Include problem

[Floodster]

My site is running perfectly on my test machine but when uploaded I'm getting some errors (I have already posted some of them in this forum) but now I'm getting a new one which is;

Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0131'

Disallowed Parent Path

/includes/includes.asp, line 1

The Include file '../includes/gbl_functions.asp' cannot contain '..' to indicate the parent directory.

I'm a bit unsure as to if I need to change the way my include files are used on a live server. The code in my DW pages is;

<!--#include file="../includes/includes.asp" -->

Thanks

I think I have managed to fix it, I have changed all the includes to 'virtual' & this now seems to have cured it.
If this was the wrong thing to do could you let me know.

Cheers.

nope that would be the best way.

Many hosts disable the use of parent paths (disabled as default in Win2k3) as it can be a security risk

So long, and thanks for all the fish.
