I modified dir.contentstore and dir.contentstore.deleted in alfresco-global.properties. The directories where created on the new destination but Alfresco was still accessing to the old location.</SPAN><BR /><BR /><SPAN>I do not why. Here theoretically should not be involved postgresql and solr neither.</SPAN></BODY></HTML> Tue, 09 Oct 2012 17:44:32 GMT https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/moving-dir-root-alf-data-and-solr/m-p/249917#M203047 rmacian 2012-10-09T17:44:32Z Re: Moving dir.root (alf_data) and Solr https://connect.hyland.com/t5/alfresco-archive/moving-dir-root-alf-data-and-solr/m-p/249918#M203048 <HTML><HEAD></HEAD><BODY><SPAN>Did you found the solution for moving content store.
