FMU 6.0, Web Companion, ASP,XML

[bongman]

Hello there

we developed a web application in our dev system using the following:

1. FMU 6.0 with web companion enable

2. NT 4 server IIS4.0

3. ASP scripts calling XML objects

The application is working perfectly...but then...

Our Customer environment:

1. FMU 6.0 with web companion enable

2. Win2K SP3 Server with IIS5.0

3. ASP scripts calling XML objects

With the same scripts and databases but this time the XML/ASP codes does not work anymore.

Any help will be greatly appreciated ...

Cheers

What happens? Can you make any calls directly to the database from a browser; even with Instant Web Publishing?

Good Luck.

Yes i can browse my databases using web companion and a web browser e.g. http://ipaddress:8080 - ipaddress is of the fm machine.

i can also retrieve records using direct xml scripts using the browser

e.g. http://ipaddress:8080/FMPro?-db=MyDatabase_DB.fp5&-format=-fmp_xml&-op=eq&LoginName=user1&-op=eq&Password=userpassword&-op=eq&Status='A'&-lop=and&-find

It returns the correct record with error code = 0 (no errors).

The problem is that my ASP codes does not see the returned values therefore it is telling my application that the user or password is invalid.

This is all well and working on our NT4 IIS4.0 server. Somehow there must be something breaking it when we run it on a Win2K SP3 IIS5.0 server.

Hope to hear from you soon.

Cheers mate,

G'day Bongman,

I'm not sure what has changed with ASP on IIS5. What ASP/VBScript functions are you using to access the database? What platform is FMU running on?

Hiya Garry

We are using this XML object

set objXMLDoc = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")

we tried running FMU on a windows machine and ona Mac OS9 machine. The same problem. I also have rebuilt the win2k at 4 times already using various levels of service packs.

It is still working on our NT4 IIS 4 server which is really baffling the hell out of me...

thanks in advance for your help...

cheers

Hey Garry

I fixed it already. It was a setting on IIS 5.0 which defaults to a different settings on IIS4.0 it is called the Application Protection Level.

Anyways many thanks for your help. Now is the time to open that cold beer, and i'll drink an extra one for you...

Cheers mate
