Hey everyone,

I am using DSN-less connection on a Linux box. If only UD ran under Linux...sigh...

UD insists on using a relative link to the include file in the "Connections" folder, however, ChiliSoft doesn't like "../" in front of an include.

I can solve the problem by replacing the "include" with the actual connection string, but that breaks UD's Data Binding and is a pain when changing anything using behaviours or some extensions.

Another solution is to pretend the include file is in the same directory and create a symbolic link to the real location, but that means having the symlink in every directory - kind of ugly.

Anyone else come across this problem and how have you solved it?

Steve


Me? I can't even spell ASP!

Under PHP I can set the base directory for all included documents. Then when I refer to an included file I just use the filename. The base directory gets added to this transparently and there is no problem.

Can you do this under ChilliSoft ASP ? Maybe this would resolve your problem.

Have you tried Apache::ASP (it's free and Open Source), if you're using JavaScript as the scripting language it will make little difference to you. However, it won't work with VBScript.
