I'm trying to Log some info-type messages from my app and keep getting a Server error.

I'm trying to Log some info-type messages from my app and keep getting a Server error. What is the pathname I would use in my app if the Log.txt file resides in my root?

Thanks in advance.

this is the last code I tried. It doesn'tgenerate an error, but it isn't writing to my Log file. I know it is writing 'somewhere' because I change the pathname when developing on my machine and it works fine.

I'm not sure why the 'lnk' extension gets added when I upload a .txt file to my root??? Is that part of the problem??

Thanksfor your patience.

mypath = "e:\web\jpavelkaorg\Log.txt.lnk"


Dim filex As New IO.StreamWriter(mypath, True)


filex.WriteLine(OutStr)


filex.Close()

 

UseServer.MapPath("Log.txt") for path

i.e

mypath = Server.MapPath("Log.txt")




Dim filex As StreamWriter


filex = New StreamWriter(mypath , True)


filex.WriteLine(OutStr)


filex.Close()

this is embarrassing. I can't get anything to work. It looks like VS 2005 doesn't support server.mappath. I tried HostingEnvironment.mappath("Log.txt") and it tells me a virtual path isn't valid here. I'll keep trying things. If you have a light-bulb come on. Feel free to teach me some VB.NET.

Thanks,

You mean your VS 2005intellisense is not show up Server.Mappath?Are you getting any kind of error?

vs 2005 does support server.mappath. If you could paste us some code to see how you are using it. Please paste the whole page wtih server.mappath in it.

Also, could you be using c#? If so, then Server.MapPath is case sensitive.

The only 'server path' I see in the Account Info is "e:\web\jpavelkaorg\htdocs"

my file 'log.txt' is in my root. does this mean the path to the log is

e:\web\jpavelkaorg\htdocs\log.txt ?? I can't get this to work. what am I missing.

thanks in advance.
