Change Location of File Attachments Directory
To change the location of the file attachments directory:
- Stop the web server
for FootPrints so that no updates
can take place on the attachments directory during this process.
- Copy or move the
files to a new location for the attachments directory that is both readable
and writable from FootPrints (we recommend a directory created for this
purpose called: /usr/local/footprints_3000/Attachments). Make sure when
copying the files that the entire directory structure is copied. Everything
you see inside the directory /usr/local/footprints_3000/html/tmp/Attachments
should be inside your new directory.
- Restart the web server
for FootPrints.
- Select Administration
| System | Attachments from the FootPrints
Toolbar.
- Scroll down to the
Change Attachments Directory Location section.
- Enter the full path
to new attachments directory on the FootPrints
server.
- Enter your password
and click the GO
button.
