Server.MapPath() Doesn't Work
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'm using SQL Server and I decided to convert one of the fields from nvarchar to ntext. The transition in the manager was all right, but my ASP pages wouldn't display the ntext and there is no error message. I use Code:
<%=rs("Text")%>
to display the ntext...and there is nothing.

I have a database table with several records. Now I am filtering some data based on the "where" statement. If I run the query in analyzer then I get 20 rows. If I run the same query in asp and assign GetRows() to an array, then the array returns only 4. I am not sure if I am using the GetRows wrong. Here is a snipp of my code:

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")
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?

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.

/dir/wwwroot/andy
and you use
server.mappath("/dir/andy")
you recieve the physical path , i.e. c:.inetpub/wwwroot/dir/andy
is there a way of going the other way ie from a physical path to a virtual path?

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 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?
cst = "Driver={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=" &
server.mappath("shopsmartnetworkcartcart.mdb")
