Parent directory..? 1

[kenjoswe]

Hi all,

I have a include file that I've used for years.
But now I'm shifting to a new server and it doesn't work.
The include file:
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="../System/ConnKundData.asp"-->
=================
Browser error:
Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0131'
Disallowed Parent Path
/SokGen/Kundstatistik/WebStat11.asp, line 1
The Include file '../System/ConnKundData.asp' cannot contain '..' to indicate the parent directory.
==================

What is wrong?

your server has turned off ../
Try <!--include virtual="system/connkunddata.asp"-->

}...the bane of my life!

try this:

1. Click Start, click Administrative Tools, and then click Internet Information Services (IIS) Manager.
2. Double-click your computer name in the left pane, and then double-click Web Sites.
3. Locate the Web site and directory that houses the ASP application.
4. Right-click the application site or directory, and then click Properties.
5. Select Home Directory, and then click Configuration.
6. Click Options, and then click to select the Enable Parent Paths check box.
7. Click OK two times.

Think carefully about the security consequences - then consider guitardave78's solution as an alternative
