Storing data on another volume

Novell Cool Solutions: Question & Answer

Posted: 9 Oct 2002

Q:
How can I store iFolder user data on a volume other than SYS?



A:
During the installation of iFolder the user is required to enter the location for the User Data. The default location is SYS:iFolder but can be changed to any Volume or path on the server.

To change the user data location after installing iFolder, edit the SYS:Apache\iFolder\Server\httpd_additions_nw.conf file and change "iFolderServerRoot SYS:\iFolder" to the new volume and path. It will be listed twice in the file, the first instance is for the non-ssl virtual host, and the second one is for the ssl virtual host. Make the change in both locations. If user accounts already exist, copy all content from the SYS:iFolder directory to the new location. This change will then be transparent to existing iFolder users.
