Default Trouble with Forms on IIS Server

I have a client who's website runs on an IIS server. I'm really struggling to get a simple stupid form to work on his site. I've tried using php and it doesn't work. Searching google I found that you have to make some pretty extensive changes to the server to make php pages work so I guess I'm over that.

I also tried using the script from here:

BrainJar.com: ASP FormMail

And I keep getting this error when I submit the form

Server object error 'ASP 0177 : 800401f3'

Server.CreateObject Failed

/formmail.asp, line 466

800401f3


I'm so lost does anyone have any idea what the problem could be?

Typically this means that ASP couldn't create or access a database entry that was specified in the formmail.asp script on line 466. I don't know much about ASP myself, but Microsoft has a support page about this issue: Err Msg: Server Object Error ASP 0177 : 800401f3

Been through this...tried all the php and most of the asp form solutions. Finally found XIGLA Form Processer. In 10 minutes I had a sample form up and running and spitting out emails from my IIS server using MS Access as the collection db (included in the XIGLA software) and CDOSYS (already in Server 2003) as the e-mail component. Best part was that I only had to make minor revisions to my existing forms and XIGLA did the rest. Had a couple questions and I got an immediate response from their support team. Good stuff.....

First, find out from the server admin which email system they've set up on the server and ask them if they've set up an email account to send messages from.

CDO, CDONTS, CDOSYS or whatever. Then you'll know which script you need to send messages.

If you're lucky, the Server Admins will even give you a sample script you can use. Don't bang your head against the wall trying to figure it out, just ask for some assistance from the hosting company.
