I need your detail instructions since I am new. I am ready to upload my file to my isp and need your help with the following:
My ISP account has the following directory:
\bin

\cgi-bin

\images

\database

\private
I want to put my access data base in a save directory and I think I need to configure my code. Please help. I believe the database file must be stored in

\database directory. Please provide me with the code
In the ASP output directory. I have three subdirectories and asp files.

The directories are db, images, and include.

Do I need to upload whole files in each directory?

If so, where do I upload these files?

Then, I have asp files. where do I upload the asp files?
Thank you,
Lolo

Which directory is your WWW root?
I guess this is private, just need to double check.

No Those directories are under root directory
My ISP account has the following directory:
\htdocs - this is the root directory

\bin - \htdocs\bin

\cgi-bin - \htdocs\cgi-bin

\images - \htdocs\images

\database - \htdocs\_database

\private - \htdocs\_private
Thanks

I'm confused.

\database - \htdocs\_database


Which one is what?
What do you see when you connect to your Web hosting via FTP?

This is what I see when I log on.

htdocs is the root directory.

\bin, \cgi-bin and etc are subdirectories. There should be some indentation, but somehow this bulletin do not show it even I put some spaces. So, I use ---- to show indentation here.
\htdocs

---- \bin

---- \cgi-bin

---- \images

---- \database

---- \private

I see what you saying. What is strange here - database folder is not outside WWW root (htdocs).
Could you clarify this issue with your hosting provider?

It is outside root (htdocs)
The path of the databsae directory is

\htdocs\database

Thus, database is subdirectory of htdocs.
do I misunderstand you?

Please explain and let me know where database directory should be.

There are some correction. I did not copy some of them correctly.

There are under score bars in the beginning of directory name for the database and private. I dont know if this make difference and I dont quite understand what it means.
\htdocs

---- \bin

---- \cgi-bin

---- \images

---- \_database

---- \_private

The correct setup means your DATABASE folder should be on the same level as HTDOCS folder.
/htdocs

/database

/cgi-bin

etc ...

Please check your email.
I emailed you the absolute path of the database directory.
