include or use a file outside the we broot directiry.

Hello,

Is it possible to include a file in a web application which is outside the
web path (without virtual directory).
- Or use a file in SRC (html code) for example -

Language is ASP with IIS6.

for example :

physical web path application:
e:\myapplication.
= http:\\www.myweb.net


other directory, outside
d:\securitypath

how to include a file locate in d:\securitypath by using INCLUDE or for
example

Can i use serverpath ?

thanks a lot

have a nice day.

No. Ther server path is from the root of the web, so if it's not in
the web hiearchy you can't get to it. You need the actual path.

The major issue people run into is permissions. You may have to
specify the NTFS permissions for the file/folder manually. One thing
I do for example is put Access database fiels outside the web root. I
have a folder for them with the correct permissions, and all the
databases go there. This folder is off the drive root so I don't have
to worry about inherited permissions or anything.

Re: include or use a file outside the we broot directiry.

Sorry,

but i have a problem with this solution.
My web application directory is : e:\webapplication.
My other diectory is e:\base

I store a file, for example "file.inc" in the directory e:\base

From the default page of my application, i write
When i'm executing the application, i have this error --> Active Server
Pages (ASP) error 'ASP 0126'

I have established the full ntfs permission for the user IUSR_SERVER1. on
the directory e:\base.

Can you help me ?

Thanks fabrice
