I have a web applicattion containing a web photo gallery control. It worked
great on my local web server. Once we put it on the actual web server, at
first it didn't work. Then we put the bin directory containing this web
control outside the root folder, and it worked, but the thumbs aren't
visable, although the provider has issued the write-permission on the thumbs
folder. I think something should be wrong with the folder structure, but
can't imagine what it can be? Any idea please?

many thanks in advance
 
Gita,

Are you sure that the ASPNET local user has permissions to write to that
folder? Also, it's a bad idea generally to write code to that directory.
If anything, you should have a specific directory that you use for writing
your thumbnails.

Hope this helps.
 
Hi,

This can be one of two things ( or both)
Make sure that you create a new application in IIS, if you just copied the
entire folder from your machine to the server probably you forgot that, go
to iis, right click on the folder name , properties and create the
application

also check if you have write permission in the folder, but I think that this
is not the issue cause you would get an exception in this case.

cheers,
 
Actually, I have just copied the entire folder from my machine to the
server. I'm not an advanced user and don't know how to create the
application :-( Would you please kindly explain me more about this issue? I
will go to my iis and right click on the folder name/prorerties but don't
know how to create the application ...

many thanks, Gita
 
hi,

Go to IIS , click on the default web server, you will see the directory
structure on the right, right click on the folder where you copied your
application and select Properties, in the lower part you will see a
"Application Settings section, just click on the "Create" button, you can
leave all with the defaults, except maybe the default page which you can
change by selecting the Document tab

cheers,
