I am in the process of moving a site from one hosting company to another.
This site is fairly large, with hundreds of asp files, each with multiple
"include" statements.
The new host has a different webspace folder structure for it's clients than
the old host. At the moment, this is forcing me to have to append all the
paths for all the include statements (not to mention all the other
path-related code) to make things work.
Example:
Old host url to homepage: http://www.oursite.com/index.asp
New host url to homepage http://www.oursite.com/our-site-root...host/index.asp
I've never had to move a site this complex, so my question is - what is the
best way or "best practices" method to move this site successfully without
having to change hundereds of lines of code?
I did not write the original site code, and there is no global variable
available to address this.
Thank you very much for any assistance!

What is an example of an "include" that is used?
Does it not use a relative path?
Basically, can't you just change them to use relative paths?

They are all using virtual paths, such as <!--#include
virtual="/includes/mainMenu_script .asp" -->
Right now, the only way I can get the asp files to work is if I append our
new root folder to the includes, like this:
<!--#include
virtual="/folder-assigned-by-new-webhost/includes/mainMenu_script .asp" -->
This would mean changing hundreds of lines of code burried within hundreds
of asp files, and I'm sure that is not the solution. I'm sure I'm missing
something, but I'm just not sure what.
Thanks.

Can't you create a virtual folder as was done before?
If not, why don't you create a folder off of the webroot called "includes"
and change "virtual=" to "file="; this would allow for future migrations as
well.
Are the include files all in the same folder?
Also, are all of the ASP files in the same folder?

If all the virtual includes start with a / then it should be simple.
Just do a global find and replace on every file. (On a backup of
course!)
Replace: <!--#include virtual="/
With: <!--#include virtual="/new-root-folder/
I use a handy little text editor called Editpad[1] for things like
that as it can quite promptly open hundres of files at once and do a
find and replace on the whole lot.

I'm sorry but this doesn't make any sense. With include virtual, / is the
virtual web root. If your include paths are all:
/includes/somefile.asp then that reads as http://domain.com/includes/somefile.asp.
If your physical path is similar to:
d:\websites\dom ain.com\webroot \includes
....then what is the problem?
