Application with Lucene.net on server

Question

Hello everybody, i have a strange problem with my webapplication, it works on local host but not on our Server

after reducing the code to a minimum there's a runtime error by declaring:

Dim directory As Lucene.Net.Store.Directory = FSDirectory.GetDirectory("\1[...]9\search\Start\luceneindex")

i also tried other paths like 127 or just "luceneindex"

-I'm working with Visualstudio 08. - the right asp.net version is declared on the server -i "published" the website and put the whole file on the server - i created a reference to the lucene.net.dll and its in the \bin file [at local host] --> by putting the whole file on the server lucene.net dll is also there. It's a IIS server

Answer 1

You path seems invalid due to unescaped '\' character. You can fix it by:

Dim directory As Lucene.Net.Store.Directory = FSDirectory.GetDirectory("\\1[...]9\\search\\Start\\luceneindex")

or

Dim directory As Lucene.Net.Store.Directory = FSDirectory.GetDirectory(@"\1[...]9\search\Start\luceneindex")

or

by using Path.Combine() method.
