store data in other computer

[unknown-user]

I would like to know how store data in other server than this where alfresco is running?
A possibility is to create a landrive and to modify repositories.properties with dir.root=Z:/storagedirectory.

Is it possible to only modify dir.root with IPadress//storagedir?

thanks

Hello. We were just trying to do the same thing today and had problems.
We had network attached storage mapped to a network drive ( Z: ) which required authentication.

The solution we found was as follows:

1) Ensure the tomcat (we're using tomcat) service runs authenticated with the required credentials to access the drive (For example Administrator etc).

2) (this was the bit we were stuck on for a while) in repository.properties z:/alf_data didn't work. We has to use the full unc path, //nas1/blah blah/alf_data


hope this helps some.

I didn't mention:  The post was to point out some areas where you could encounter problems when doing something similar. As far as providing an ip address - i haven't tried.
