physical path to folder - 8/27/2006 16:42:21
I have several sites all hosted on the same server and they all link to a database on one of the sites using a physical connection
something like...
Application("thedata_ConnectionString") = "DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)};DBQ=F:/secure/m/mywebsite.co.og/fpdb/database.mdb"
I also display image files from another folder in the root of "mywebsite"
At the moment I use a url link
src='http://mywebsite.co.og/imagefiles/
Can I make a direct path to this folder.
If I try
src='F:/secure/m/mywebsite.co.og/imagefiles/'
I get
file:///F:/secure/m/mywebsite.co.og/imagefiles/
I am using FP2003 on a windows server

If it's an ASP page, you may be able to use the server.mappath command. Something like this:
<%=Server.Mappath("/images/myfile.jpg")%>
should give you the physical path to that file.
Or maybe I'm waaaay off and you just need to change the link from an absolute to a realtive one:
src='/imagefiles/myfile.jpg'
vs.
src='http://mywebsite.co.og/imagefiles/myfile.jpg'
Those any help?

No, I'll try to explain the problem differently
a page (asp) on domain website1.com
needs to display an image from domain website2.com
I know the physical path to both files and folders
I just can't get the image to display.
This is the problem
file:///F:/etc...
I don't want to use src=http:// (which works fine) as this would defeat the object. If this can't be done, then so be it.

I don't believe it can unless both sites use the same directory in a Virtual Directory configuration.
I've never tried that but in theory, it should work. Take a directory and "attach" it to both webs using a Virtual Directory setting. Then they could use the 'common' image.
Maybe?

okay, I'll see if my host will set up a virtual directory for me.
Thanks

My host has set up a Virtual Directory on the server.
This seems to be the best solution.
Thanks
