texte = As John mentioned, the behavior of WebDNA running on IIS, regarding the '/'root prefix, is different then with WebDNA running on other UNIX platforms.This does cause some inconvenience when migrating a web-site from UNIX toWindows. There is one possible work-around that may help:If you are running WebDNA version 5, or later, on a Windows platform. Youcan create a WebDNA Sandbox entry for your site, using the 'root' path ofyour website as the sandbox path. WebDNA templates running from inside ofthe sandbox path will treat the '/' prefix as relative to the sandbox path(and not the WebCatalogEngine folder). There are other benefits with theWebDNA sandbox feature. I recommend you create a WebDNA lab, and view theSandbox tutorial.-----Original Message-----From: WebDNA Talk [mailto:WebDNA-Talk@talk.smithmicro.com]On Behalf OfAlex McCombieSent: Friday, November 12, 2004 10:10 AMTo: WebDNA TalkSubject: 2003 include path issueA client just installed the developer version on a 2003 server.
