Error: is not a valid virtual path.

Question

I used something like Dim i As String i = Server.MapPath("~/photos/") + fileName Only once in a project that was working and online, on the offline version, when I run it on my machine, its working, no errors, I uploaded it, it gave me an error like:

'~/photos/http://www.MyURL.com/photos/4411568359267Pic003.jpg' is not a valid virtual path.

Indicating a line in my code:

 var marker = new GMarker(new GLatLng(<%=coordinates%>));

This have never happened before, and I don't know where to start troubleshooting as this script -Google Maps- doesn't even need images, i tried to comment it out, it gave me the same error but on a different script this time, the one that show formatting toolbar for the text areas

Line 8:  new nicEditor({buttonList : ['fontSize','fontFamily','fontFormat','bold','italic','underline','strikethrough','forecolor','bgcolor','removeformat'], iconsPath : '../nicEdit/nicEditorIcons.gif'}).panelInstance('<%= txtDescription.ClientID %>');

..please HELP :'(

Answer 1

can you post your fileupload aspx page and your function so we can troubleshoot it. "'~/photos/http://www.MyURL.com/photos/4411568359267Pic003.jpg'" look closely at the url, it is tacking the full url on to "i". what type of control or you using, a generic or a server side control

Answer 2

solved, turns out the error is due to old database records when i was storing the whole path in the fileName...Thanks Joshua and Keltex
