ASP?!? Linux?!? Server?!?

[[JK]Brigand]

Ok, heres the deal. I have a website at www.clanjk.com . It uses ASP and so I've downloaded and installed the ASP WebPost system and uploaded it here www.clanjk.com/WebPost . It only works because I've edited the origonal code and changed it so that it does not access the w3 sockets.

In the instructions it tells me to install w3 Sockets onto the TS server. But the TS server is on a linux machine and so the w3 Sockets won't work for it.

Or maybe it meant install the w3 sockets on the websites server. I'm confused!

I belive that you have misunderstod the instructions.
w3 socket are a component for the IIS server (webserver). The component are used to connect to the TS server.

So no need to get pissed off because of a little misunderstanding.

Brigand, Your web site is hosted on a Windows 2000 server, running IIS 5.0. I'm sure you're already aware of this. You also stated that your TS server is hosted on a UNIX box.

Webpost has nothing to do with what machine TS is hosted on. I'm assuming you have the correct PostURL in your ini file pointing to the correct place. Because I'm seeing it listed on the link you provided.

The W3 socket component is for remotely connecting to your TS server, based from the info(IP) that the PostURL data that is sent. Basically, it allows WebPost to telnet to your TS server, and poll the data live from the TS server.

I don't know who your hosting company is, but you'll need to contact them to find out what IIS components, if any, you have access to. Chances are, they won't install any for you, so you're stuck with what they have. Just tell them you need some sort of TCP socket component for IIS. They should provide you with the answer you're looking for.

Hope this helps.
