re[2]: [ACFUG Discuss] showing image from network share..how to?

[Mischa Uppelschoten ext 10]

If you don't make any changes, IIS will attempt to retrieve images from the share using it's default credentials ("Local System") and unless Everyone has read access (or better), that won't work. What has worked for me as far as troubleshooting in the past, is to try to browse that image straight from within IIS manager on that webserver. If there is a permission problem, it will show up right there and you have take CF and the browser out of the loop. /m     : ok so as Shawn suggested, :    : we have a virtual directory called VDocuments which refers to :  \\servername\nameofshare on a different machine and   :    : under this nameofshare we have folder CF_Chart_Share which contains the :  images, so technically website root level its /VDocuments/CF_Chart_Share. : now if my url is https://www.abc.com/ then I should be able to access images :  like this https://www.abc.com/VDocuments/CF_Chart_Share/test.jpg : but I am not able to do this. Browser says page cannot be displayed. Any :  suggestions on this. :    : Also in my earlier created code, i made changes to accomodate the virtual :  directory like this. :    : this page will show images thats all ....<br> : <cfset theFile = "/vDocuments/CF_Chart_Share/test.jpg">   : <cfif fileExists(theFile)> : File exists : <cfelse> File does not exist : </cfif> : <br><cfoutput>#theFile#</cfoutput> : <br><img src=""> : <br> : this will work great... : <br><br>end of testing : I get file does not exist from the cfif clause and also the image doesnt get :  displayed. :    : I could do the methods which worked before i.e. cfcontent in seperate file and :  then use the name of that file in img tag but problem is that the images are :  created for reports and have dynamic names so i cant keep on seperate file :  for every cfcontent/report. :    : Makes sense? :    : what could be wrong here in code? why the virtual directory is not working?
