I've got this mod in use in my forums and it works well


However I need to use it in a slightly different way for part of our forum so thought it would be a nice simple idea to duplicate the files and change their names slightly to keep the original files as they were, and then to have the second renamed set which I can then customise for the new purpose - it should be easy enough I thought.

The problem is when a link is clicked to bring up the renamed 'pop_upload_new.asp' - it displays correctly.
However when the form entry is then sent to the renamed 'outputFile.asp' it results in a HTTP500 error.

All three files in the mod have been renamed as such:

pop_upload_new.asp to pop_upload_new_ads.asp
outputFile.asp to outputFile_ads.asp
upload.asp to upload_ads.asp

There was one reference to the outputFile.asp file in the pop_upload_new_ads.asp file which I have changed to outputFile_ads.asp

There was one reference to uploads.asp in outputFile_ads.asp which I changed to uploads_ads.asp

and one reference to pop_upload_new.asp in outputFile_ads.asp which I have changed to pop_upload_new_ads.asp

All in all I cannot see why it should not work and yet if I use the files in their original names it does work, so it has to be something connected to the file name change, doesn't it?

You missed the include.

Line 1 of outputfile.asp

Nope, got that one:

<!--#include file="upload_ads.asp"-->
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="config.asp" -->
<%

It's got me baffled as it should have been so easy :)

Then it has to be a permissions issue. Make sure the additional area has write permissions set for IUSR, IIS_IUSRS, & NETWORK SERVICE.

I've double checked all the permissions for the 'uploaded' folder, it is the same folder that I am using to upload to with the first (original) lot of files

I've just run the files through Firefox and it resulted in this error:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a004c'

Path not found

/forum/outputFile_ads.asp, line 57



Lines 55,56 & 57 read in outputFile_ads.asp:

55  'Create and Write to a File
56  pathEnd = Len(Server.mappath(Request.ServerVariables("PATH_INFO")))-14
57 Set MyFile = ScriptObject.CreateTextFile(Left(Server.mappath(Request.ServerVariables("PATH_INFO")),pathEnd) & SUBFOLDER & "\" & filename)


..which are identical to the original outputFile.asp file
and using the original files it works

Between lines 56 & 57, insert this, let's see what the values show:


Response.Write pathEnd & "=pathEnd<br />" & SUBFOLDER & "=subfolder<br />" & filename & "=filename"

It returns:

56=pathEnd
uploaded/Dave=subfolder
20134972118_wotno.jpg=filename

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a004c'

Path not found

/forum/outputFile_ads.asp, line 58



The folder exists and can be written to. The image didn't upload to the folder though

Your problem is in the forward slash after "Uploaded", it has to be replaced with a backslash.

Use this command before line 57:

subfolder=replace(subfolder,"/","\")

Hi Carefree, it still returns:

Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a004c'

Path not found

/forum/outputFile_ads.asp, line 57


I tried swapping the Form Action to point to the original outputFile.asp file and it works then, however simply adding a '2' to the end of the original file name (ie outputFile2.asp) and changing the Form Action to outputFile2.asp causes the above problem..

I cannot see any other reference to the original file name in either the outputFile.asp file or the upload.asp file, so once again am baffled

That makes no sense to me, either. I'll test it here.

Hello Webbo,

What happens if you change line 57 to the following:


Set MyFile = ScriptObject.CreateTextFile(Left(Server.mappath(Request.ServerVariables("PATH_INFO")),pathEnd) & strUploadUrl & "\" & SUBFOLDER & "\" & filename)


Not sure if it would work, but I found that I needed to add the strUploadUrl for one of my sites.
Cheers,

David Greening

Hi Webbo, I worked it out for you, simply replace you outputFile_ads.asp with the below:

<!--#include file="upload_ads.asp"-->
<!--#INCLUDE FILE="config.asp" -->
<% 

subfolder = "uploaded"
iconimage = "images/icon_paperclip.gif"

  Response.Expires=0
  Response.Buffer = TRUE   
  Response.Clear
 
  byteCount = Request.TotalBytes
  RequestBin = Request.BinaryRead(byteCount)
  Dim UploadRequest
  Set UploadRequest = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
  BuildUploadRequest  RequestBin
  membername = UploadRequest.Item("memberName").Item("Value")
  subfolder = subfolder & "/" & membername
  contentType = UploadRequest.Item("blob").Item("ContentType")
  filepathname = replace(UploadRequest.Item("blob").Item("FileName"),vbNullChar,"")
  filename = Right(filepathname,Len(filepathname)-InstrRev(filepathname,"\"))
  oldfilename = filename
  filename = Year(Now) & Month(Now) & Day(Now) &  Hour(Now) & Minute(Now) & Second(Now) & "_" & filename
  
  ' --- CHECK FILE FOR ACCEPTABILITY ---
if oldfilename = "" then
	response.redirect "pop_upload_new.asp"
else
  	extension = LCase(Mid(filename,InStrRev(filename,".")))
end if

select case extension
	case ".jpg", ".jpeg", ".gif", ".zip", ".doc"
	allowFile=true
	case else
	allowFile=false
end select

  If allowFile and byteCount <= 80000 Then
  
  value = UploadRequest.Item("blob").Item("Value")

  'Create FileSytemObject Component
  Set ScriptObject = Server.CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
  memberPath = (Server.MapPath("uploaded") & "\" & membername)
    If not ScriptObject.FolderExists(memberPath) then  
	 	ScriptObject.createFolder(memberPath)
  	end if  

  'Create and Write to a File
  pathEnd = Len(Server.mappath(Request.ServerVariables("PATH_INFO")))-18
  Set MyFile = ScriptObject.CreateTextFile(Left(Server.mappath(Request.ServerVariables("PATH_INFO")),pathEnd) & SUBFOLDER & "\" & filename)
 
  For i = 1 to LenB(value)
	 MyFile.Write chr(AscB(MidB(value,i,1)))
  Next
  MyFile.Close
  
  If byteCount < 1000 Then
    strFileSize = Round(byteCount,2) & " Bytes"
  ElseIf strFileSize < 1000000 Then
    strFileSize = Round(byteCount/1000,2) & " KB"
  Else
    strFileSize = Round(byteCount/1000000,2) & " MB"

Or simply revert back to the one that you had the issues with and rather than the following, add an extra 4 to the number 14 so it is 18:

pathEnd = Len(Server.mappath(Request.ServerVariables("PATH_INFO")))-14


So it looks like this at line 51:

pathEnd = Len(Server.mappath(Request.ServerVariables("PATH_INFO")))-18


I trust that this will work for you.

Excellent, it works

What is the significance of the Len statement then, ie what did it do or not do ?

The len statement specifies the LENgth of the string (in this case, the file path). When you added the "_ads" to the file names, you made the string 4 characters longer.
