I'm a complete ASP novice and with the help of code from Mr Wize in Sweden (http://www.mrwize.nu/Programming/asp.net-starter-kits/ ) managed to get the Personal Web Site Starter Kit mostly working with MySQL as the backend. I say "mostly working" because, while I can add and delete pictures and albums at the site, I can't view the pictures (with the exception of thumbnails for each photo album, which show up fine). My site is at ... www.peterklein.net. Does anyone have a sense for what might cause the picture-viewing problems? My only hunch is that my file paths aren'tsyntaxed right (the pictures in this starter kit tweak are stored as files, not stuffedinto a database BLOB, and no stored procedures are used). I'm not sure what routine(s) to hack. Thanks for advice.
I think the path is wrong. For example, for the test image, the HTTP reference in your page points to http://www.peterklein.net/~/Images/Albums/2/large-test.jpg but the correct image location is http://www.peterklein.net/Images/Albums/2/large-test.jpg I have not look much into the Starter kit's source code and can't give you much further help but hopefully my observation can help you. PS. Why bother use mySQL to drive the starter kit anyway? Bruce DiscountASP.NET www.DiscountASP.NET
Thanks for the help. I'll try adjusting the path. Why MySQL? Well, ultimately I want to configure the starter kit to use Oracle on a corporate intranet siteandsuccess with MySQL should translate easily enough to other databases. Additionally I'mvery fond of MySQL. Thanks again for your suggestions.
