I have an issue with a GPO which limits every C:\Documents and Settings\Username folder to 100MB, and this cannot be changed. The .ignition folder for the project I’m working on is 216MB large!

How can I change where Ignition saves its cache, relocating it to F:\ ?

Thanks in advance.

Yes, you can relocate the Ignition cache. Just put a file called redirect.txt in the .ignition folder where the contents of the file is just the path you want the new cache folder like:

c:\path\to\new\ignition\cache

Remove everything else from the .ignition folder.

Thanks, it worked perfect!

It would be nice though if we could set this up in the gateway, as now I’ll have to follow this procedure on every client…
