"404 - File or directory not found." when run FastReport.NET under an IIS Application: Web

I am testing the FastReport.NET Trial Version.

I have an ASP.NET Core 2 aplication deployed under an IIS Application: WebSite/WebApplication

When I run a FastReport.NET report I get:
Server Error
404 - File or directory not found.
The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.


and using developer tools in browser I see multiple errors like this one:

HTTP404: NOT FOUND - The server has not found anything matching the requested URI (Uniform Resource Identifier).
(XHR)GET - http://server:8001/_fr/preview.getReport?r...;renderBody=yes


I have tried to change RouteBasePath to "/WebApplication/_fr" and this time I get:
Error
404 - Not Found


and using developer tools in browser I see multiple errors like this one:
HTTP404: NOT FOUND - The server has not found anything matching the requested URI (Uniform Resource Identifier).
(XHR)GET - http://server:8001/WebApplication/_fr/prev...;renderBody=yes



If I move the ASP.NET app into the root Application of the IIS WebSite or run it under VS2017 IIS Express everything works fine.

How to make it function under WebSite/WebApplication ?

Thank you

    definitely a bug, but there is a workaround: inject basepath into html/script which is rendered by fastreport

    The link url is not working.
    What was your workaround solution please? I try inject basepath into HTML/script rendered by fastreport, but after that in page there are additional ajax calls and urls are wrong.
    Thanks.
  • hey, have any progress? cuz I got the same problem...

  • you must have source code to fix the bug

  • To get the Web Root Path try

    In  Core 2.0

      public class HomeController : Controller

      {


        private readonly IHostingEnvironment _hostingEnvironment;

        ..........

         

        public HomeController(IHostingEnvironment hostingEnvironment)

        {

          _hostingEnvironment = hostingEnvironment;

        }


        ....In your code... Index()

        string webRootPath = _hostingEnvironment.WebRootPath; // Get the path to wwwroot folder


    In Core 3 and higher try


      public class HomeController : Controller

      {


        private readonly IWebHostEnvironment _hostingEnvironment;

        ..........


        public HomeController(IWebHostEnvironment hostingEnvironment)

        {

          _hostingEnvironment = hostingEnvironment;

        }

        ....In your code... Index()

        string webRootPath = _hostingEnvironment.WebRootPath; // Get the path to wwwroot folder

  • Asp.net Core 2.2 single page application, dont forget to copy folder "Reports" to publish folder😀

  • Asp.net Core 3.1 single page application, dont forget to copy folder "Reports" to publish folder

    <ItemGroup> 
      <Content Include="Reports\**"> 
        <CopyToOutputDirectory>PreserveNewest</CopyToOutputDirectory> 
      </Content> 
    </ItemGroup>

    Hello ipong,

    thanks for your fast help :)

    i modified following lines:

    //        string basePath = Request.PathBase.Value.Replace("/", "");

            string basePath = Request.PathBase.Value;

            if (basePath.StartsWith("/"))

            {

              basePath = basePath.Substring(1);

            }

    With this the injection works on a folder-Structure like https://localhost/test/test2 on IISExpress

    When i deploy this to an IIS (windows 2016) into an subfolder test i get an 500-Error on the request

    _fr/preview.getReport?reportId=cf6af2189d4e4a389adaa8d382bc252e&renderBody=yes


    Do you have an idea?

    best regards

  • just change :

    string basePath = Request.PathBase.Value.Replace("/", "");

    to :

    string path = Request.PathBase.Value;

    string basePath = path.Length == 1 ? "" : path.StartsWith("/") ? path.Substring(1) : path;

    Hello Ipong,

    thanks for your help.

    i changed the code to your sample above - but there is still the http 500-Errorcode at _fr/preview.getReport?reportId=f7d249dbc88145879202c6a1f0a54cc5&renderBody=yes:1 

    Do you have another idea? Maybe one topic is, that directory test2 is converted to an Web-Application?

    best regards

  • rewrite the code, much cleaner...


    [HttpPost("Report")]

    [Route("Report")]

    public ModelFastReport Report([FromBody] ModelDemo value)

    {

    try

    {

    DataSet data1 = LoadData1();

    List<Category> data2 = LoadData2();


    FastReport.Web.WebReport wr = new FastReport.Web.WebReport();

    string frx = Path.Combine(_env.ContentRootPath, "reports", value.file);

    wr.Report.Load(frx);

    wr.Report.RegisterData(data1, "NorthWind");

    wr.Report.RegisterData(data2, "Categories BusinessObject");

    foreach (FastReport.Data.DataSourceBase item in wr.Report.Dictionary.DataSources)

    {

    item.Enabled = true;

    }

    string basePath = Request.PathBase.Value;

    return new ModelFastReport() { id = basePath, html = FastReportHtml(basePath, wr.ID, wr.RenderSync().Value) };

    }

    catch (Exception ex)

    {

    return new ModelFastReport() { id = "", html = ex.ToString() };

    }

    }


    private string FastReportHtml(string basePath, string token, string htmlString)

    {

    string oldCssOutline = string.Format(".fr{0}-outline {{", token);

    string newCssOutline = string.Concat(oldCssOutline, "color: black;");

    string oldAjax = "container.outerHTML = xhr.responseText";

    string newAjax = string.Format("{0}.replace(\"{1}\", \"{2}\").replace(/\\/_fr/g, \"{3}/_fr\")", oldAjax, oldCssOutline, newCssOutline, basePath);

    string oldCssProgress = "style=\"min-height:200px\">";

    string newCssProgress = string.Format("><img src=\"{0}/progress.gif\">", basePath);

    string OldCssSpinner = string.Format(".fr{0}-spinner {{", token);

    string NewCssSpinner = string.Concat(OldCssSpinner, "display: none;");

    string oldCssBackgroundColor = "background-color: white;";

    return htmlString.Replace("/_fr", basePath + "/_fr").Replace(oldCssBackgroundColor, "").Replace(oldCssProgress, newCssProgress).Replace(OldCssSpinner, NewCssSpinner).Replace(oldAjax, newAjax);

    }

  • but...when you have a report with picture inside, 'print from browser' will not work. thats why in my previous comment, i said "you must have source code to fix the bug"

  • Hello Ipong,

    thanks for your hint.

    i had to publish a selfcontained deployment because on the IIS server is only the .Net Core Hosting-Package installed - but the Solution requires The framework 'Microsoft.WindowsDesktop.App', version '3.1.0' was not found..

    i think this comes from the used Core3-Assemblies. It is possible to get a version, which runs with the .Net Core-Hosting-Package?


    best regards

  • i got the same error, must downgrade to .net core 2.2 => FastReport.Core.2021.1.7-demo.nupkg & FastReport.Web.2021.1.7-demo.nupkg
