Include file not accessible in classic asp IIS 7.5 Windows Web Server 2008 R2

Question

I am trying to run asp app with IIS 7.5 in Windows WebServer 2008 R2. I am getting the following error

Active Server Pages error 'ASP 0126'

Include file not found

/VD/default.asp, line 2

The include file '/inc/abc.asp' was not found.

I am using the following tag to include

<!-- #include virtual="/inc/abc.asp" -->

I also tried enabling the parent path and using the file="..\inc\abc.asp"

I have also created a new app pool for classic asp with .Net Version = No Managed Code Managed Pipeline Mode = classic

Still not able to include asp file

Answer 1

I was using default web site and created Virtual Directory under that site. The default web site was pointing to c:\inetpub\wwwroot The VD was pointing to totally different path eg C:\Myproj\Web

Some how the virtual in the below line was pointing c:\inetpub\wwwroot and not C:\Myproj\Web [include virtual="/inc/abc.asp"]

hence it was not finding the inc folder.

I removed the virtual directory and used only the site..and give the site path as C:\Myproj\Web.
