Domain physical path

[bcandy]

Hi there

I am in the process of setting up a forum, and need to edit the web.config file to indicate the two properties below:-


<!-- Fully qualified URL to the forums skin directory -->
<add key="InstantForum_SkinURL" value="http://www.thecardiffdevils.com/forum/skins/"/>

<!-- Full physical path to the forum skins directory on your server -->
<add key="InstantForum_SkinPath" value="c:\inetpub\wwwroot\instantforum34\skins\"/>

Obviously I have answered the first one, but what would my physical path be?

Thanks in advance

D:\hshome\ftplogin\domain.com\instantforum34\skins\

Thanks for the prompt reply... that sorted that one out )

anyways, it's recommended to use a command to get the path in case your site is moved. in Classic ASP this is done with Server.MapPath(). I'm not sure how it's done with .Net though

Use any of these (C#):

Request.PhysicalApplicationPath+@"\forum\skins"

Or

Server.MapPath ( "/forum/skins" )
