API download

[kevin@wine.co.za]

In hmail 4.x I used the great API to manage passwords, vacation messages etc.
But can find no reference to an API for 5.x

Is there an API - and if so, can someone please point me at it ?

Thanks

docs are a wonderful thing.

And there were significant changes in the API from 4.X to 5.X

Sorry guys - I am still missing something

In 4.x I needed to download a com wrapper that I could use in asp.net ( Interop.hMailServer.dll) and then happily made the API calls once this was in my bin folder / referenced in Visual Studio - but I see no-where to download a version for 5.x

Is there something similar for 5.x?
Or what do I need to do to reference hMailServer.Application in my project ?

In 4.x I needed to download a com wrapper that I could use in asp.net

Really?
What specific version of hMailserver 4.X was that?
I started about 8 years ago with 4.2 I think, and I don't remember having to do that.

If your ASP is on the same server as hMailserver, the COM API should already be there.

Sorry - went away for a while but now need to resolve this.
I am trying to set up a web interface to change passwords etc. Using .net 4.0 (so not vbs) and hmail 5.3

In .net 2.0 I used to do this by installing Interop.hMailServer in my bin folder for the website , and then I could happily make calls against the API - But I just upgraded to hmail 5.3 and .net 4 and now get 'Cannot create ActiveX component' error.

<%@ Register TagPrefix="hMailServer" Namespace="hMailServer" Assembly="Interop.hMailServer" %>
Dim obApp = CreateObject("hMailServer.Application")

What I think I need to do is wrap the COM API / register the dll - but I don't know which one I need to register / place in my bin folder ?

Or if anyone else has suggestions on a web based password change system using .net

Any help very much appreciated

the COM API is installed with 5.3.x by default. However, I would suggest you install the very latest 5.4.x beta version of hmail server which is about to be released any day. i.e. its fully tested and ready to go live with over 1000 downloads already.

Then take a look at following ASP script which should show/provide you with code and how to access com api from ASP

http://www.hmailserver.com/forum/viewto ... 20&t=20186

If you have PHP on your server you could just run PHPWebAdmin and save yourself a lot of work. You will find folder PHPWebAdmin in your hmailserver folder. Just copy the whole PHPWebAdmin folder into your webserver, change a line in the config file and it should work providing you have PHP installed. The Above ASP light version may do what you want so check that first if you must use ASP.

p.s. in your script editor object browser, you should be able to load the com api and view all the classes, methods and properties. Its called "hMailserver Type Library" on my windows 7 system.

p.p.s. In VS Express 2012 object browser / custom component set / COM / hMailserver Type Library

Hi,

I have the same problem accessing API COM via ASP page.

I get this error

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01ad'
ActiveX component can't create object
/LM/W3SVC/26/ROOT/global.asa, line 88

Using W2008R2 and IIS 7.5

Is the API COM 32bit or 64bit?

[kevin@wine.co.za]

I am assuming 32 bit
There are a number of articles on the web about running 32 bit under IIS7
Bottom line is you need to change your Pool to 32 bit and the theory says it should work
In Application Pool for the site - in Advanced Settings look for Enable32-Bit applications

[bmanager]

Yep. It's 32 bit.

If I run this code on .asp page

Code: Select all

<% 
    On error resume next 
    if isObject(Createobject("hMailServer.Application")) then 
        response.write "hMS is installed." 
    else 
        response.write "hMS is not installed." 
    end if 
%>  

I get this response "hMS is installed."
