| Hi, I've just installed the free version of PageBlaster and followed the instructions in the read me (i.e. copy DLLs to site bin and config to site root). I changed the path to first a valid virtual directory and then a physical directory and got this error in both cases: "Absolute path information is required". I've seen someone else in this forum with a similar problem, but that seemed to be related to using PB with DNN. Any ideas? Dave | | | |

| Hi Dave,
So you are using it on an ASP.Net site that is not DNN? That should work, but you will need to make sure that you have write permissions for the cache-folder granted to the anonymous web user. It was the cache-folder setting that you changed correct? | | | |

| Yes, ASP.NET without DNN.
Yes, I did change the cache-folder setting and gave permissions to that folder for both the Network Service (which the app pool is running under) and the anonymous (IUSR) account. | | | |

| Are you getting any kind of stack trace / more information about where the error occurs in the code?
There may be more information in the server's event log. | | | |

| | Ok, It's needing the config-folder. You can set that to the same path as the cache folder if you like. | | | |

| | Right now my Snapsis.PageBlaster.config file is in the web root (one level up from the cache-folder folder). Where do I set the config-folder? | | | |

| The Snapsis.pageBlaster.config should be in the root like you have it. There should be a an attribute in that file named "config-folder". It needs to be set to a folder in the website where config files (other than the main Snapsis.PageBlaster.config) can be written to. The error above is actually looking for a file called ResourceLocationTable.config which is a mapping table for virtual paths. The reason it is erroring is because the config-folder attribute is either not set, or it is set to a path that can't be resolved.
I have to admit that this component is probably not used much except in DNN, so some of the configuration may not seem straight forward. | | | |

| Thanks for your response, John. I don't see a config-folder setting in the snapsis.pageblaster.config file (see below). I assume it will be safe to simply add this setting, however I just want to make sure this config file isn't missing anything else important. Can you confirm that I just need to add a config-folder setting as an attribute of the pageBlaster element and that there is nothing else missing from my config. NOTE: I've excluded the excludePaths and providers elements.

| Yes, you can just add the config-folder attribute to what you have, and that list is all you need.
The config-folder attribute was something that was added later, but I thought I had the package updated to include that in the config.
Did you download the latest from this site? | | | |
