Question

I recently moved an older store to a new server and installed CactuShop on win2003 using IIS 6. I now get the following error:

Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0131'

Disallowed Parent Path

/asp/default.asp, line 3

The Include file '../includes/config.asp' cannot contain '..' to indicate the parent directory.

I have also tried setting the full directory path but still no luck. Any ideas?

Answer

This is because the server option "Enable Parent Paths" is not checked. If you want generated pages to run, this server option must be enabled.

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.
