File path discrepancy in ASP.NET when hosted in GoDaddy

Dear All,

I need your support to solve a discrepancy in the file path in my asp.net c# project.

I am inserting image into project solution folder and the filepath also inserting to database. The project already hosted in GoDaddy.com

After insert, my local folder path to table is like this:-

D:\10 Apr 2019\16 Apr\Master Source Code 11 Apr 2019\uploadedimages\Tulips_233.jpg

when rrunning the site in host server, image not showing( no error when debugging)

On the other hand, when I running the same project in visual studio local host, image saving and retrieving is working properly.

Somewhere i saw the path from hosted server. It is like below

G:\PleskVhosts\llc.com\llc.com\uploadedimages\251038

Dear All,

I have rectified this issue by using WebClient. See the code below:-

WebClient webcl = new WebClient();
webcl.Credentials = new NetworkCredential("myusername", "mypassword");

Thank you all for the support.

Dear Madan,

I have tried to insert image by using the path before. Not working.

correct godaddy people are assisting you properly , what i am sugesting you
take the file or image and saved to you local folder and most important thing is save the file name into database (save only file name ) example download.png
retriving
http://llc.com/uploadedimages/download.png
format will be like
domain_name/foldername/filename
if it helps mark as answer.

Dear Amit & Madan,

Thank you for the support.

Let me explain things littel bit more detail.

The path while upload and save image is D:\10 Apr 2019\16 Apr\Master Source Code 11 Apr 2019\uploadedimages\Tulips_233.jpg( the same path inserting into the table based on PK ID)

But when we contacted GoDaddy support, they given us different root path:- http://llc.com/uploadedimages/251038_2.jpg. I gave this path in the code and images retreiving is working now. So that part done.

But there is another issue. I cannot insert into the filepath in hosted folder. The below error is coming:

The SaveAs method is configured to require a rooted path, and the path 'http://llc.com/uploadedimages/' is not rooted.

I am using asp:fileupload to browse & save. below is the c# code:-

fileUpload.SaveAs("http://llc.com/uploadedimages/");

domainname/uploadedimages/filename.extension

Hi, I think access permission is not given to that folder where your images are stored. Lease go on live server give it's permission to every user. I think it will work properly.

very simple this is issue not related to your coding

Please login into your "GoDaddy" , go to you files (where you uploaded )

find the "uploadedimages" folder and give write permision to that folder properly then your issue wiil b fixed

i have faced this issue many times .

if it helps please accept my answer
