Hi all. I have a custom module which works with no errors in my local machine but throws a "System.IO.FileNotFoundException" when the same module is ran on the website. The website is on a shared hosting with PowerDNN.  The error happens when I attempt to rename an image with a new name.  below is the code;
01.Public Sub CommitImages(ByVal tmpID As Integer, ByVal PostID As Integer, ByVal HomeDir As String)
02.           Dim aryTemps As ArrayList = getTempImages(tmpID, HomeDir)       
03.           Dim tImg As String
04.           For Each tImg In aryTemps
05.               Dim imgName As String = tImg.Substring(tImg.LastIndexOf("/") + 1)
06.               imgName = imgName.Substring(imgName.IndexOf("-") + 1)
07.               My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile(tImg, PostID & "-" & imgName)
08.           Next
09.          
10.       End Sub

The exact error I get is 'Could not find file 'C:\Portals\0\mmRentalListings\gallery\images\tmp3-buff.jpg'
The error happens on line 7. when I ftp to my site, I can see the image(s) exist. Again this method works on my local computer but not on my website. What gives? Is it because it's a shared hosting and I may not have access to C drive? If that's the case how should i do a rename?

thanks

Mackeny

At the hosting your files located in the different folder then at your local machine. This is why you got error FileNotFound. You should use relative Paths from the PortalSettings. For example:

Me.PortalSettings.HomeDirectoryMapPath + NameOfYourFile

Hope this helps.

 Sergey, that did the trick
I added

Inherits Entities.Modules.ModuleSettingsBase
to the class and then I changed line 7 to
My.Computer.FileSystem.RenameFile(Me.PortalSettings.HomeDirectoryMapPath & "mmRentalListings/gallery/images/tmp" & tmpID & "-" & imgName, PostID & "-" & imgName)

Thanks a lot
