File path

[wpahiker]

I have a file located in the /kta/files directory and a script in the /kta/cgi-bin directory. On my form I refer to the script as /kta/cgi-bin/AlertShow.cgi, and in the script I refer to the file as:

dbmopen (%ALERTS, "/kta/files/AlertDB", 0644)

My script can't seem to find the file (no alerts are displayed). When I had the file in the cgi-bin directory and referred to the file as "AlertDB" everything worked fine. All I did was move the file and change the path on the dbmopen, any idea what the problem is?

Thanks,

Mike

AlertDB.pag and AlertDB.dir must reside in the same folder. Did you move one and not the other?

[wpahiker]

Nope, both are in the same directory, both have the same permissions (644).

OK, how about this:

"../kta/files/AlertDB"

[wpahiker]

Bingo! I didn't try it because starting with a / should start me at the top of the directory pool. Odd. Thanks.

You're welcome.
