Problem after upgrade

[Bent Elting]

I have used ZoomSearch 4.2 Pro and have today upgraded to version 5.0 Pro.

My site is www.xleasy.dk, Frontpage 2003 is my editor, and I use ZoomSearch asp with language Danish.

After indexing and upload I try a search. Every time I get this error message:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a0005'

Invalid procedure call or argument

/xle/_search/search.asp, line 713

I have uninstalled, deleted, tried again and much more. Any suggestions?

Did you upload the new search.asp script?

Maybe you are using V4 index files with the V5 script or the the V4 script with V5 of the index files?

Now I've found a workaround.

Configuration and indexing is working correct. The bug is possibly created by Frontpage 2003:

I have a folder '_search' for search.asp, settings.asp and the other files. The normal workflow is:

1) I update the website locally
2) I run Zoom Search
3) With Frontpage I publish changed content (including search files) to the server

The bug comes here: Before publishing, lines 30 to 36 look like this:

Dim catnames, NumCats, catpages, catindex
Dim IsZoomQuery

%>
<!-- #include file="settings.asp" -->
<%
if (ScriptEngine <> "VBScript" OR ScriptEngineMajorVersion < 5) then

The published file on the server have these lines:
Dim catnames, NumCats, catpages, catindex
Dim IsZoomQuery

%> <%
if (ScriptEngine <> "VBScript" OR ScriptEngineMajorVersion < 5) then

It seems Frontpage is trying to execute the include statement.

Workaround: File search.asp is copied manually to the server once. Afterwards the file is excluded from publishing.

Maybe somebody could explain why this happens?

Frontpage is really a terrible piece of software. We stopped using it about 5 years ago. Dreamweaver does a much better job. (Even Notepad does a better job in fact).

In this case I am guessing that Frontpage tried to be too smart and filtered out some code it thought wasn't important. Probably becuase of the comment tags.
