work in some cases), fill in the fields (username/password/hostname/database) and hopefully this will do the trick.

Well, it looks like I'm getting there :)
My server is the 64-bit version of Windows 2008, so I had to install the latest 64-bit data connector.
However, from a technical standpoint, the code seems to use the MySQL .NET connector. ASP.NET doesn't need ODBC if you're using the .NET connector.
Why have an option to leave ODBC greyed out if you actually need it?
