Disallowed Parent Path

Hi!

My brother is encountering this error on his asp project:

Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0131'

Disallowed Parent Path

/ASP/Sale.asp, line 39

The Include file '../_fpclass/fpdblib.inc' cannot contain '..' to indicate the parent directory.

Pardon me, I'm not knowledgeable on asp... :)

Thanks in advance.

think this is something particular to M$

anyway, to change this setting you can go to the Internet Service manager and 'Enable Parent Paths'. it is on the app options tab from the window that pops up when you go to home directory tab, then click the configuraton button.

cheers fellas

Thanks!!

I was looking for this.. :)

No problem...I don't even remember writing that post

:D

Hi

The error you mentioned is due to default setting of IIS 6.0
The best solution to the problem is to use absolute virtual paths from the root of the Web site instead of relative paths.

An alternative to using absolute virtual paths is to enable parent paths; however, this is not the preferred method
