Hi guys.

My site will go to
http://www.mydomain.com/login.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fuser-portal%2femail.html 
when i trying to save XML file at 
http://www.mydomain.com/user-portal/email.html 

Any idea? It only happened when I upload to my web server. Working properly when i test in localhost.

Below is my code to save xml file.

        Dim xmldoc As New XmlDocument()
        xmldoc.Load(Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/Email.xml"))
        Dim xmlnode As XmlNode = xmldoc.DocumentElement.ChildNodes.Item(0)

        xmlnode("hostname").InnerText = Me.txt_hostname.Text
        xmlnode("port-number").InnerText = Me.txt_portnumber.Text
        xmlnode("ssl").InnerText = Me.ddl_ssl.SelectedValue
        xmlnode("username").InnerText = Me.txt_username.Text
        xmlnode("password").InnerText = Me.txt_password.Text
        xmlnode("from").InnerText = Me.txt_username.Text
        xmlnode("reply-to").InnerText = Me.txt_username.Text
        xmlnode("fromName").InnerText = Me.txt_from_name.Text
        xmlnode("recipient").InnerText = Me.txt_recipient.Text

        xmldoc.Save(Server.MapPath("~/App_Data/Email.xml"))

        'show result
        Response.Write("<script language='javascript'>window.alert('Saved Successfully.');window.location='/web-portal/email.html';</script>")

Hi Yong Qing,

This is the returned error message after i tried to save the XML file. It's working fine in localhost but only happened when I upload to the web server.

Server Error in '/' Application.

This is what happens if you try to use http://www.mydomain.com/user-portal/email.html directly in the address bar of your browser ? Or is this really on /login.aspx

F12 Network could also perhaps help to figure the exact address. In short it means the browser tries to load something from your web site, but the server side doesn't find anything that could be sent back at this location.

A common cause is having a site..com/page.html in development but a site.com/app/page.html in production (and trying mistakenly to still fetch site.com/page.html)

Not sure how your XML and html page are related by you can't get anything stored in App_Data. If not ASPX page is working it could be the site is not even configured to handle ASP.NET.

Edit: try perhaps 

window.location.href='/web-portal/email.html';
