Cannot use a leading ../ to exit above the top directory

What this means is that your web page is referring to content which is in the folder one level up from your page, but your page is already in the website's root folder, so the relative path is invalid. Judging by your exception message it looks like an image control is causing the problem.

You must have something like:

<asp:Image ImageUrl="..\foo.jpg" />

But since the page itself is in the root folder of the website, it cannot refer to content one level up, which is what the leading ..\ is doing.

You can use ~/img/myImage.png instead of ../img/myImage.png to avoid this error in ASP.NET pages.

You have an image or a favicon link of the style ="../" somewhere, that if the "../" were valid, would go beyond the top of the site, like this:

Image:

http://example.com/Images/test.jpg

Page

http://example.com/Pages/test.aspx

Valid on that page: ../Images/test.jpg
Would throw an error: ../../Images/test.jpg
