Repository drive

[sgaucho]

Hi,

I have installed Alfresco community version v3.4 in my C: drive and would like to have the repository in the 😧 drive. Is this possible?

Further, I tried to change the Login page logo by altering /projects/web-client/source/web/jsp/login.jsp, restarted tomcat, deleted the catalina folder but to no avail.
Is there somewhere else that I need to change?

tx,
sg

so did you change alfresco-global.properties AND move the data.

What have you done.   What is happening?

Thanks for your reply ,

i wanted to put all the data in a place where i can take a backup easily and  i knew that the data are stored in database and in alf_data folder so i wanted to use mysql database and put the alf_data folder in another partition so i choose from the setup to use an existing database and gave it a name alfresco ,  at first gave me the error "to prevent memory leak the ThreadLocal has been forcibly removed " so i changed  JAVA_OPTS in  the setenv.bat  in tomcat/bin  to %JAVA_OTPS% -Xms256m -Xmx1024m -XXermSize=128m -XX:MaxPermSize=128m  and it worked fine till now
then i changed the root.dir in alfresco-global.properties to G:/alf_data so it created another folder there ( although there was a folder in C:/Alfreco/alf_data  ) but said no repository found

so i unsistalled alfresco and did all what  i did before but before startup tomcat i changed the root.dir = G:/alf_data   in alfresco-global.properties and after start up  folder was created  but  also it says no repository found


i wish you can help me and please tell me if there is anything wrong in what did
Thanks again

You need to copy the contents of your C:/Alfreco/alf_data to uour g:/alf_data

Thanks alot for you reply

i unistalled alfresco and removed the database and installed every thing from the begining
i startup tomcat  every thing is ok and the folder c:/Alfresco/alf_data is created then i took a copy of it and put it in g:/alf_data and change the dir.root=g:/alf_data
i stopped the community service and deleted the folder in c:/Alfresco/alf_data , when i click on tomcat startup at the end it gives me SEVERE: Coyote connector has not been started
eventhought it opens the http://localhost:8080/alfresco 

so please can you help me fix this error

Thanks again

Why did you remove the database.    You need the database and the content store.

i'm sorry for not being clear i removed the database and then created it again  and for the content i deleted it after i pointed to the other directory ( g:/alf_data)
and for the error that appears when i click on the startup i let the server starts up automatically so when i restarted the server it opened automatically althought i didn't know the reason for the error from the start but it opened the url for alfresco

i'm really so grateful for your help
thanks

Hi All ,
I had installed alfresco trial version and it was working correctly then after restarting the computer the tomcat didn't want to open and it said that the java-home is not correct (although is was working before)so we changed it and worked fine but after a while (without changing mysql or the path of the alf_data  )it says repository not found so i want to know where is the problem ,is it because the period of the trial version is finished or  something else is wrong

Thanks for your help

Hi All,

we had repodrive on C:, but SSD was nearly full.
I wanted to change the repository drive to D:, described in forum.
But after that, we didn't reached alfresco anymore.
I made a rollback, changed repodrive to C:, but alfresco was still not reachable.

After we read some hints in forum, we
-recovered the database, it's up and running 
-accessibly .post gres restored
-tomcat running

We followed the hints, but we couldn't login into alfresco.
I attached the logs.

I am grateful for your help
