MapPath Method

I am coping a file from server to local on my computer using:

fso.CopyFile Server.MapPath("downloadworkfile.htm"), Server.MapPath("p:workingworkfile.htm"), true
I am getting MapPath method must be a virtual path. How do I reference a virtual path?

Server.mappath Method

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")

Connection String Server.mappath Method

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.

Can anyone help me out?

MapPath()

Is there a built-in function that will give me the full url for a logically mapped address? Basically I want to pass "../folder1/default.asp" from www.mysite.com/folder2/something.asp and have it return "http://www.mysite.com/folder1/default.asp"...anyone know a nice way to do that? I'd like to avoid parsing the string if a function is already build in.

Server.MapPath() On IIS 6.0

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?

Server.mappath.

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?

Server.mappath

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?

Server.MapPath

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.

Server.mappath

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?

Server.MapPath Error

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:

Page 2 - Mappath Error

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

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?
