Pure ASP Upload 3 has been working on my (shared hosting) server for a couple of years now without any problems. It's just stopped working though with the above error. The error suggests that the problem is caused by incSIP2Class.asp, line 520 - An invalid '/' or '\' was found in the Path parameter for the MapPath method. The line at 520 reads:

If InStr(newFilename, ":\") = 0 Then newFilename = Server.MapPath(newFilename)

I suspect that my hosting company has installed a server patch and this may have caused the issue. Any help or advice would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Hello,

Can you please paste the PAU3 code here?

Edited by admin.

Sorry, maybe i was not clear enough - we need the code that PAU3 generates on your upload page.

Server.MapPath() error 'ASP 0174 : 80004005'

Invalid Path Character(s)

\\NAS37ENT\DOMAINS\U\URMSTON.NET\USER\HTDOCS\GALLERY\../ScriptLibrary/incSIP2Class.asp, line 520

An invalid '/' or '\' was found in the Path parameter for the MapPath method.

And the URL reads as follows:

www.urmston.net/gallery/gallery_upload.asp?GP_upload=true&UploadId=565640189

Thanks Teodor!

Once again - please copy and paste the code placed by the PAU3 on this page:
gallery_upload_details.asp

You can find it opening Dreamweaver Code view.

Sorry, the ASP code for gallery_upload.asp follows, with the ASP code for gallery_upload_details.asp below that:

Can you please try to change:
pau.ScriptLibrary = "../ScriptLibrary"
with pau.ScriptLibrary = "/ScriptLibrary"

Hi Teodor,

I made the change to the gallery_upload.asp page as requested but it still gave me an error:

Set pau = new PureUpload
pau.ScriptLibrary = "/ScriptLibrary"
pau.ConflictHandling = "uniq"


Server.MapPath() error 'ASP 0174 : 80004005'

Invalid Path Character(s)

\\NAS37ENT\DOMAINS\U\URMSTON.NET\USER\HTDOCS\GALLERY\../ScriptLibrary/incSIP2Class.asp, line 520

An invalid '/' or '\' was found in the Path parameter for the MapPath method.

I also tried makign the path absolute and received a different error. I'm not sure if this helps though:

Set pau = new PureUpload
pau.ScriptLibrary = "www.urmston.net/ScriptLibrary"
pau.ConflictHandling = "uniq"

Server.MapPath() error 'ASP 0173 : 80004005'

Invalid Path Character

\\NAS37ENT\DOMAINS\U\URMSTON.NET\USER\HTDOCS\GALLERY\../ScriptLibrary/incPU3Class.asp, line 1647

An invalid character was specified in the Path parameter for the MapPath method.

Thanks!

Hi Teodor,

Did you make any progress with this? Thanks!

Hi Teodor,

Please can you give me an update? Thanks!
