Use a message to check that the parameter you're passing to app_begin has the value you think it does.
I suspect you're missing a \.

Whenever you construct a dynamic string you should display the string to check it's actually the value you think it is. It's a lot quicker than posting questions on a forum.

Web server or DB server?

Either way you want be using App_Begin.
If it's on the web server then you use web.show_document. I'm not sure what you use if it's on the DB.

Either way you don't want to be using App_Begin.
