Thanks for your answer. You where on a right path. I am impressed that you understood my explenation:

In db_connect.asp

it was pointing to the Spamfilter.udl file on the new mail server.

When i opened it the build line read:

DSN=spam;DESCRIPTION=spam;SERVER=localhost;UID=root;DATABASE=spamfilter;PORT=3306;SSLVERIFY=

 

As this was on the new mail server and the mysql was also on the new mail server, i was sure i could use localhost, but for some reason it must have interpret "localhost" as the local on the webserver and not the mail server.

I changed the line to

DSN=spam;DESCRIPTION=spam;SERVER=webserver2;UID=root;DATABASE=spamfilter;PORT=3306;SSLVERIFY=

(webserver2 is the name of the new mail server)

and now it works fine

 

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction

 

Kind Regards

I have before got this resolved on

 

That time i had one server with www,mail og spamfilter and mysql

I am using windows 2003 with IIS

 

I had it to work from www.e-advice.dk/spamfilterweb with the help of this solution.

 

Now i have got a dedicated mail / spamfilter  server

 

The setup is as follow

 

behind a router i have to server
port 80 is forwarding to IP:x.x.x.10

port 25 is forwarding to IP:x.x.x.16

 

IP:x.x.x.10  (webserver, before also mail/spamfilter server)

IP:x.x.x.16  (new mail server/spamfilter/mysql)

 

Now as i have moved spamfilter and spamfilterweb to x.x.x16 i can on that server if i physically sit on it write

http://localhost/spamfilterweb  and it works

 

But here is the problem

When i sit on  my own homepc i can not access it as there is no domain name on that new server. only an internal IP address.

------------------------------------------------------

on the old webserver i have now redirected spamfilterweb to the new mail server in ISS

I first got a fault that it could not connect

I then edited the line in  db_connect.asp:

con.Open "file name=c:\program files\spamfilter\databases\spamfiltermysql.udl

to

con.Open "file name=c:\\172.18.0.16\spamfilter\databases\spamfiltermysql.udl

 

-------------------------------------------------------

 

I now get the logon box. YES!!!!

 

One problem to go.

It stills look at the mysql on the old mailserver (now only webserver where the redirection is taking place) and not on the mysql server now on the new mail server

 

So here is the question if you could follow so far.  lol

 

When you logon to the smamfilterweb (pressing "Logon")

What file should i edit to get it to validate on the mysql server on 172.18.0.16 instead on the webserver where there redirection is taking place (in this case localhost)

 

Any idea where to adit so it authenitcate on the new mail servers mysql server?

 

Kind Regards
