I am trying to set up the "path" for were my Access Database is on my
Webhost provideer. When I set up my FTP account, it indicated that my
physical path was "E:\www.MyWebsi te.com".
When I asked my webhost if I could use this as my physical address, they
indicated that I should create a directory under the root and place my
access database there and the use the "Server.MetPath (string)" to retrieve
the path.
My question is what value do I place in the "String" portion of the method.
I am guessing that I would put "www.MyWebsite. com/MyDataFolder". Is that
correct?
If that is correct, then how will I be able to modify my code to work on my
test machine and work on the production box without changes? I would guess
that I would use "localhost" or my IP address, but that would not be the
same for when I move the code to the production box. I guess I could place
the value in the web.config file, but is there a better way to do this?
Thanks in advance for your assistance!!!!! !!!!!!!

Hi Jim,
You will need to use Server.MapPath not Server.MetPath
In your website say http://www.MyWebsite.com/MyDataFolder
,MyDataFolder is the virtual path.
To translate this virtual path into the actual physical path you need to use
Server.MapPath.
It will be like : Server.MapPath( "MyDataFold er") which will give you
the physical path.
The output of this will be like E:\ www.MyWebsite.com\MyDataFolder which is
the actual physical path.
Hope this helps.

You probably just want Server.MapPath( "/MyDataFolder"). Since the string
doesn't contain the host name, there is no need to change it for your test
server.

I've got the directory f:\Company\Product set as web shared so it's got a

Can anyone please tell me why this isn't working?

Sorry to be irate, but the whole concept of Server.MapPaths really has me in
a tiswas!!
In order to confirm once and for all, could you please advise me on the
following:
1) There is no difference in putting '/' or '\' in the Server.MapPath param,
eg Server.MapPath("/fred/test.asp") or Server.MapPath("\fred\test.asp") -

I have some functions that are reading/writing to the file system. As such,
they use server.mapPath a lot to navigate it all.
Since I'm using these functions numerous times throughout my application, I
thought I'd move these into their own .vb class file and reference them that
way.
The catch is when moving these scripts over, 'Server.MapPath' turns into an
error "Name 'server' is not declared"

Hello,
I have a web application with a virtual directory in it. With 'virtual
directory' i mean
a folder whose physical path is different from the physical path of the
application, but in which Web Sharing is active.
For example:
my application is in "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MyApp",
the Virtual folder is in "C:\VirtualFolder",
and IIS sees it as if it were in "C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\MyApp\VirtualFolder".
