there is an image folder in my root directoty containing images. When I run the following code from a file located in root directory, the file gets deleted. But when I put the file in some other folder, it generates error FILE NOT FOUND.
aND YES, i'VE TRIED BOTH
fso.deletefile(server.mappath("Images/"&photo))
fso.deletefile(server.mappath("/Images/"&photo))
<%
dim fso
photo="902392.jpg"
set fso = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
fso.deletefile(server.mappath("Images/"&photo))
%>
How do you use server.mappath to update a access database on a completely different computer? One of my websites needs to update a database on a completely different website. Code:
Set objFile = objFSO.GetFile(Server.MapPath(strFileName))
this line brings up this error: ---------- Error Type: Microsoft VBScript runtime (0x800A0035) File not found /Turbomaster/presupuesto_confirm.asp, line 67 ------------ the variable strFileName is being read correctly..
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?
but then I create a new folder called for instance 'database' and move my diary.mdb into it(with full permissions), what do I change the server.mappath to?
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.
I'm trying to create a log file of users accessing my site. This I can do on the current server using server.mappath, but I can't figure out how to write to a file on a different server.
I need to use Server.Execute for dynamic includes. My files are located in different folders and what works for one doesn't work for another. I need to include the full path to the file because relative paths do not work. Can someone tell me how to do something like this:
I have an asp file that gathers info from a form and sends to the database. im now changing the location of the database from the root path. I think that because of this i cannot use Server.MapPath method of sending data.
Coudl someone please help me out and let me know how i would change the code? Im quite new to this as you could probably see. Code:
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:
In my root folder, there is a folder "Images". I need to check whether there is a file named 23.jpg in it or not. I am using the following code but it's returning false. The file is in the folder.
<% Set fs=Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") x="23.jpg" If fs.FileExists(Server.Mappath("/Images/"&x)) = true Then Response.Write("File Exists.") Else Response.Write("File Does Not Exists") End If
I need to map a path to my database file automatically, if I move the application to a different direcotry level I still have to write part of the path to get the application to work.
Is there anyway I can translate the directory path and place inside the mappath function so I dont have to manually edit it?

If I run Server.MapPath("/") on my operational Internet server I get, correctly, the physical path to the directory my page is in (d:.......htdocs).
If I run Server.MapPath("/") on my intranet server, my localhost, I get c:inetpubwwwroot, but my webpages are NOT in this folder, they are in c:webtest.
How to I establish the correct physical root on my intranet server?
How can I change a server.mappath back to the virtual path. I am creating a search function on my site and it search through the files on the server. I start with the server.mappath("/") and it searches through all the files just fine but the file path is displayed at d:sitefolderfile.asp. how can i change that path back to the virtual path (/folder/file.asp)?
How can I pass the results of a form field submitted to this statement below?
<% Set MyFileObj = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") '### This Works '###Set MyTextFile = MyFileObj.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath("body.txt")) '### This Doesnt work Set MyTextFile = MyFileObj.OpenTextFile(Server.MapPath(" & request.form("MyFileName") & "))
WHILE NOT MyTextFile.AtEndOfStream Response.Write(MyTextFile.ReadLine & Chr(10)) WEND MyTextFile.Close %>
I have to upload my senior project to the school's sytem. My asp pages are all in one directory so there is no directory structure. At home I just reference my database file as Code:
Server.MapPath("mydb.mdb")
But it won't work on the school's system saying it can't find the database file. I've tried "mydb.mdb" and ".mydb.mdb", but it still won't find it. I'm just wanting to make sure that, those are the only ways you can reference your db. I've sent and email to the admin, but he doesn't answer his emails. (What an admin!) I'll have to talk to him in person about it then. Suggestions till then?
I have a site with the directory structure like this:
wwwroot (where the default.asp and other pages sit)inc (where the includes are)login (where login pages are)otherDirs (where other pages are)datafiles (where database is)
I usually hard code the db connection path but want to use the MapPath now in case in the future my site moves servers (have been though that and having to manually change all db connection strings - Not Fun ) Code:
I have an application which was successfully writing data from submitted forms to a text file in a directory - in this case:
/data/findata.txt
This was fine because the forms lived at the root level with this directory.
Since then I have added enabled the forms to be used on subdirectories :
/subdirectory/myform.asp
I've used the same code for server.mapparth("data") etc - but instead of locating the directory at the root of the server called "data" it looks to the current directory- doesn't find it and creates another! eek!
What I need is a way to say "right, it doesnt matter what level you are at at the moment, always look at the root level /data directory"...
This has to be fairly dynamic - on the development server here its got a different file structure than on the live server (ie, it lives another level down again on the physical drive)...
Anyone got a good idea on how to look back up?
I do have one way to test which level they are at - but I feel that its a bit 'weak' - I have an ID that tells me if they are working on the upper or lower levels (ie, anything other than 1 is a lower level) - whilst I realise I could use this in the test I'm not sure if its going to be 100% fool proof to base this criteria on this ID.
Therefore I was hoping for a better way using the server.mappath etc...
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.
Wondered if anyone could help me out with some simple connection string problems I'm having.
Ive got this on the page so far and it works: ---------------------------------------------- Dim strConnString set strConnString = server.createobject("adodb.connection") strConnString.ConnectionString="DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" & "DBQ=c:Inetpubwwwrootdlnforumforumadminwwforum.mdb" strConnString.open ----------------------------------------------- But I want to change it to a Server.MapPath method, so I tried the following: ------------------------------------------------ Dim strConnString set strConnString = server.createobject("adodb.connection") strConnString.ConnectionString="DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};" & Server.MapPath("forum/admin/wwforum.mdb") strConnString.open --------------------------------------------------- But now I get the following error: ------------------------------------------- Error Type: Microsoft OLE DB Provider for ODBC Drivers (0x80040E4E) Operation was canceled.
