I did some trace and found out it is caused by Google search crawler...

Traceroute

I did not. I am not sure why it happens, but I know the page is invoked by google search crawler.... Anybody knows how to fix it??? 

 The page in question (from the error in the application log) does not have any leading "..": http://as247gera.zikbay.com/ShowAd.aspx?id=3274

Seems this is some kind of bug in ASP.NET: http://todotnet.com/archive/0001/01/01/7472.aspx?Pending=true 

I have added this to web.config (suggested in http://communityserver.org/forums/p/476049/536640.aspx#536640). Let's see if it helps...

    <authentication mode="Forms">
      <forms cookieless="UseCookies"/>
    </authentication> 

When the page is being invoked by the Google search it probably is just calling a URL with no parms. Are you handling empty parms at all? Also see is you have any custom controls on your page which are built into DLLs. Review how they handle redirects if no parms supplied.

Do you have any Server.Transfer code there?

Hope this helps...

Hi Friends,

I found the solution for "Cannot use a leading .. to exit above the top directory".

This is the problem caused by master page.Suppose  your master page is in root directory and your content pages are in  subdirectory, then this problem will occur.

This can be avoided by placing copy of the master page(in the  root directory ) into the subdirectory or folder where the content pages are existing.

Now you make changes like the following code into the source file of the page:--

<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="main.master" Title="www.metamorfs.com" %>

inseted of

<%@ Page Language="C#" MasterPageFile="~/main.master" Title="www.metamorfs.com" %> 

This is the problem of  ASP.NET Version:2.0.50727.42.

If you have a better solution please explain better I'll gladly follow that.

Thank you, 

u are right but we need a better solution....

any body got an idea about this asp.net bug ??

For that error, how about, instead of the ../ to go to the root folder, use a / or a ~/.  This will ensure that regardless of which folder the master page and content page is it, it can consistently find whatever you are referencing.

If you are going to place a copy of your master page into othere places/folders you are going to end up modifying your code in two places. It is ok if you don't have much going on there but our websites have very complex Master pages and its not a good solution for us to copy the code.

By the way same thing happens to links like <a></a> on Master pages, they don't display correctly in sub folders. The solution is to make them all server controls by adding runat=server and  use tilda sign "~". That makes them render correct.

Question: Did you make changes to any code when it suddenly started happening? Think what code changes did you make...and you will find at least the place to look into.

Thanks,

Tatyana

I had the same problem with some of my pages but when i look in my codes i found "~/../../example.aspx"  this on HTML code, so i change it to "../../example.aspx" then it is ok

cheers !!!

I had this error when I was working with url rewriting. This is what I was doing;

I had a link like gigznmigz.com/jobs.aspx?JobID=69

And I rewrote like this

gigznmigz.com/jobs/69.aspx

I had my all files in the root folder their are no sub directories. So the problem occurs when i click some link on the page, then the browser looks for that file in /jobs/ directory, but there is no subdirectroy. Therefore it usually gives errors for script, html links. I was getting this error when i tried to signout from the urlrewritten page.

 This is how I solved the issue;

I rewrote my url like gigznmigz.com/job_69.aspx, now this is also considered as a page in the root directory.

I used '_' (underscore) instead of '/' (Slash).

Hope you get this.

Well, this is an interesting way of solving it and you have an interesting cause of the problem. We tried to re-write our urls a while ago but that didn't go through the approval because Marketing had all the links in their materials referenced. Anyway, glad you were able to solve the issue. It is very interesting to watch this post as the same error happens for various reasons in different situations

Good luck with your coding!

hi..

im doing url rewriting now..its urgent

actually the current url is below.
                 http://localhost/mysite_UrlRewrite/CompDesc/M/2.aspx

from this page for navigation, url should be like
                 http://localhost/mysite_UrlRewrite/Index.aspx

but it looks like after clicking the link
                 http://localhost/mysite_UrlRewrite/CompDesc/M/Index.aspx

how i've to move out of the folder.. from /CompDesc/M/
i tried the ~ for aquiring root directory..but it won't..

I'm somewhat familiar with URL rewrite techniques but it is really hard to tell what's wrong by the urls you posted here. I hope somebody else can tell. Sorry...

could you please provide the path you are using to redirect you page. According to me if you want to move from 2.aspx you UrlPath should be "~/mysite_UrlRewrite/inderx.aspx"
