Change default temp location



  • I am running the sample application which converts the Razor pages into pdf.
    When the application is run it creates a jsReport folder in c:\windows\temp

    Is this temp location configurable? Where in my asp.net core project can I define the path?

    Thanks
    Kapil



  • jsreport uses the temp directory of the current user.
    You can change this using the configuration property TempDirectory



  • Thanks. after I set the temp directory property it creates a folder at my desired location. But I still see a directory getting created under windows\temp with cli and compile folders only.
    Is there a way to change that location also?



  • Unfortunately no. There are several levels of code and the top one doesn't use the tempDirectory because the configuration is not parsed yet.

    As a workaround, cannot you create a specific user under which you run the app in iis?



  • Running under a specific user I get a access denied error on c:\inetpub\wwwroot\myapp\jsreport
    It tries to create a folder jsreport under my app and is unable to do so. Do I need to give some special permissions to the user or IIS_IUSRS on the folder where myapp resides?



  • I think it is quite common to grant to the user running the app pool the access to the folder where the app runs.
    At least I do it almost always because the application typically writes some logs there.
