It does, but not if IIS has parent paths disabled which most hosts do for increased security.]]> Sat, 09 Jul 2005 14:46:54 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/header-file-includes_topic15753_post86673.html#86673 <![CDATA[Header File Includes : ../ takes you up one directory...]]> https://forums.webwiz.net/header-file-includes_topic15753_post86666.html#86666 Author: dpyers

../ takes you up one directory level.

One of the problems with include file is that the deeper you go in your directory tree, the more ../ you need for a path.

With include vitual though, all paths are relative to the root.
So the same include virtual for  /filename.asp can be used toreference a file in the root regardless of where in the directory treethe file is located - you don't have to worry about counting ../'s.
For files in directories, it would just be /dir1/subdir/filename.asp -again, the same path to the file is used regardless of where in thetree you use the include virtual.

Include file is outdated. Borg uses it for compatibility with ASP 2.0and older OS's. Any webhost running ASP 3.0 - which comes with OS'sfrom Win2K on - will have include virtual support.

I thought ../ takes you straight to the root.
 
Guess i was wrong then.
Thanx

header.asp is in the /forum/includes directory which is 2 levels downfrom your root. the forum floder is only one level down. You need toadd another ../ to back up the additional level.]]> Fri, 08 Jul 2005 12:14:56 +0000 https://forums.webwiz.net/header-file-includes_topic15753_post86635.html#86635 <![CDATA[Header File Includes : 1.

1. I tried the include virtual but it didnt work. What I dont get is that why does it only look into the forum folder and not the root directory, and why does include file works with ad folder placed inside the forum folder, while the same does not work with include virtual?

2. I solved this upload problem by reuploading the upload page.
 
Thanx for the reply.

1. Use include virtual
2. Do you have uploads enabled and the paths set up properly in the admin section?

I just started using WebWiz forum and have encountered several problems.
 
1. I placed some HTML in the header file and a server side include that goes like this <!--#include file="../ad/link.asp"--> and it cannot find the file place under the root directory. But when i place the "ad" folder inside the "forum" folder, it worked without a problem.
Why does it do that? My "forum" folder is not a sub-domain or sub-web, and links such as "../scripts/default.asp" that are placed in header.asp all work fine.
 
2. Also, in the registration page, the upload avatar page cannot be displayed or found. Does this have something to do with ASPUpload objects?
 
Thanx.
