Post subject:  major issue with my website when launching pdfs
Hi

I have set up a website on my dev server and when I test the page it creates the pdfs no problem. When I move them to my prod server almost everything fails to work.

for example it looks for images and areas to save the pdfs on the c: drive instead of within the folder of the website.

it doesnt matter if I specify the location of the image it still defaults to the c: drive so if I have
Code:
Dim image As XImage = XImage.FromFile("\\servername\drive\folder1\folder2\folder3\folder4\logo.png")


or
Code:
Dim image As XImage = XImage.FromFile("/images/logo.png")

it wont display the image and throws and error.

Also on when it tries to save the document using
Code:
document.Save(filename)
it throws an error

Can anyone help?

Hi!

The Application Pool on the Web Server must use an account with sufficient rights to read and/or save the files where you want to have them.

For a quick test, you can create an Application Pool with "Local System" as user. If that works, than create a new user for your application and give that user only the required rights on your disks.

Hi

thanks for adding a reply.

if I use the short path to the folder it doesnt work at all (images/image.png) even on the dev server as it seems to default to using the C drive is there anyway I can force it to use the images folder within the solution regardless of where I put the solution (for example on the production server) the same goes for the location of when it tries to save the document.

Relative paths (like images/image.png) are relative to the current directory.
You can set this using Environment.CurrentDirectory.
