Setting repository location

[brkdncr]

I'm having problems with setting the repository location.

Alfresco is installed to C:\alfresco\
Repository is at E:\DFSRoots\Network\Data\alf_Repository\

Alfresco runs with the default repository location but won't start when I set dir.root=E:/DFSRoots/Network/Data/alf_Repository in C:\alfresco\tomcat\shared\classes\alfresco\extension\custom-repository.properties

Here's the alfresco.log

Hi

I'm assuming you're using v2.1 Community? Also presuming you haven't reconfigured to use MySQL?

Did you copy the existing alf_data folder and its contents to the new location before trying to restart?

Thanks,
Mike

Check if your custom-repository.properties contains right dialect
