Hi,

Heres one... Why would this piece of code work on one asp.net server yet throw an 'ASP 0131' error once we move to another asp.net box?



<%@ CodePage=65001 Language="VBScript"%>
<% Option Explicit %>




etc.....


Screen error message :

Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0131'

Disallowed Parent Path

/forum/forums/forum-view.asp, line 7

The Include file '../includes/include.asp' cannot contain '..' to indicate the parent directory.


Helllllllllllllp!

Hi there,

This is a setting you can change for each application in IIS. It's recommended to leave it off, so that's probably why the new server doesn't have it enabled.

To change it, try this:

1. Open the IIS Manager
2. Locate your website, and open its Properties dialog.
3. Click Home Directory and the Configuration.
4. Switch to the Options tab and then make sure that Enable parent paths is selected.

Alternatively, change your include statements, so they no longer reference a parent path. You can use an include like :

virtual="/Include/SomeFile.asp"

Hope this helps,
