unable to use virtual paths IIS 5.1
|
|
|
| Is there a way t get iis 5.1 to recognize virtual paths for a vrtual folder
??
for server side includes, I am unable to use virtual paths in my websites on
a IIS 5.1 server (Winxp Pro sp2).
<!--#include virtual="/<virtual path>/<filename.ext>"-->
I can only use parent paths
<!--#include file="../<filename.ext>"-->
For the specific virtual folder, I tried disabling the checkbox for enabling
parent paths in the website configuration options, but it still won't
recognize virtual paths.
I also tried the same for the default website root, still no suucess.
any tips on how to get this to work ??

I may be daft, but what exactly is a "virtual path"?

| A virtual path is one which start from the root of the virtual site and
drills down according to path info provided.
A relative path is a path starting from the location of the calling script.
These can point up or down.

| Hello,
What is the problem? If i understood you correctly what you wanted to do,
i could do it on a Windows XP SP2 machine.
Do you see any errors?

| yes, the error message received is, "file not found" , when the virtual
path is applied in the server side include. No error message when the
parent path (ie "relative path") is used.

I must be sleeping. I knew that. 
Check the actual path and ensure the file is there. Also, are you
just getting a file not found error or is there possibly a permission
error?

| And the path is correct?
I assume that you get a 500.100 error message, and that it reads something
like:
The include file '/path/file.htm' was not found.
The file that is written in this path really exists? What is the NTFS
permissions on that file/folder?

the permission is the same for relative path and virtual path.
one works the other doesn't
