Virual Include File Question 1

[SeanB]

I have a ASP page that has the following:
<!-- #include virtual = &quot;db_connection.inc&quot; -->
I forget but it says The include file 'db_connection.inc' was not found.

Where do I place the file? I do have the file under the page root does it need to be in the

http://wwwroot

directory? Thanks

for virtual, yes.

it checks your root directory, then goes up folders from there.

for file, it checks relative to the document that is including the <!--#include

Make a virtual directory(for example with web sharing from explorer on a desired directory) the put your file in that folder and in your ASP write this:
<!-- #include virtual = &quot;my_virtual_dir/db_connection.inc&quot; -->

What does include virtual do then include? ________

include virtual starts at the root of your web, then checks the directories from there, while file is only a relative path name.

say your directory structure is like so:

C:\

http://wwwroot

\Includes
\images
\newimg
\users

now assume that in folder users is a file with the declaration,
<!--#include virtual=&quot;includes/myinc.asp&quot;-->
This line starts from your

http://wwwroot,

then checks your /Includes folder for myinc.asp.
So in actuality, the full path it checks for is C:\

http://wwwroot\includes\myinc.asp.

Now say in folder users is another file with the declaration, <!--#include file=&quot;includes/myinc.asp&quot;-->.
This line checks relative to the calling file, so it will check relative to the users folder.
So in actuality, the full path it checks for is
C:\

http://wwwroot\users\includes\myinc.asp

Has anyone run into the issue of this same error message appearing even with the Include file copied into the directory? I have both the asp file and include file where they are supposed to be (I think) yet am still getting this error message:

Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0126'

Include file not found

/newsite/parentinvolvement/spanish/index.asp, line 148

The include file 'spanish_top.inc' was not found.

any help would be most appreciated. tia
