Howto: Install webmonkey?

by **chalks** » Fri Jul 06, 2007 12:14 am

Hi,
This is my first post and I have been a long time user of MediaMonkey. I am trying to setup WebMonkey R12 but get an error after I upload the files and change the DB location in settings.asp
The error I receive is:

Server object error 'ASP 0177 : 800401f3'

Server.CreateObject Failed

/redline1/Default.asp, line 61

800401f3

I am new to ASP so would appreciate some assistance in resolving this issue.
Thanks,
chalks

I will have to look into the path issue and see what the correct setting would be.

I have the webmonkey directory on my desktop, and my MM directory is of course in program files....I copied the database from MM to the webmonkey data folder, so It can't be using the same database....

As for the linking to the songs, you want to link to the local song on your PC?

At the moment I am going to forget about trying to get it to load on the ASP host, and just want to get it running with IIS...I got all the error's fixed when I am running it through IIS, I just cant link it to load my music on my HDD....I have music stored on 2 seperate HDD I want it to load just like my reg. mediamonkey, but when I click the Tree + it shows nothing....I did take my MM DB from the program files and put it in the data folder....just dont know what else it needs....

I'd suggest you to try installing WebMonkey on your own IIS server first.

I have no suggestions for free ASP hosting, except for search results.

At the moment I'm trying to figure out the whole IIS thing, but I did find a free ASP hosting site....http://www.somee.com...I setup an account and UL all the files and when I goto the webmonkey dir I get this error

Code: Select all

Server.MapPath() error 'ASP 0172 : 80004005'

Invalid Path

/Webmonkey/Default.asp, line 62

The Path parameter for the MapPath method must be a virtual path. A physical path was used.

I am wondering do I have to have the Music and DB that I want to use on the server?

I got IIS up and running, and setup a Virtual Dir. and all the good stuff....I see the default page but now I just cant figure out how to get it to link to my music on my HDD

Well I emailed my server and this is there response "We are not supporting ASP. We have accounts hosted in linux servers."

So....I'm stuck there...any suggestions on a free host that supports ASP?

I am using lypha.com. I will email them to see if they do support ASP. I do have IIS installed also.

When I do the url + default.asp it just comes up as txt from the file.

And im pretty sure I have the database path set. To make sure what is the code to search for to make sure I am in the right place?

What webserver are you using? You will need a webserver that supports ASP pages (IIS is best for this as it's a Microsoft technology).

Have you tried the url + default.asp? That might be the issue as webservers need to be told what default document to load (IIS should have default.asp included as default document).

Also check out the settings.asp (with notepad) to make sure all configurations are correct (like the database path).

How do you even get it to work? lol....I uploaded all the files to a folder on my server and when I goto the URL all I get is the Index of the directory.....

Just post your issues and I will try to help as much as I can.
