I have PWS set up on my laptop with Windows 98. When trying to run the server, I have a test ASP website which is stored in a folder above the root (wwwroot) Therefore I have... file/default.asp In the default.asp file I use the include method to put the header.asp into the top of my page. Yet my PWS Server can't find it - it says that "header.asp" is not found. What I suspect is that it is trying to look for the header.asp file in the root directory instead of the "file" directory. I have Directory browsing switched on in the control panel of PWS and it makes no difference. What can I do to solve this problem? |

As far as I know you must place everything in wwwroot or subdirectories of wwwroot.

I've done that - it's in a sub-directory of wwwroot, but it is asking for a file in the root of wwwroot, and not in the subdirectory where it is. |

sorry for leaving this on the back burner for the last couple of weeks, my include statement is as follows... <!--#include virtual="header.asp"-->

Would have to be <!--#include virtual="file/header.asp"--> as virtual always goes from the root of your website.. ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |

Ok, so is there any tag that can be used like say <!--#include file ? Another computer that I'm using doesn't have the above problem for me. |

It all depends how your web is set up. you can use <!--#include file="../folder/file.asp"--> which then starts from the location you are calling it... ------------- http://baumannphoto.com" rel="nofollow - Blog | http://mpgtracker.com" rel="nofollow - MPG Tracker |
