PDFsharp & MigraDoc Foundation

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

or
it wont display the image and throws and error.

Also on when it tries to save the document using 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.
