RE: [WEB400] Package cannot find a file...

["Joel R. Cochran" <jrc@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Joe,

I put this code in a Servlet you can view at
http://www.vamanet.com:1550/info/servlet/CheckFilePathServlet
but I feel dumb because I don't understand it... where does this tell me I
should put the file?

The ServerRoot directive in 'QIBM/ProdData/httpa/conf/httpd.conf" is:
ServerRoot /QIBM/UserData/HTTPA

which does NOT match any path displayed in the above servlet.  And NONE of
the above represent where I actually put files/images/etc. in order to be
able to view them.

Hopelessly confused.
