MVC :: Using A Virtual Directory To Specify Uploaded File Path?
Mar 18, 2010
I created a virtual directory in the Visual Web Developer, according to this post:
[URL]
I want the user to upload / download documents in the mvc app to that virtual directory. When a document is uploaded, I'm specifying the path to the document to be stored for later retrieval like so:
~/VirtualDirectoryName/FileContent.docx. But when I try to open that as a link in th app,using ResolveUrl, it appends the port number after localhost like so,[URL], I get a document not found, since it really should be, [URL].
My basic question is, can a virtual directory in IIS point to a physical path that's not on the local machine? For instance, right now I have a virtual path /NaturalGasReport/NYMEX which points to physical path C:Program Files (x86)NymexSettleNATGAS_REPORTNYMEX, but I want it to point to a physical path on a difference PC on the same network. Is this possible? (I know I can just try it out so I apologize for asking but I thought it would be best to get an explanation along with "yes" or "no"). If you want more detail, this is what I need to do. To make a long story short, because of a vendor product we are using that won't run on a 64-bit operating system, I have to run a program called Generate_NGReportData.vbs (it's a vbscript program) on a PC I will call 28. It uses a vendor product which produces jpg files which are graphs of the Natural Gas market. The machine where I wish it could run is called RTEST01 but this machine runs a 64-bit OS and the components won't work there. RTEST01 has the databases. So, I created a datasource on 28 which points to RTEST01's database. The vbs program will read the data, generate the reports, and write one row to a database table on RTEST01. RTEST01 has to run the complimentary program which sends these reports (via email). 28 is not an email server so it can't email the reports. So on RTEST01 I will run Send_NaturalGasReport.vbs. This program creates an email body of html. The html references [URL]NaturalGasReport/NYMEX/" & Day(nymex_update_dt) & ".jpg which is a virtual directory pointing to C:Program Files (x86)NymexSettleNATGAS_REPORTNYMEX. I need it to point to the folder and files on 28.So if my initial question has a simple yes answer then I am all set. If not, examine my architecture and propose an alternative solution.
To start with then we have a LinkButton whose text is actually an image tag. The image it links to is a Png and resides in a folder in the web directory. This is IIS V6 and win Server 2003.
The path is [URL]
Admin is a virtual directory configured in IIS.
The above url doesn't work but if you change it to [URL] (lowers case 'a') then the image is served, change it back to 'A' and it takes you to login, you log in and it loops back to log in. change to 'a' and voila the image is served. Weirdly this problem doesn't always occur and I have hunted for a resolution for days to no avail.
I am trying to profile the number of "Anonymous Requests" for an ASP.NET web application using perfmon. When I select this key, I have to pick a process of the form _LM_W3SVC_#_ROOT. How do I map the IIS metabase path back to the web application?
I have created a setup for my application which is having both website and desktop application. i m supposed to changes connection string in both the config files at runtime. i used following code :
I created a web setup project. When the users install it, the virtual directory gets created and all the files are created under "C:Inetpubwwwroot<myvirtualdirectory>".
How to customize the web setup project so that I can change the virtual directory physical path? I had followed the tutorial
[URL]
but it didn't work and my MSI stopped installing alltogether.
as it uses the relative path the http module is unable to understand the path and throwing following error
The file '/Root/Pages/Master/Site.Master' does not exist.
error occurred during the parsing of a resource required to service this request. review the following specific parse error details and modify your source file appropriately.
I would like to use HTML input file type in my aspx page to allow user to browse for a excel file and then read the content of the excel sheet programmatically.If I want to read the excel sheet I need the full path of the file to connect to the excel sheet using asp.net.I do not understand how can I get the full path of the file.I know I can get the filename using postedFile.FileName property.But I need the full path of the file.
how can we save the uploaded file path in to database and then retrieve it in gridview as a link so when user click on that it will open that file in browser.
i hv postback event executing after i am trying to upload a file to server to ask for conformation by the user. after postback fileupload control gets cleared and i am not able to get its value after postback. controls viewstateEnabled property is true. How do i assign a file path to fileupload control after postback.
I am running Windows Server 2008 Datacenter, ASP.NET 4, IIS 7 and getting the error :Access to the path <path> is denied when using the FileUpload control to save the uploaded file to this directory.I have given the directory in question full access to Network Service but that makes no difference.I have even given the directory full access to Everyone but it still gives the same error.Totally baffled by it
I have a web server with a web application and a website both on it (2 seperate entities within IIS7.0). The web application needs to be able to upload files to a virtual directory created within the same web server and the website needs to be able to view that virtual directory to be able to allow for downloading of those files.
This sounds really easy, but I cannot figure out how to do the upload and the download.
Example:
Virtual directory = own folder file structure (does not fall within either website/webapp structure)
Website - standard user for outside users.
Webapp - authentication requierd and only used by inside users.
Webapp users upload files to virtual directory Website users download files from virtual directory (i.e. open files)
I am really stumped on this. I have IIS setup on my local box, and a virtual directory pointed to the folder MapBuilder. IUSR and IWAM have been given full access. When I run this through web developer, everything works great. When I access it through IIS, the following error is generated:
[Code]....
The line of code that generates the error is:
[Code]....
If I change the code to use a virtual directory I get the same basic error on the Overview.Save call:
Over here I have created a folder with name Data inside my solution, so the Server.Mappath("Data") as well the statemet for converting assigning the src property of the IFrame I1 is working properly. But I want to use the files from a folder which resides in a network folder like
I am trying to upload a file Into a MapPath but I am getting a error 'C:/WebSite/userimages/' is a physical path, but a virtual path was expected. My code is:
I have a page where im listing out the files within a directory. How can i get the path to the files that are listed?
in other words, i want the path to the file to be like this:
http://server.com/files/pdfs/mypdf.pdf
but using this string url = Request.RawUrl.ToString(); returns [ http://server.com/files/pdfs/default.aspxMYPDF.PDF ]
That file is actually within a sub directory of the pdfs folder. So the link is obvisously not correct. Ive tried other suggestions found online, but those return the link like this [ http://server.com/files/pdfs/MYPDF.PDF ] again missing the subdirectory it actually belongs to.
I am trying to convert the virtual path to a physical path but don't seem to have Server.MapPath or HttpServerUtility.MapPath available in my handler. I add the System.Web namespace with no luck.
