Moving ContentStore

[pepperking]

Hi there,

I am fast running out of space on my c drive when alfresco 2.1 is located.  I have a D drive with plenty of space.  How easy is it to move the contentstore to this drive.  I know i have to change the dir.root but not sure how.

What files do i have to change?

It should be pretty straightforward:

1. Take a full backup of your repository (as described at http://wiki.alfresco.com/wiki/Backup_and_Restore)


2. Shut down Alfresco


3. Copy (or move) the entire directory pointed to by dir.root (usually "alf_data") to your 😧 drive using Windows Explorer or xcopy or whatever


4. Update dir.root to point to the new location on the 😧 drive


5. Restart Alfresco

Cheers,
Peter
