please check your uplaod settings within the admin area.. make sure that the path to the folder is correct, if you think it is add or take a / at the end as it may be that causing the problem

but i think it doesn't have a / at the end.

It did not have the "/" so I added it and got this error.

Error Type:
Server.MapPath(), ASP 0174 (0x80004005)
An invalid '/' or '\' was found in the Path parameter for the MapPath method.

More information:

Errored at a different line this time.

Here is line 77 thru 80 in the functions_upload script.

    If objFSO.FolderExists(Server.MapPath(strFileUploadPath & "\" & strUserFolderName)) = False Then

        'If the user dosen't have a folder create them one
        objFSO.CreateFolder(Server.MapPath(strFileUploadPath & "\" & strUserFolderName))

When I look in the folder there is a folder created for the user. The script created it.

Thanks again

Some servers are sesitive to whether you use '/' or '\'

Windows files paths as used in the server usually use '\'

if the server was sensitive to '\' vs '/' wouldn't it not have created the user folder? The script created the user folder but errors out when it tries to write the file it is uploading.

I changed the "/" to '\' and recieve this error

Error Type:
Server.MapPath(), ASP 0174 (0x80004005)
An invalid '/' or '\' was found in the Path parameter for the MapPath method.

Line 77 is before the folder is created and uses the FSO object to see if the folder already exsists.

Try editing the file functions_upload.asp and change any '\' to '/' and see if that solves your problem.

Also check your path to the upload folder is correct, it should be just 'upload'

I changed the '\' with '/' and no go. still get the error at line 77.

I have the path in the admin setup of the forum as uploads. I also tried /uploads and /uploads/

Still no success.

Here is what my functions_upload filelooks like.

Thanks for all the help. Any other ideas?
