alf_data on new location

[omkar]

Hi All, Currently I am using Alfresco 3.2 on Linux. But due to space issue I have to move the alf_data to a new location. Since, the disk space is full, I am mounting a NAS device on the same Linux machine and will move the alf_data to new NAS location. The new mount point will be accessed with a IP say "178.452.0.11:/newSapce" on the same machine. If I point the new alf_data location in the properties file, will new location be accessed with IP? The mount point is on the same device.

Regards,

@Omkar,

We have this setup. We created a mount point on a centos box and just pointed the alfresco install to the mount location. I'm not really sure what your talking about on the IP part. A mount is basically a shared drive which you configure server side.

You can't use the IP address directly in your alfresco-global.properties.     On a unix like machine you would mount (or link) the filesystem first and then access it by path.   e.g.   dir.root = /foo/bar/newSpace

I am attempting this with my own test box and Alfresco is not respecting the dir.root option in alfresco-global.properties. It still tries to load from the default /opt/alfresco-5.0.d/alf_data location.

Thoughts?

You don't give any details.   But if I am to guess what's wrong then the first thought is that your alfresco-global.properties is in the wrong place.    Or if you have installed it yourself you have forgotton to set the shared class loader in Tomcat.

I ran the Linux installer which I downloaded from the Alfresco website using the standard options.
