This is in relation to an old post in Dec 2007:
http://forums.webwiz.net/forum_posts.asp?TID=24744

My host has a separate folder on their server that allows uploads and so I must alter the path given in strUploadFilePath (in the setup_options_inc.asp file) (I get a 'Permission Denied' with the default settings)

strUploadFilePath = "../../../files/mydomain.com/uploads" 'This is the upload folder

Using this, I get a problem at the following line in functions_upload.asp:

lngFolderUserID = CLng(Right(strFolder, (Len(strFolder) - Instr(strFolder, "/"))))

The following error message appears at /RTE_popup_file_atch.asp?PB=Y :

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a000d'

Type mismatch: 'CLng'

/forum/functions/functions_upload.asp, line 715

Altering the following database field produces the same error:

update main_Configuration set
upload_files_path = '../../../files/mydomain.com/uploads'

How should I alter my code so that the correct path is provided and so that avatars and files are referenced and displayed correctly?

Cheers,
Alski

Changing the location of the upload folder often courses issues, even if you do get it to work IE will often re-write the URL to the images and files so that they are not correctly linked in posts.

You should leave the upload folder in it's default location and place a request with your web host that they grant read, write, and modify permissions on that folder.
