Invalid Path error

Hi, I'm using iplanet, but I'm sure the principle is the same for any server, ie. tomcat etc.
Using struts, there are certain urls (usually concerning .do extensions) that cause the server to complain - Invalid path /bal/bla was requested. These are genuinely bad paths, but the kind of thing that a user may accidentally enter.
Is there somewhere (in the web.xml?) that I can specify a catch-all page that the server will redirect to in the case of such errors? Remember it's not an exception of any kind, so the usual exception page thing doesn't work.

Dissapointing not to get any responses, I thought this would probably be quite straightforward.

Unable To Open Saved WI Reports in IE 9-Receive Invalid Path Error

I am unable to open any saved web intelligence report documents in Internet Explorer 9. When I select view or modify, the java report panel does not initiate but instead gives me an error stating "Invalid path /AnalyticalReporting/WebiView was requested". Everything works fine if I use Firefox 9. Is it a setting I need to change in internet explorer somewhere or is it a compaitibility issue?
I can create new web intelligence queries and reports in IE 9, but if I try to open a report that I saved, I get an error.

Hello,
If you are using the older version of BOXI in that case IE 9 is not supported. Please check your Boxi version which supports IE 9 or not.
Thanks,

Invalid Path error - Please Help !

I'm trying to setup a golden triangle with OS X 10.5.2 server, Windows 2003 AD and PPC/Intel clients running 10.4.11.
Their is no problem on the AD side - clients register in AD ok, network accounts log in, server is joined as well.
DNS - ping, changeip -checkhostname, lookups all work fine. DNS is hosted by Windows AD server. This LAN is not connected to the internet.
*I've joined clients to OD using the IP address or the name (polk.nwts.nara), they've authenticated OK when binding (set as required), but do not get their managed preferences.*
On the OD side, I created a group, set the preferences, and added the just joined workstation to the group. I rebooted the client, but none of the preferences showed up.
I opened a terminal window and did the following:
dscl localhost
ls
+this listed the directories+
cd LDAPv3
ls
+this listed my OD server+
cd myODserver
cd: *Invalid Path*
Starting Directory Access on the client, when I go to Search & Mappings and select a Record Type and Attribute, the search base is the same as on the server - cn=(record type), dc=polk,dc=nwts,dc=nara
Soooo - what am I missing? I believe this error is indicative of why the clients aren't getting their settings, but can't figure out where the problem is. BTW, I can start Workgroup Manager from a client and access OD.
Quick addenda:
Setup mac server using "advanced"
Joined it to AD domain, rebooted.
Made it an OD Master. Rebooted.
Kerberos is not started, have not added any records.
Created group and set managed preferences for this group.
Added clients by binding them to OD server. Added client to group.
Rebooted client.
Client authentication/contacts is AD first, then OD.

Assuming that you are on Windows, most likely your registry is pointing to an invalid 'My Documents' location.

Files deleted using RSC Explorer - now getting "invalid path" error msgs

Yesterday I deleted about 10 images from RSC because (1) they were no longer used in the help project and (2) RH had not deleted them from source control itself. Note: I did not just hide these files - I deleted them.
Today when I try to "get" the whole project, I get error messages for each of those files. Caption: RoboSource Error. Message: "Error - path '[path & filename]' is invalid."
Since these files are in various subdirectories of the project, and RSC refuses to continue getting the rest of the files after it encounters this type of problem, this means I now have to "get" the project directory by directory. Grr.
Ok, so RSC did not like me deleting the files from RSC Explorer. So how do I fix this problem? I tried adding the files back into RSC, but I get a different error message: "Error - node '[path & filename]' already exists." (Um, which is it -- is the path invalid, as claimed by the first error message, or does it already exist, as claimed by the second one?)
I don't know what else to try.
The other (less urgent) question is, if I can't delete old images from RSC Explorer, and RH doesn't see to it that unused images are deleted from source control, then how do I get unused images out of source control?
Any help would be appreciated -- especially quick help! :-)

We had already applied the 802 patch.
I don't remember now how I solved this problem (it was back in April I posted it), but it was probably by editing the root.fpj file.
Thank you for your replies!

Invalid path for Microsoft Word

I had set a path for Microsoft Word as below c:
serverip\B1_SHR\WordDocs\English, but I still get the "invalid path error".
Please advice

Hi,
I have set the path like this following and nothing happened:
C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One\WordDocs\English\
but when I try to use the path like you are using:
C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One\B1_SHR\WordDocs\
I've got the same error message with you.
So, one of the solution is to avoid using the folder B1_SHR. The path should be used different since every users will not probably export their file in one folder.
Although you find that there is excldocs folder in the B1_SHR and you success to export to excel , it won't be available there but it will available in this path:
C:\Program Files\SAP\SAP Business One\ExclDocs\
rgds,

Not a valid path error

I'm having trouble opening my pdf documents in the PDF reader touch app. It keeps saying "not a valid path" although adobe reader xi can easily open the files. The app has opened some of the same PDFs before and is giving me the error.

This is a tough one. We are still not able to reproduce the problem with your PDF files on our end. But I would really like to determine the root cause of the problem by asking you more questions.
Can you open any other PDF documents (not the PDFs that you got from a conference) successfully? Or do you see the invalid path error dialog for all of the PDF documents that you try to open?
Here, I am trying to determine whether the problem is file-specific. For example, the following page on the Adobe web site contains links to two PDF documents in the "How-to guide" section. Please look for the red 'PDF" buttons next to the links. Once you save the PDF documents on your Windows 8 desktop or in the Documents folder can you open them in Adobe Reader Touch without getting the invalid path error?
http://www.adobe.com/products/acrobat/pdf-file-password-permissions.html
What is your operating system? Windows 8 or Windows RT? Does it have all of Windows updates applied?
What is your system configuration? Is it a desktop, laptop, or tablet? Could you provide the model number?
What is your account type? Administrator or Standard user?
Another thing that you could try is to ensure that the Adobe Reader Touch is the default PDF viewer on your system.
FAQ: How to set Adobe Reader Touch as the Default PDF App on Windows 8
Once you do the above, could you locate other PDF documents in Microsoft File Explorer and double-click or double-tap to open them?
And finally, would you reboot your system? Silly as it may sound, rebooting the system often makes "weird" problems go away.
Thank you for your help and patience, vangadi78!

PL/SQL : Error: invalid path ORA-29280

I'm trying to get this work but what can I do ? does anybody know how to resolv this problem

     fich := UTL_FILE.FOPEN('e:\','test.lst','W');
     UTL_FILE.PUT(fich,'something');

          DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Error: write error ' || SQLERRM);
          UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(fich);
     WHEN others then
          DBMS_output.put_line('other error : '||SQLERRM);
          UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(fich);

Always return :

ORA-06512: at "SYS.UTL_FILE", line 424
ORA-06512: at line 4
If someone can tell me where's the fault. thanks in advance

Also note, that directories you want to have access to should be listed in UTL_FILE_DIR server parameter (you edit it in your init.ora and restart the server for changes to take effect.) Setting it to * (everything everywhere) is NOT recommended as it opens whole file system for access and may lead to security problems.

Invalid Report File Path Error

I have included several Crystal Reports as embedded resources in a Visual Studio 2010 C# project. When I try to run the application on a client PC I receive an invalid report file path error. Why am I receiving this error if the rpt is embedded in the manifest?

The following code now works on my development machine. It obtains the server name and database name from the configuration file. When I run on my client PC, however, it prompts me to log into the database. It provides the correct server name but the database name is blank and integrated security is not checked. The database name field is not enabled so I cannot provide a value.

Invalid path /jsp/AFDashboardPageView Error with 3.1 dashboard

Anyone run into this error with displaying dashboards in InfoView 3.1 (on sp2, fixpack 2.7): HTTP Status 400 - Invalid path /jsp/AFDashboardPageView was requested. It's not the dashboard itself - displays fine in edit mode and even simple test ones generate the error.
I have 2 environments at the same patch level. One is working and the other gives this message but I can't find the diff. I've been working with support for several days now with no progress.
I'm so incredibly frustrated with version 3.1 right now and would be really grateful for any help.

Hi Cecelia,
Thanks for the response. What did they say about another environment is working?
It doesn't make sense to me that it is a bug when one environment works but the other doesn't...
I also opened a ticket with SAP but they are so slow to respond.

I seem to remember there was a bug running certain of the Developer Suite products on Windows Server 2003. Think it was something to do with 10g versions and a missing dll.

Invalid Path for target file, check if connector is deployed correctly

Hi all,
I've got a tricky problem over here: we are using OMB scripts for generating simple extract mappings that just copy data from an oracle source table to a flat file on a directory. Up untill now ( with version 11.1 ) this did not pose any troubles, but now we are using 11.2 for the first time and we don't get the mappings to execute. Generating, validating and deploying all works fine, only executing fails with the error: "Invalid Path for target file, check if connector is deployed correctly". It ends to rapidly, so I'm assuming the problem lies in the repository and not on the database itself.
I'm pretty sure all locations are defined as needed, flat file operator in the mapping has correct location, the flat file module has the same location,...
I tried almost everything: recreate oracle module, recreate flat file module, unregister and recreate db location, unregister and recreate dir location, recreate mapping and flat file, export/import...
The strange thing is, I was able to execute a mapping once. Although it ended with an error (due to a function in the mapping), it created the file correctly. After that I needed to update the directory path of the target location and from then on, I always got the error above, and I don't see a good reason.
Any suggestions??
Tnx,
Michel

That error is displayed when the generated code fails to execute with one of the following database errors;
UTL_FILE.INVALID_PATH
UTL_FILE.INVALID_OPERATION
UTL_FILE.INVALID_FILEHANDLE
So its worth checking the generated code for that map and searching for the code around UTL_FILE.FOPEN and seeing what the path and the file name in the code are. Maybe the file is created with permissions such that it can be created but not then re-written and its an OS permissions thing (such as UMASK settings).
Cheers
David

Are all of your pages that are linked to this on the same directory level?
The ../../ in front of every link means "go up two directory levels". If there are no pages, or if some of the pages are not at that directory level, the links would be going to nothing.
I don't use library items myself, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it, but the "bad path" in your error report leads me to think some of those paths (since they're the only ones in the code) could be pointing to the wrong locations.
My response will also bump your question back to the top of the pile. Maybe someone else will have a good idea of what's actually happening.

Invalid Number Error for Decimal Field While Loading Data

I am loading a delimited text file using the SQL* loader however I am reciving an error in my decimal fields. When a decimal field only has leading zeros before the decimal point I receive invalid number error. Below will clarify:

i.e.) 00046567.45 [*Valid number*]
i.e.) 00000001.00 [*Valid number*]
