    Anyone know how this error can be fixed?

    "Server.MapPath() error 'ASP 0172 : 80004005'

    Invalid Path

    /Album/photo_upload_post.asp, line 34

    The Path parameter for the MapPath method must be a virtual path. A physical path was used. "

    Couple things can cause this error

    1) Permission is not valid, ie. anonymous user do not have change permission

    2) Path is wrong

    If this doesn't help, please post your code.

    Server.mappath gives you the fysical path of the virtual path you provide it

    for instance, Server.MapPath("test/myfile.asp"), might return you c:\inetpub\wwwroot\MyWebsite\test\myfile.asp.

    so, if you provide allready a physical path to this method, it will give you an error, since he cannot map that.

    If this was not the case, please post your code !
