asp_web_howto thread: folder listing problem


Message #1 by "Joao Gomes Ferreira" <fojokojo@y...> on Mon, 23 Apr 2001 18:06:12
Hi



I have been using some asp code to provide folder listings of specific 

folders on my server. This is very handy, allowing automatic web page 

updates when a new file is ftpd to the folder, different ordering schemes 

(e.g. reverse chronology), etc. I run NT4 server SP6a. About a month ago, 

the code I use stopped working - The page loads up and then just times 

out. At that time, I decided to use a redirection of the home URL on the 

server to another one. I have since reverted to the original setup. I am 

not sure if the code stopped working then or whether it was just a 

coincidence. However, I cannot get the asp code to work. A very short 

listing is below, if anyone can help (much appreciated). I indicate where 

the code appears to break.



TIA



Joao



Dim StrPathInfo, StrPhysicalPath

Dim objFSO, objFileItem, objFolder, objFolderContents



StrPathInfo = "/test/"

StrPhysicalPath = Server.MapPath(StrPathInfo+"dummy.asp")

Response.Write(StrPathInfo&"<p>")

Response.Write(StrPhysicalPath&"<p>") // Displays OK



Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")



Response.Write(StrPhysicalPath&"<p>") // Displays OK



Set objFile = objFSO.GetFile(StrPhysicalPath)



Response.Write(StrPhysicalPath&"<p>") // Breaks here - this line not 

displayed



Set objFolder = objFile.ParentFolder



Response.Write(StrPhysicalPath&"<p>")
