Mats Cederholm Hi, all, does anyone know why Server.MapPath("http://www.mysite.net/SomeDirectory/SomeFile.aspx";) returns the result: C:\DirectoriesToInetPub\SomeDirectory\http:\www.mysite.net\SomeDirectory \SomeFile.aspx? Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? TIA, Mats /***************************************************************** Super soakers make great cat behavior-correction devices. *****************************************************************/ Reply to this message...        Timo Pijnappel the request may be to enter the physical Server Path. You must enter the full path to your servers path (eg. C:\inetpub\mysite\somedirectory\somefile.aspx) ----- Original Message ----- From: "Mats Cederholm" <Click here to reveal e-mail address> To: "aspngfw" <Click here to reveal e-mail address> Sent: Thursday, August 09, 2001 4:00 PM Subject: [aspngfw] Server.MapPath() [Original message clipped] Reply to this message...        Walter Knopf (VIP) The Server.MapPath doesn't like to have the protocal lumped in with the address, it just likes an address in web site tree. Just like in regular asp use: Server.MapPath("/SomeDirectory/SomeFile.aspx") assuming SomeDirectory is right below the web root.
