The configuration of temporary file locations is an important part of the set up for every site to avoid conflicts with server functionality. When you create a site, if these locations are not configured properly, the temporary files can cause conflicts or performance issues. The best practices for using temporary file locations are as follows:

  • Ensure the proper access permissions are applied to the server temporary file locations for each site separately.

  • Ensure the temporary file locations are configured to clear temporary files after usage.

  • Set the ServerFilePartsDirectory, AppServerTempDirectory, and FileServerTempDirectory temporary file site settings for each site separately. This avoids any conflicts between sites. For more information, see the site Settings node properties.

    • If the ServerFilePartsDirectory is not set, the application will try to use the AppServerTempDirectory for each site.

    • If the temporary file locations are not set for a site, the system defaults to use the Windows temp directory.

  • Set the load user profile to True on the application pool to use the application pool user’s temporary file location instead of the Windows temp directory.
