Re: Save image outside webapp in ASP

Yes, you can save it anywhere you want if you specify its path in the config.asp file, but then, how do you plan to use it if it isn't available as a url?

Re: Save image outside webapp in ASP

Thank you very much..now able to identify the problem.
Initially when page loads (http://www.myevals.net/ckfinder/ckfinde ... angCode=en) it is trying to creat "images" and "_thumbs" folders. Can we stop the creation?
Bcoz i have already uploaded images from the application to server2..i juz want to read and display those images in the ckfinder.html page..
Please explain where we need to change to stop creating folders and change of URL for reading the existing images.
If i want to change the folder "images" to "XXXX"...where i need to change.

Re: Save image outside webapp in ASP

You can change the folder for each resource type in its definition:

Set ResourceTypes(1) = DefineResourceType( _
   "Images", _
   baseUrl & "images", _
   baseDir & "images", _
   0, _
   "bmp,gif,jpeg,jpg,png", _
   "" _
   )

But you'll still need a folder for the thumbs.

Re: Save image outside webapp in ASP

still issue not solved..getting "Unable to create root folder".

I need to save images in windows storage server 2003. I have created virtual directory on windows 2000 server(application server) which is shared located in storage server. Currently we are using ASP Upload component for uploading images in other modules in the application and working fine.

if not(oCKFinder_Factory.UtilsFileSystem.FolderExists(currentFolder.getServerPath())) then
if ( clientPath = "/") then
dim ok
on error resume next
ok = oCKFinder_Factory.UtilsFileSystem.createDirectoryRecursively( currentFolder.getServerPath() )
if (err.number<>0) then
errorHandler.throwError CKFINDER_CONNECTOR_ERROR_CUSTOM_ERROR, "Unable to create root folder", "Error creating the folder: " & err.description
end if
on error goto 0

if not(ok) then errorHandler.throwError CKFINDER_CONNECTOR_ERROR_CUSTOM_ERROR, "Unable to create root folder", "Failed to create " & currentFolder.getServerPath()
else
errorHandler.throwError CKFINDER_CONNECTOR_ERROR_FOLDER_NOT_FOUND, "", "Folder doesn't exists " & currentFolder.getServerPath()
End if
End if

If your team is unable to understand my explanation..please let me know so that i can provide in more detail.
Please suggest....i hav dead lines from the client!!

Re: Save image outside webapp in ASP

Have you verified that the user has the correct permissions at the storage server?
What happens if you comment out that call to create the root folder? As you can see by the code it should try to create the folder only if it doesn't exist, have you verified that the configuration is right?, does currentFolder.getServerPath() point to the correct folder?
