that references an included file in a folder that uses a parent path: In several earlier versions of IIS, parent paths were enabled by default. In IIS 6.0 the default behavior changed to disable parent paths, and this was done for security and design reasons: by preventing the execution of parent paths, you are preventing the inclusion of content across security or application boundaries. By default, class ASP the '..' characters are not allowed in the path parameter for the mappath method. script error messages are not sent to the Web browser, and any attempts to use parent paths will return the following error message to a Web browser: An error occurred on the server when processing the URL.

Support Tickets Contact Knowledgebase Home » Item #777 Error: 'Disallowed Path Characters' Item: #777 Date: 11 Feb 2004 Applies to v5v6 QuestionI installed the shop on win2003 IIS 6. I can add products and categories but when trying to delete them I get the following error:Server.MapPath() error 'ASP 0175 : 80004005' Disallowed Path CharactersWhat is the error and how do I rectify it? AnswerThis issue occurs because the script doesn't have access to parent paths. In IIS 6 (in windows 2003 servers) this security setting is enabled by default.If you have access to the server, you can change this in the IIS setup:Open IIS Manager, right click and choose properties on your virtual directory or website root of CactuShop. Click the Home Directory or Virtual Directory tab and click 'Configuration'.Click the Options tab and check the "Enable parent paths" setting is enabled.If you do not have admin access to the server, and your host will not change these settings, you can do the following:Ask the host the full path to the directory where your Access database is. It should be something like C:/inetpub/wwwroot/mysite/data/cactushop6.mdbIn the config.asp, enter this path for the strPathToDatabase settingIn the strDataSourceName line, remove the 'server.mappath' part.This should then map directly to the file rather than resolving the path dynamically. One side effect is that the back end 'backup database' and 'compact database' functions may not work, meaning you would need to use FTP to accomplish these maintenance tasks.
