The way IIS works on Windows 2003 is a vast improvement over Win 2000 and is allot more stable, with sites with bad scripting less likely to take down the whole web server. The performance is also better.


I completely agree -boRg-, I manage over 100 windows 2003 servers daily, and I've got to say that the system is a large improvement over 2000 server.  You say web wiz guide hosting is expanding, by any chance are they looking for new employees?  lol

Not at the moment, on the web hosting side, as the Windows 2003 boxes need so little attention that it only takes up a few hours, at most, of my time each month administering the windows 3003 servers once the server is setup.

Not unless you can work for free, the web hosting doesn't even cover the cost of servers for the the web sites already hosted and the dedicated server required for this site.

It's a posibility.  I'm skilled in remote management, and it would look good on my resume.

I've migrated the files to a win 2003 server and guess what?
As expected, there is problem with the mapping of the pathway.
 
The new server does not seem to allow the " ../ " command for the virtual pathway. Did I miss out something here?
 
I tried using the physical directory and guess what? It worked.
 
But because I have other scripts using the virtual path, i still encounter errors and can't get them to work. The alternative would be of course to make changes to the script so that it will use the physical path but I don't know how ...
 
Example:

Set adoCon = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") connstr="DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("../../db/XYZ.mdb")adocon.Open connstr

If I were to modify it to use the physical path, what do I do with the above section of the script? Or am I too presumptious to just change this section?

Help!

Remove the part that says:-

 Server.MapPath

Then just change it to the physical server path.

Set adoCon = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") connstr="DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ=" & Server.MapPath("../../db/XYZ.mdb")adocon.Open connstr

Taking away & Server.MapPath Do you mean the edited script should read something like this:

Set adoCon = Server.CreateObject("ADODB.Connection") connstr="DRIVER={Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb)}; DBQ="C:\webspace\XYZ.com\db\XYZ.mdb" adocon.Open connstr
