  Hi Tried the above and I got a series of errors which I've been correcting with other web resources. But I'm stuck on this one... [code]Server Error in '/TheHyde' Application. ________________________________________ Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Description: An unhandled exception occurred during the execution of the current web request. Please review the stack trace for more information about the error and where it originated in the code. Exception Details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object. Source Error: Line 22: Line 23: // add path to current context. Line 24: Context.Items["Path"] = settings.UrlFormatter.Decrypt(path); Line 25: Line 26: // set culture info Source File: d:\shares\Photos\TheHyde\Global.asax Line: 24 Stack Trace: [NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.] ASP.global_asax.Application_BeginRequest(Object sender, EventArgs e) in d:\shares\Photos\TheHyde\Global.asax:24 System.Web.SyncEventExecutionStep.System.Web.HttpApplication.IExecutionStep.Execute() +92 System.Web.HttpApplication.ExecuteStep(IExecutionStep step, Boolean& completedSynchronously) +64 ________________________________________ Version Information: Microsoft .NET Framework Version:2.0.50727.1433; ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.1433 [/code] It was suggested elsewhere to edit a line in settings.cs to be [localhost] rather than [localHeader], but that just spawned another server error. Any ideas? Cheers Hyde

    If you are using "http://server/TheHyde" then your host header in web.config should be "server".

    HostHeader is hostname of application, if you are testing this application on your local IIS then use localhost other wise use actual hostname like www.yoursite.com Make sure that host header if your site matches with corresponding settings in web.config.

    You probably do not have correct setup for tempPath directory. TempPath is the physical path of folder where application can create temporary thumbnails and images,application needs write access on this folder. Make sure that TempPath in your web.config file is correct and your application has read write access to that folder To know exact error that you are getting you can also rightclick ->viewimage to open image directly in browser

    AlbumPath is the physical path of folder containing photos, this folder can have any numbers of sub folders, just make sure that your web application has read permission on that folder. You have defined AlbumPath="C:\albums\ftp\memories" in your web.config you to change it to actual path that has your images.

    Change Host header in your web.config file from "localhost" to actual host header that you use to access your site from internet. you can alternatively also add another set of settings for internet which will make your site accessible from both internet and locally. (read section : Multiple applications under same source tree.) HostHeader is hostname of application, if you are testing this application on your local IIS then use localhost other wise use actual hostname like www.yoursite.com
