hi all,
i've a legacy ASP.NTT code that works fine, but now i'm trying to add new
feature
so i get the files from our source safe and put them in "d:\Projects\mySite"
and created a new virtual directory for it and make it point to the project
Directory
, till now every thing is ok,
the problem is that Server.MapPath("/") returns "c:\inetpub\wwwroot" ???
i dont know why, while it works fine on site
i'm running IIS 5 on win2000 pro
thanks,
with my best regards

That is expected behavior. / is the root of your site, regardless of where
you are, so when that path is translated to the file system, it is where the
root of your site is. This is C:\Inetpub\wwwroot in a default
configuration.
../ would work for you.

I don't really understand your questions or what the issue is. Can you
rexplain or explain what's not working for you?

As stated by Ray Server.MapPath ("./") which is the path of the current
directory.
Server.MapPath("/") is the path of the root directory for the site. Your web
application could be anywhere under the root such as
c:\root\external\yourname\yourapp and it can't be machine independant.
Server.MapPath("~/") will give you the root of your application
(c:\root\external\yourname\yourapp) while Server.mapPath("/") will give
c:\root.
