Re: Critical error: Cannot use a leading .. to exit above the top directory 

Hi Sabine,

Although I don't have much direct experience with the blog module, I can make one suggestion that will greatly increase your chance in our being able to identify your issue.  Go to Admin/Event Viewer and expand the exception that you need assistance with.  Paste this entire exception into the message.  Wtihout knowing the exact call stack for the problem you're having, it will be difficult to target the problem.

Hope this helps!

Brandon

Re: Critical error: Cannot use a leading .. to exit above the top directory 

I am getting the same problem installing 03.04 version ( I am using DNN 4.03.04). This is the full error message:

ExceptionSystem.Web.HttpException: Cannot use a leading .. to exit above the top directory. at System.Web.Util.UrlPath.ReduceVirtualPath(String path) at System.Web.Util.UrlPath.Reduce(String path) at System.Web.Util.UrlPath.Combine(String appPath, String basepath, String relative) at System.Web.VirtualPath.Combine(VirtualPath relativePath) at System.Web.HttpRequest.MapPath(VirtualPath virtualPath, VirtualPath baseVirtualDir, Boolean allowCrossAppMapping) at System.Web.HttpServerUtility.MapPath(String path) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.ResourceInstaller.PaDnnInstaller_V3.DeleteFiles(String FolderName, String Version) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.ResourceInstaller.PaDnnInstaller_V3.UpgradeModule(DesktopModuleInfo ModuleInfo) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.ResourceInstaller.PaDnnInstallerBase.RegisterModules(PaFolder Folder, ArrayList Modules, ArrayList Controls) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.ResourceInstaller.PaDnnInstallerBase.Install(PaFolderCollection folders) at DotNetNuke.Modules.Admin.ResourceInstaller.PaInstaller.Install()

Re: Critical error: Cannot use a leading .. to exit above the top directory 

There seem to be a couple of reasons why you may be getting this error.  The first relates to the way you have configured the alias for your portal.  See this thread for more details.

If this doesn't help solve the issue, it may be related to issues highlighted in this thread. 

One other thing I noted was that the minimum version listed for the blog module is 4.3.7.  Although, Sabine was getting the same error on a 4.8.0 installation of DNN, so it's probably not related but I thought I would mention it just in case.

Let us know if these threads don't help solve the issue.

Re: Critical error: Cannot use a leading .. to exit above the top directory 

Hello,

thank you for the replies!

The suggested solutions didn't fix the issue. The entry for the web.config is there and the name of the portal contains the "www".

Here is the event log:
