Multiple Versions of Dreamweaver/Webassist?

[Art]

I have a need to run older versions of Dreamweaver and WebAssist extensions.

Specifically, I need CS3 and Universal Mail 2.6 (2.6 doesn't work in CS4)

I tried having multiple versions but this broke my setup. Ended up having to remove CS3, it's extensions and and reinstalling extensions back into CS4.

After a wasted day, I got it all back working.

So how do I have CS3 and CS4 together with old and new Extensions together?

Probably not a way to do it. The extension manager won't let you have more than one of the same version installed and since the same extension manager is used across products you can't have them both installed.

Thanks.

Well, the problem I'm having is with 2.8 vs 2.6

The site I have is on 2.6 but now that I have CS4, (newly installed), it won't let me use 2.6 any more. The problem is, I can't get 2.8 working with my site; it installs, applies to the page but when I upload it, it refuses to send (CDOSYS).

It uses all the same settings and I've uploaded all the library files but now it's not working.

Any ideas where to look?

Add a die statement after the email is sent to see if there is an error message. If it isn't sending there must be a problem, you just might need to debug a little to find it.

How to add a die statement?

[Ray Borduin]

see: http://www.webassist.com/forums/showthread.php?t=575&highlight=email+die(

it talks about debugging email by adding a die statement.

That example was in PHP, got one for asp?

[Ray Borduin]

in asp you use:

Response.Write()
Response.End

to do the equivalent of a die(); statement in php.

I would start by making sure the trigger is firing. Does it redirect when you put a redirect page in the email server behavior?

We use our own mail server and that sits on a different box than the site host.

The 2.6 version works in this environment but when using the 2.8 version, it fails. Everything else is the same so it seems as though it should work.

I think I remember trying this but I don't remember how that turned out. It's been a while but is 2.6 compatible with cs4?

No, it doesn't redirect.

error '80040211'

If you get "8004020E" or "80040211" errors, and you are using a remote SMTP server, make sure that you can establish a telnet session on the SMTP server from the web server, that the SMTP server is configured to allow SMTP relay, and that it doesn't require outgoing SMTP authentication. If it requires outgoing authentication, you may need to use the commercial version of ASPEmail, or another component that supports outgoing SMTP authentication. You can send e-mail to an SMTP server requiring outgoing authentication with CDO using the following code:

I am pretty sure this is your error:

CDO_E_SMTP_SEND_FAILED
0x80040211L
The message could not be sent to the SMTP server. ...

Above is a discussion about what that error usually means.

Using Universal Email 2.8 and getting the error '80040211'. After looking around, I figured that it had something to do with a remote smtp (we run our own mail server). Ended up taking the user/password off and the problem went away.

So now my question is how important is the username/password when using CDOSYS mail?

[Ray Borduin]

It is only important and should only be included if it is required... which it appears it is not for your server.

Just use the CS3 Extension manager (not the CS4 ext. manager) to install the "old" extension. You will be given the option to apply the extensions to Dreamweaver CS3. I have used this method to run Dreamveraver 8, CS3, and CS4 on the same machine. The key is ...use the appropriate Extension Manager for the corresponding Dreamweaver version. You should also check the CS4 extension manager after the installation is complete to verify that the old extension is not active for Dreamweaver CS4 as well.
