Error at Map Path System.Mappath()
Please tell me a walk around for system.mappath("../database/data.mdb")
my files are already configured with this path
now windows 2003 server IIS6.0 is not allowing this.
I've got the directory f:CompanyProduct set as web shared so it's got a
virtual directory in the default web site on my test server's IIS. If I try
to use Server.MapPath in that site it returns a path within
c:Inetpubwwwroot rather than the real path.
Can anyone please tell me why this isn't working?
i need to find the absolute path to a folder (/home/httpd/ etc....) on a linux system. is ther a script that i can uses that will tell me the absolute path to it. then i can chnge to to the folder.
View Replies View RelatedI have a virtual path setup in order to give my web server access
to a file on my app server. I am using the file system object to check
for the existance of the file and if it exists, it has to validate the
file date.
The problem is I can't seem to find the file. I can successfully check
for the existance of a file on the web server, but once I enter the
virtual path it can't find anything. All three of these calls return
false...
fso.FileExists("http://server/localfolder/virtualfolder/test.txt")
fso.FileExists("/localfolder/virtualfolder/test.txt")
fso.FileExists(Server.MapPath("/localfolder/virtualfolder/test.txt"))
However these two calls work, so I assume I am referencing the file
correctly...
Response.Redirect "http://server/localfolder/virtualfolder/test.txt"
Response.Redirect "/localfolder/virtualfolder/test.txt"
Am I doing something wrong here? The virtual path is setup with an id
that has full access to the folder.
I just took up the task of learning ASP, done all the hello world stuff and then thought about the DB side of things and thought that a login system would be a nice place to start, so naturally I started with the registration page, and asp page to do the actual DB stuff, but it would seem I have a prob with Server.MapPath. So I edited my Register page to test and sure enough it doesn’t work, but it works when I make a page with just a .Write of the Server.MapPath Code:

I have no clue what is wrong here any help would be greatly appreciated
Server.mappath always returns an absolute disk path to a file, regardless of if you pass a web path that starts from the root of the web or relative to the current directory.
chazukka's example will work fine as long as the script is executed from a page that's in the proper directory, i.e., a page that has subdirectory named database and the mdb file is in that subdirectory.
For example, assuming you're running /myweb/somewhere/myfolder/myasp.asp in a directory /myweb/somewhere/myfolder and the database file is in /myweb/somewhere/myfolder/database/mydb.mdb then
diskp1 = server.mappath("database/mydb.mdb")
diskp2 = server.mappath("/myweb/somewhere/myfolder/database/mydb.mdb")
diskp1 and diskp2 will have identical contents
I'm trying to use MapPath on a folder named with a comma in it:
xmldoc.load Server.MapPath(Request.QueryString("fname"))
where the querysting is something like "fname=this, that/this, that.xml".
I'm sure it's the comma, because if I remove it and rename the file and folder, everything works. I believe that a comma is a valid character in a folder or filename,
so why does MapPath barf on it? Is there any way around this still using MapPath? Can someone point me to a source with a list of the valid characters the MapPath accepts?
I seem to be getting this error, and after Googling and searching this site, I still can't get a grip on it. I have a site on a server which is being developed for a national company who will offer this site to their members, hosting each on the national orgainzations servers. I have this string -
openStr = "driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" & _
"dbq=" & Server.MapPath("../databases/srt.mdb")
Which results in this error:
The '..' characters are not allowed in the Path parameter for the MapPath method
Ok, the common solution seems to be a configuration on the server, which wouldn't be a problem IF the site was to remain where it is. BUT, seeing as I will give this site to the client, who will host it on their servers, could this configuration "fix" be a problem, perhaps for security issues.
I want to write logfiles to a textfile. But when the file doesn't exist, then the file should be created. But the code gives an error at this part of the code. I have no idea of what the mistake could be. Here's the code:

i am looking into using the File System object on an intranet through ASP so as the user can move files from there local drive onto the server drive.
i have got the code working moving files from one local drive to another but a problem arrises when i transfer from a local drive to a mapped network drive (the server).
the errror is: Permission Denied
the mapped network drive has full read and write access.
any ideas as to why this is happening, or is there a better way?

I am currently developing a final year project which is a web based

server, MS access for the database, and ASP with VBScript for the
scripting side of things.

any previous expierence in this? i don't even know where to start.

I am running exactly the same ASP code on IIS 5.0 and IIS 6.0
I am calling Server.MapPath(), the parameter is a virtual path that includes a reference to a parent path ("Root/Files/../Config/"). 'Config' is a virtual directory under 'Root' which is also a virtual directory. 'Files' is a normal folder.
Under IIS 5.0, the path is correctly mapped to the local path of the 'Config' virtual directory.
Under IIS 6.0, the path gets mapped to "C:WebSiteRootFiles..Config", ignoring the 'Config' virtual directory mapping. Is there a special setting I should be aware of in IIS 6.0 to ensure correct
mapping of virtual paths?
I just don't understand it and I know I must be over complicating things.
strCon= "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;Data Source=" & server.mappath("diary.mdb")

My web site has three folders:
htdocs
logs
private
I want to access an MS Access database in the 'private' directory from scripts within the 'htdocs' folder.
Part of my connection string reads:
Data Source=" & Server.MapPath("../private/test.mdb")
But the page returns the following error:
Could not find file '[my web site]htdocsest.mdb'
Why is it still looking in the 'htdocs' folder when my connection string points to the 'private folder?
The Windows OS allows commas in file/folder names but if you try to call .Code:
Server.MapPath("/smith, john/")
your application will neatly halt and provide you with an error report.Other than telling your site/network users not to use commas as allowed in the OS what can the application designer do to avoid the error.I am sure a kludgey workaround is to scan for the comma, change the file/folder name to something safe then restore the name at the end. I don't think this is a safe way to do things though.
