problem with virtual directory

[dharkangel]

Hi,

I created a virtual directory in IIS on a Windows 2003 server called 'myFiles'. I cannot get the <!--#include virtual--> tag to work..

If I do this: <!-- #include file="/myFiles/SimpleChart2_1_VB.inc" -->

The include file '/myFiles/SimpleChart2_1_VB.inc' was not found.

The .inc file definitely is in the directory that I designated as the virtual directory.
Same thing if I use this syntax: <!-- #include file="\myFiles\SimpleChart2_1_VB.inc" -->

What am I doing wrong?

do this:

<!-- #include virtual="/myFiles/SimpleChart2_1_VB.inc" -->

I received the same exact error 'The include file '/myFiles/SimpleChart2_1_VB.inc' was not found.'

This 'SimpleChart2_1_VB.inc' files is actually in a physical directory called 'includes' that I desisnated as the virtual directory with an alias of 'myFiles'.

When I go to IIS Admin, I can see the virtual directory called 'myFiles' it has a 'gear' looking icon. When I click on it, I can see the 'SimpleChart2_1_VB.inc' file listed. I even put a regular 'test.asp' file with a few lines of text, same error.

This is the exact page I read in order to get the syntax down correctly. Maybe I did something wrong with setting up the virtual directory. I'll post my question in the IIS forum. Thanks.
