topic Data Storage Location in Alfresco Archive https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/data-storage-location/m-p/232457#M185587 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Hi,</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Initially I had setup Alfresco to use a local area of disk as the data storage. I now wish to move this onto a mapped drive. I have chnaged the line 'dir.root= ……' in the alfresco.global.properties file. Alfresco will not now start up and fails. To test I have copied all the files from the local alf_data directory into the new shared area, but that also makes no difference. Are there more steps I need to complete, or can this not be done in this way.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Alfresco is running on a SLES11 64bit VM, on an ESXi4 server.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>Many thanks.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Wed, 28 Jul 2010 05:56:43 GMT tonyg 2010-07-28T05:56:43Z Data Storage Location https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/data-storage-location/m-p/232457#M185587 Hi,Initially I had setup Alfresco to use a local area of disk as the data storage.
