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?
If I have multiple websites on the same server,can I use the #include directive to reference include files elsewhere on the server? I tried this -
<!--#include file="C:InetpubvhostsATRAMEMBER.COMhttpdocsheader.asp" -->
But no dice...
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:
View Replies View RelatedSet objFile = objFSO.GetFile(Server.MapPath(strFileName))
this line brings up this error:
----------

the variable strFileName is being read correctly..
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.

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?
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.
Code:
<%=Server.MapPath(rsCurrImgs("nvcLinkPath"))%>
Gives a strange error. When I do it like this: rsCurrImgs("nvcLinkPath")it works fine. What can it be?

if you have an address
/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?

View Replies View RelatedI 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.

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?

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...
What's wrong with this code? Thie file is there, why cant it find it?
