Using Parent paths from one domain to another

[TheCandyman]

I'm using IIS6. I have two domains setup with parent paths enabled. I'm have problems using a DB stored in one domain in my second. I know IIS tried to seperate them into protected little worlds.

Site1
Uses file DB.mdb

Site2
Tries, ../../DB.mdb

Permissions are set with IUSR_ on the file. I also even tried putting 'Everyone' with Read permissions for testing thinking that would surly work for test. Still nothing. Ideas??

../ simply moves up the folder structures


so ../../data.mdb would be trying to find the file 2 folders up from the current folder.

you will need to use the data folder above both sites and use ../data.mdb from both sites.

So your saying this wouldn't work?

From site2. ../../../site1/folder/DB/mdb

 

[ChrisHirst]

it would if the folder you are trying to access the database from was three folders below the site1 folder

as in

site1/
    |___ folder/
    |   |______DB/
    |          
    |
    |____folder/
         |____folder/
              |____ script running here

you probably need a structure like

|___DB/
|
|___site1/
|   |___folder/
|
|___site2/
|   |___folder/

bearing in mind from site1/ or site2/ you need ../db/ but from siteN/folder/ you need to use ../../db/

In your scenario, your safest method if you know the physical path on the drives to the mdb file, is to hardcode that into the connection data.
