Author/Date | Can't get Scribe to accept the SSL plug-in |
J44xm 14/03/2005 12:45am | I'm quite new to i.Scribe 1.87 (final) and I can't get it to accept the SSL plug-in (v0.40) and I'm unsure why. I keep getting this: "ScribePlugin load log: Operating system couldn't load the library file (.DLL/.SO) Failed." I've tried placing the file in the program's directory and various subdirectories, but every time I try to add it to my plug-in dialog, I get an error. I have "libeay32.dll" and "ssleay32.dll" in a directory entitled "OpenSSL." Any ideas? |
fret 14/03/2005 1:36am | The plugins only work with the latest version of Scribe :( |
J44xm 14/03/2005 2:32am | Thanks for the reply. This is very bizarre since I have the latest stable build. Are you sure about this? Does this mean that we're expected to use the beta builds? How stable are they? |
J44xm 14/03/2005 3:09am | Update: I now have the latest i.Scribe but something's not right. When I try to check my Gmail account (which IS set for POP3), I get this message in my log: "Error: Scribe_SSL.cpp:296 - SSL_CTX_new failed." Ideas? |
fret 14/03/2005 3:39am | And openssl is installed? |
fret 14/03/2005 3:41am | The test builds are pretty stable. |
J44xm 14/03/2005 3:44am | No, actually. Following the guideance from the SSL plug-in page ("With the release of v0.4 of the SSL plugin you can install the required parts of OpenSSL into '..\OpenSSL' relitive to the location of Scribe.exe and the plugin will find and use them"), I downloaded the files online from dll-files.com, created a subdirectory entitled "OpenSSL," and placed them in there (with copies in my i.Scribe root for good measure).
Here's how my directory tree appears right now: | about.html | CrashData.txt | Lgi.dll | LgiNet.dll | LgiSkin.dll | libeay32.dll | mail.mail2 | Scribe.exe | Scribe.lr8 | scribe.r | Scribe.txt | ScribeMapi.dll | Scribe_SSL.dll | ssleay32.dll | Title.gif | title.html | uninstall.exe | _about.gif | _icons.gif | _toolbar.gif | +---help | [HTML files removed for space's sake] | \---OpenSSL libeay32.dll ssleay32.dll |
J44xm 14/03/2005 4:26am | When I place the two DLLs in the program root directory, I don't get an error message but I get no connection either. When I place them in the OpenSSL directory, I get the DLLs-not-installed error. Since the documentation states that the files are to be in the OpenSSL directory, I'll leave them there, but that leaves me with this curious error message.
Might I have the wrong versions of the files? Here are the stats of the files I downloaded: 12/01/2002 01:57 PM 593,920 libeay32.dll 11/02/2004 06:21 PM 472,336 ssleay32.dll They were downloaded from http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?libeay32 and http://www.dll-files.com/dllindex/dll-files.shtml?ssleay32. i.Script looks very interesting thus far! I just hope I can get this to work. |
fret 14/03/2005 5:11am | You have the OpenSSL directory in a siub-folder of the Scribe directory. Which is not right, it should be next to the Scribe dir:
| +-Scribe | | | +-Help | +-OpenSSL |
J44xm 14/03/2005 5:34am | Ah, I see. Well, I made OpenSSL a sibling directory to Scribe and tried adding the SSL plug-in again. I still get the same errors!

BAR 15/03/2005 2:28am | I'm having a similar problems with the plugin. With the dlls located in an OpenSSL folder next to Scribe (or inside Scribe's folder) the program starts up with the 'dlls not installed' message. When the dlls are placed in Scribe's root folder this is the log I get;
Connected to 'pophm.sympatico.ca:995' using SSL +OK BAYC1-PAPOP02 POP3 Server ready USER b1xxxxxx +OK PASS ******* -ERR command failed SSL connection closed. Would be nice to get this fixed soon; my primary mailbox is now inaccessible through InScribe! |
BAR 15/03/2005 3:57am | Success at last! It's now working (send & receive) with the two dlls in the Scribe directory. I downloaded the latest OpenSSL installer (Win32OpenSSL-v0.9.7e.exe) and extracted the dlls instead of using 'generic' ones; the sizes are;
libeay32.dll at 843,776 bytes (modified Oct. 26 2004) SSLeay32.dll at 159,744 bytes (modified Oct. 26 2004) Hope this helps! |
J44xm 15/03/2005 4:18am | Sounds great, BAR. Any chance you can e-mail those files to me or something? I don't care to install the program solely to get these files. |
J44xm 15/03/2005 4:24am | Oh, cancel that. I did a nice Google search and found a directory (http://tinyurl.com/6h2mc) with both files. Installing them directly into my i.Scribe directory did the trick! Finally, I'm set! And hopefully this post will help others. |
