I have a web project that has multiple directories. Some of the files in
different directories use the same include files. The problem is that these
include files also reference an image folder. I am trying to create an
absolute reference to these images so I don't have to make the same include
for different directories. What is the best way to do this?
I am trying to create a log of certain events on the website by writing them
to a text file. The logging code is in an "included" file that is inserted
into the pages that need to be monitored. Currently, the target text file is
just specified in the FSO MapPath as "thelog.txt", so it writes the log to a
text file within the same folder as the web page.
The problem is that I don't want to grant browsers Write access to my pages
folder, so I need to have a separate directory to hold the log text file
that browsers can have Write access to. The web site is hosted on a shared
server that I do not have direct access to. In the past, occasionally an
error has popped up that states the exact location, but I can not get that
to repeat. I know it is something like "D:customersmyuseridwww"
How can I find out the actual location on the server so I can use an
absolute path to write all the logs to one file in one location?
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.

Main folder is "Web". In the "WEB" folder some asp file resides. another folder named "Admin" also reside in the "WEB" folder. My DB resides in the DB folder that is outside of the "WEB" folder and on the same root where "WEB" folder is.
I have a file named Connect.asp which contains the path for DB. I have included this file in both user files (which are simply in web folder) and in the administrator files. But when the admin tries to log-in the file didn't read the appropriate path as it finds the DB in the WEB folder. But it works fine when i communicate with the DB through user files.
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:
View Replies View RelatedIs it possible to get the physical path of a cookie? (C:Document and SettingsmyLoginCookies)
Because I need "myLogin" (the Windows Login), and I can't get with request.ServerVariables("logon_user") or ("author_user") or whatever...
I'm writing an ASP validation script that uses a cookie that is created by a user validation page and has a single value. This site will be used only under Internet Explorer 5 and more recent.
My problem is that the page called after the cookie creation can't read the cookie unless I set the Cookie.Path attribute to "". All the documentation that I found about it is very brief, don't explain how it really works and if there's any kind of "side effects". An even stranger fact is that some people of my team can read the cookie without setting the Cookie.Path attribute.
Can anyone tell me how the Cookie.Path really works or witch browser settings make it needed (or not)?

I'm trying to concatenate a path of Application("WebSiteFullPath") which

add the extra double quote between my website path variable and my image

im having a problem with folder path in include files. I have a solution, but there must be a way better one. The problem is when i have an include file... menu.inc in my root directory root/. This menu.inc references images in the root/images/ folder.
I also have an articles folder root/articles/. The menu.inc is included in files in the articles folder, however this messes up the image paths and files in the articles folder are looking for the images in root/articles/images/.
to combat this, in front of every image reference in my menu.inc file, i have a variable <%= pathVar %>. At the top of every file in the articles folder, i have the command <% pathVar = "../" %>. this will insert a ../ before the images folder in the reference therfore correcting the image reference. In the root folder I use <% pathVar = "" %> , so the <%= pathVar %> amounts to nothing leaving the paths correct.
This works, however means having to switch from HTML to ASP mode for every image in the include file, which is not efficient. Is there a better way around the path problem.
if you need to place the path to your database, what path do you place when you are having you site hosted by a web hosting company. For example my database is in a folder called "db" and its called "company.mdb"
the path I'm using is: "Data Source=c:dbcompanx.mdb"
but I keep getting a "database can't be found error" what path am I to assume they used. I mean its probably not a "C" drive so what do I place? I tried it without placing the drive but it doesn't work it seems to want only the direct path.
Is there something similar to PHP's php_info command to tell me all about the server? I need to find the actual path where the site resides.
