Re: UNC path support in WebDNA 5.0

It keeps the original formatting. numero = 49060
interpreted = N
texte = FYI... Recently I tried to get WebDNA to process files on another drive(d:\...) but had no luck. Also, WebDNA has special processing for the rootfolder / symbol (although under Windows it is annoyingly handledincorrectly). I doubt it will work with UNC names.-Chris-----Original Message-----From: John Peacock [mailto:jpeacock@rowman.com] Sent: Monday, March 31, 2003 12:32 PMTo: WebDNA-Talk@talk.smithmicro.comSubject: RFE: UNC path support in WebDNA 5.0I am in the midst of setting up a new server, and I would very much like to store my web site files on a Network Attached Storage device (networked hard-drive). I find that although WebDNA 5.0 is correctly handed thefilename by the web server, WebDNA is not able to open the template. I suspect thisis because of the forward slash '/' vs backslash '\' issue with filepaths underNT/2k. There are system calls to translate the unix-style filename toNT-style filename prior to access, so this should not be a difficult task.I am aware of both the security concerns and the necessity to run the dbserver.exe service under a specially designed domain account in order to access the files properly.
