Modifying the Report Output Directory

Reports are written by default to a location under the web root on the web server. (Use the View, Web Server Parameters command to view the default location (password required).)
If you run a The default relative path is
folder  containing reports <folder_name>/#DateTime#
single report  <folder_name>/<report_name>/ #DateTime#

#DateTime# is translated by ILux into the current system date and time.

To modify the output directory location:

Change the relative path:

Enter the path relative to the web server root to which you want the report written. If a directory or directories does not exist, ILux creates it for you. See Examples below.
Note Use only the forward (/) slash. The backwards slash (\) may cause report creation to fail.

Use a direct path:

For any path you enter, the ILux server host must have write access to that location. See Examples below.
Note Remember that the location is in relationship to the ILux server, not the client from which you are requesting the report.

Use a FTP location:

Enter a valid FTP location.

Examples

Using universal naming convention (UNC), a mapped directory, or an FTP path are acceptable.

For example,

  • //MASTER/WEBROOT/REPORTS/#DateTime#
  • R:/REPORTS/#DateTime#
  • ftp://ftp.domain.com/ ~username/reports//#DateTime#
  • /usr/jim/reports/#DateTime#
are all acceptable.
