asp_components thread: Windows 2000 Virtual Directory

Message #1 by rg1@h... on Thu, 7 Jun 2001 21:40:41

Hi.



We use SAFileUp for file uploads and downloads. 



We just installed Windows 2000 and my virtual directories are not working 

correctly. I created a virtual directory called SAFiles under the Default 

FTP site, pointing to D:\SAUploads.



However, when I check what my upl.path is (set to the virtual directory) 

it's showing me that it's looking for SAUploads in 

C:\INETPUB\WWWROOT\SAFiles where SAFiles is the virtual directory name.



Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!



Rita

Rita,



What is the reason that you made the upload path to the FTP site? AFAIK IIS

has no knowledge of the virtual directory structure of the FTP site.

Try using a (virtual) path that resides under the webserver.

Hi Gerhard.



Yes, before getting your response I realised that I needed the virtual 

path

to reside under the webserver, as you suggested.

I deleted the virtual path that I had created in the FTP site and then

created one under the webserver. Not the default one but one that I 

have for

my project that's in the default one. i.e. C:\INETPUB\WWWROOT\WEBPPO. 

I'm

still having the same problem thouigh. I tried rebooting but that 

didn't

help either. Very strange...

Hi Gerhard.



It's pretty basic stuff. Here it is:

<% @ LANGUAGE="VBSCRIPT" %>

<%

Option Explicit 



Dim virtualPath							'Server

Virtual directory where uploaded file will reside

Dim oUpload

'SAFileUp object

Dim strFileName



	virtualPath="/SATest2"



	Set oUpload = Server.CreateObject("SoftArtisans.FileUp")

		oUpload.MaxBytes = 700000000

		oUpload.Path = Server.Mappath (virtualPath)

Rita,



You're right, the code seems oke

Did you do some tests to see what's going wrong?

For example:

see if  Response.Write Server.Mappath("/SAtest2")  returns the right path

Also you could try to use the physical path instead.

You could als try the SaveInVirtual method of the SAFileUp component



Regards



Gerhard

Hi Gerhard.



I haven't had a chance to try to resolve it - I have a presentation 

this

afternoon! I will certainly try your suggestions tomorrow though.



Is "SaveInVirtual" a new method? I don't remember seeing it before?



Currently for the presentation, I'm using the physical path. Thinking 

about

it, since it's an ASP page, why do I need the virtual path? The user 

can't

see my ASP code!

Hi Rita



I don't know if SaveInVirtual is new. I use version 3.1. I just dug it up

from the help file. Good luck with your presentation.

Wait I must have slept.

Do you realise that Server.Mappath ("/SATest2") points to a directory in the

root of your webserver? So if your webservers homedirectory is

D:\inetpub\wwwroot the Server.Mappath function will return

D:\inetpub\wwwroot \SATest2 .

Server.Mapptah ("SATest2") will point to the directory right under the one

you are "working" in.

If the directory doesn't reside under IIS you can't use Server.Mappath and

you must use a physical path. As I read in your first mail (after sleeping

right) you want to use the directory D:\SAUploads. Unless D:\ is your

webservers homedirectory, you can't point to it with

(Server.Mappayh("/SAUploads").



Regards,



Gerhard

Hi Gerhard.



My webserver directories are located on C:\INETPUB\WWWROOT\WEBPPO.



My virtual directory was pointing to D:\SAUploads.



Interesting comment regarding Server.Mappath not working if the 

directory

doesn't reside under IIS. Before installing all the latest software, my

virtual directory was under IIS but now it's not. In fact I need to 

change

it to point to another server!



Armed with this new knowledge, I'll play around. I'm comfortable with 

using

the physical path (which is held in a variable) on the ASP page.



Thanks for your help.



Rita
