    On my local iis I have a virtual web for my application. I use server.mappath("/") which is c:/inetpub/wwwroot.

    Running the app on discouantasp.net results in path e:/inetpub/wwwroot/application.

    Why is this different, what can I do to have the same path on my local machine ??

    server.mappath function should give you the physical path to your root.

    if you use server.mappath across the board, you should not need to change your code between server

    I would recommend changing the drive letter on your local enviornment to get in sync. I faced a similar problem in ASP.NET. The good part was that I added a connection string entry in Web.Config file. I have two copies for each environment and does not need be changed.
    Saves me lot of double work.
