I'm getting this error when trying to get content using the componentPresentationAssembler.GetContent() method:

CPAssembler error: Web control file is not located inside your website.

The path of the DCP folder in storage.config is correct and the folder is inside same website root directory.

    I have had this error in past in .NET due to this path setting being case-sensitive. Can you confirm the path is correct, including case? (copy/pasting the path from Windows Explorer was how I solved it)

    I assume from the fact that you are using a storage config that this is Tridion 2011 or 2013. Can you tag your question with a release version please? It is also worth noting that the path to the DCP folder (in the storage config file) is case sensitive. Unless there is a strong business case not too, I would tend to implement these using RELs as they are far more scalable. More information is on Will's Tridion Developer post here

Problem solved. The issue was in the cd_storage_config file where I had an item typeMapping set to use the wrong itemExtension. The specific issue was with the entry:

<Item typeMapping="ComponentPresentation" itemExtension=".ascx" storageId="defaultDataFile"/>`

In my case itemExtension was .asp by mistake. I changed it to .ascx and everything works.
