Images Virtual Directory

I have asp.net applic on WServer 2003 accessing remote SQL data perfectly. A
field in table holds image file name. I can see actual image files from a
remote share in a VD which is sub to main site VD but cannot bring up images
in application. Path, set in web.config looks correct - CImages\. In applic
file name cannot be found even though can be seen -
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\VDName\CImages\filename. I guess problem is permissions.
Does subVD have to have specific permissions when accessed by main VD?
With thanks

Re: Images Virtual Directory

You can try Filemon from Sysinternals to determine if this is a permissions
issue on the local disk. Do you see anything in the event logs?

Re: Images Virtual Directory

Thanks for your suggestion. There is nothing in the event log. I am now not
so sure I have got path right as error is coming up
"c:\inetpub\wwwroot\sitename\subVD\Filename" which is expecting a local
sub-directory which of course it is not. How do I refer in the web.config to
a sub VD?
With thanks
